I absolutely loved my stay at Martin's Guest House. It felt incredibly welcoming from the beginning and my room on the top floor was very cozy. Thank you so so much to the owner for the warm welcome, the flexibility with the extended stay and the delicious breakfast. I think this is the best place to stay in Edinburgh and would highly recommend it. It is on a quiet street but with great transport links to the city centre, shops and cafes nearby, and fabulous views from the top floor. It will feel like a home away from home. I honestly did not want to leave.

We stayed 4 nights chez Martins Guesthouse having selected it at short notice - and so pleased that we did. We can be a fussy couple but there was nothing to be concerned with here. The entrance to the property is so reassuring if not alluring - spotless, crisp small garden and the entrance adorned with lights and flowers. The decor is well thought out, appealing and without blemish. So too the rooms - we stayed in Room 6 with en-suite and plenty of space. The air of cleanliness abounds and so places you at immediate ease throughout your stay. While coffee/tea etc is in your room, the breakfast room downstairs offers 24/7 fresh milk, juice, chilled water and some snacks. You are getting the picture - proprietors Stephen and Sam have thought through everything from the perspective of their guests, and delivered handsomely. They are particularly welcoming and their friendly, generous stance is surpassed only by their sausage dog Woody (aka Bay City Rollers fame) who is always on hand to offer a friendly bark or two. Finally, the two bus routes in/out of the city centre stop 25m either side of Martins Guesthouse. Yes, the overnight rate is a tad expensive and the wi-if needs wider coverage. But to sleep so well in such clean surroundings and then descend each morning to the best prepared breakfast you could imagine (and plenty of choice), well we shall be back, in a heartbeat. You should too - it is fab.

The guest house owner is the most friendly and hospitable person we have ever met on our travel. He provided us with many travel leaflets and informed us on the best attractions and how to get there. When we had a complaint, he was quick to address and fix said issue. Breakfast was great. Would recommend.

Absolute Perfection I had an Immaculate and modern room, plenty of towels, soap, shower gel, toilet rolls and tea coffee etc. fresh water in room and help yourself to fresh milk, which is near front door in a fridge. Parking is available. I managed to park close by for free over a weekend. Bus into centre is very close, it?s £1.90 for single journey and £4.?? For day pass. I got a taxi from Waverley and it was £8.00. Breakfast was good restaurant quality, even my tomato as the tastiest ever! Reasonably priced for breakfast and room, Good value for Edinburgh. Close to where you may wish to visit and I felt extremely safe as a singleton. The owner cannot do enough for his guests, any query quickly answered. I really would love to go back again soon

Stephen is incredible kind. The breakfast is really, really good. The atmosphere and of the place is great and comfortable. The rooms are really comfortable, but not too big. Location is good. A little bit expensive.

Fantastic host who provided us with information about directions and places to eat. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for him. Amazing breakfasts and great location for both the city centre and getting to Murrayfield for events.

The guest house in general is very good. The decoration is first class, the breakfast is very good. However, the bedrooms seem to have just one WiFi access point and connectivity and broadband speed are both very bad. Very good - if WiFi is not required. Not so good - if good WiFi required.

I stayed at this lovely guesthouse for 3 nights in May. The location is quite close to the city centre, and in a quiet neighbourhood. I was given a lovely friendly welcome from Stephen who came out and showed me where to park the car (off street parking which you need to pre-book), then helped with my luggage. He sat me down with a map and told me all the best places to go. The whole guest house is beautifully decorated and high class, and the room I was in (room 3) was spotlessly clean, elegant but cosy with lovely decor, and with nice furniture and a comfortable bed. Lots of little touches like bottled water and biscuits in the room. The bathroom was also spacious and stylish. And the breakfasts! So tasty and I can recommend the smoked salmon! I also had a Martin?s Special which is potato waffles, bacon and syrup, and there is much more to help yourself to - cereal, toast and jam, cheese, and fruit is always available for you to help yourself to at any time of day. When it was (sadly) time to leave, Stephen again helped me with my luggage, then waved me off, I felt quite emotional to leave as he is such a lovely, kind man. He really do absolutely anything he can to help you with your stay. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much Stephen and Sam. If you will have me, I would love to come and stay with you again.

lovely place to stay with great host! We had the biggest family room with a double and two twin beds. The house is impeccably maintained with great attention to detail. Superb breakfast too! Can't recommend enough!
