A lovely warm welcome (and room upgrade!) was the start of a perfect stay. Beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were clean and well-appointed. We'd definitely stay again. ##### Sophie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LaRue 2 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hosts were very helpful and accommodating.

Not only is their guest house beautiful, but the service was second to none and made our first stay in Edinburgh a great one. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet and well serviced stay a stones throw from downtown Edinburgh. ##### Jack Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco 6 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very beautifull, elegant and clean room.

But I found that they are totally justified. I received an upgrade on arrival and my hosts could not have been more helpful, giving me information about places worth visiting, local transport and options of where to eat etc. Walking into the house for the first time, it was clear what a nice place I'd entered. The room itself was meticulously presented each day, with an excellent eye for small details. I even had a view of Arthur's Seat out of the window. And if like me you go without a car, the bus services nearby are frequent and excellent. If you're considering Highfield Guest House for a stay, trust the recommendations, including mine. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ab8ebe9c-59cb-483c-ac67-00332b523802-1757084263054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/efaa8fd2-fa94-447a-82f2-5b6a55e1c122-1757084262969.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 14 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One of the best Guest Houses in Edinburgh The Highfield Guest House is just a little bit further from the centre of Edinburgh but you can easily get there in 20 minutes by bus. The premises are immaculate and I was given a very friendly welcome by Maggie. Breakfast is not provided but that is not a difficulty as a branch of Margiotta's supermarket is just opposite where good croissants and coffee are available. The ensuite facilities were very well kept. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julien 8 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was very happy with my stay in the end. The Guest House staff was very welcoming and helpful. I loved my room and would come back int he future. There was some initial confusion around whether my 2-night stay included breakfast or not (as my Expedia booking clearly indicated it did). When I reached out to Expedia, the phone support was insufficient and inadequate. The Guest House did make up for it with some tea / coffee / fruit / biscuits available inside my room. ##### Julien Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley 12 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kate was fantastic at check in and checked with me the next day to see if I needed anything.

Ideally located for a business meeting at the Observatory. The Highfield has only a few rooms (5, I believe) and the owners are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are not very large but very clean, comfortable and extremely well maintained. It is not a place where you want to work for hours but if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in your room, it is a great place to stay. If needed, I am sure you can use the breakfast room to work or read. The breakfast is cooked to order, very tasty and served starting at 8am. I keep on the top of my list for places to stay in Edinburgh. ##### Guido Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property.

Well connected to bus routes too, and close to most of the Fringe venues. Maggie and Kate were great hosts, with Maggie in particular giving loads of advice on travel and dining options. The single room is a little on the small side but comfortable, bright and clean. I hadn't realised the bathroom was not ensuite but it is very close to the bedroom and not a major inconvenience. Breakfast was amazing! ##### Iain Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very attractive period home, tastefully decorated + great breakfasts.
