Glenalmond House

Excellent Guest House with real character, gorgeous en-suite room with heritage furniture. Very homely and lovely owners. Great breakfast choices. 20 minute walk to city centre and bus stops within 2 minutes walk. Lovely location.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem in Edinburgh! We absolutely loved our stay at Glenalmond House! From the moment we arrived, Jimmy and Fiona made us feel completely at home — they’re such warm, friendly hosts who genuinely care about their guests. Jimmy’s breakfasts are absolutely amazing — his omelets in particular are not to be missed! Every morning was a treat, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Our room was spotless and the bed was incredibly comfortable — one of the best sleeps we’ve had on our trip. The location couldn’t be better either: just a short, quick Uber ride to the Royal Mile and all the main sights, yet tucked away in a peaceful, charming neighbourhood. There are also some great local pubs nearby — we especially enjoyed The Old Bell Inn, which had fantastic food and a cozy atmosphere. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend Glenalmond House to anyone visiting Edinburgh. A perfect blend of comfort, location, and genuine Scottish hospitality!

Lovely and cozy bed and breakfast, very traditional but with good facilities. Super nice proprietors. Definitely recommend it.

Jimmy and Fiona are exceptional hosts. They are caring and are clearly passionate about what they do. The breakfast is the best we have had on the trip.

The whole house is very neat and beautiful. The room is very clean and meets the requirements. There is no scale in the kettle. The host and his wife are warm and friendly, and the service is thoughtful.The location is excellent, the bus stop is at the door, the fare is 5 pounds all day, and you can go to the city center in about 15 minutes. The weather is good and you can enjoy the city walk. I strongly recommend this hotel, the price is very good than the downtown, but the cost performance is very high. Just a little suggestion. It would be great if the pillow could be updated to memory form which would be of great help to people with sleep disorders. I will choose this place next time. Thank you Jimmy and Fiona.

Room had anextra single bed which made it a bit cramped

First off, the hosts were genuinely warm and welcoming, and immediately sought to make me, as their guest, feel comfortable and at home. After a quick orientation, I was taken to my room. Reading the info binder within, I thought I had never read any info binder more thorough or thoughtful than theirs - they have literally thought of everything. My room, though fronting onto a busy road, was quiet at night and I slept well. Breakfasts were excellent, with a lot of choice, all beautifully made. The location of the B & B is great - not in the centre of the tourist area, yet it's an easy walk into town, or, you can catch one of the many busses that will take you straight into the heart of the city in minutes.

Central. Very clean. Very good breakfast and excellent hosts.

Cosy and clean room, very friendly and helpful owners Jimmy and Fiona, great breakfast, location close to the city center

Great location with very easy walking to city centre or use the buses which run frequently from a bus stop 2 minutes walk away. Beautiful house and facilities. Jimmy and Fiona are excellent hosts. Great choice for breakfast and superb quality. Parking on site. Good WiFi. Very comfortable bed and room with en-suite.

We loved our stay. The room was clean, quiet and had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, the breakfast (which one orders from a menu in advance, saving a lot of waste) was great, and the owners were always friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed reading in the evening in the common drawing room, which has some fantastic furniture and highlights how well they restored the historic charm of the house. For public transit, they're also as good as it can possibly get; I don't think it really took us more than 20 minutes to get from our room to the city center, including walking and waiting for the next bus.

The staff were so kind, always checking on us and making sure we had everything we need. It was a beautiful and pleasant stay. I hope to be back some day. The breakfast was super fresh and made to order! The room was spacious and very clean. I loved the little sitting area in our room, and loved the big sitting area in the house itself. I liked the decor of the rooms and house.

The staff was more than happy to assist us with getting cabs and even made sure we had some food in our fridge for our very early morning departure!!!!

Breakfast was excellent. Choice was amazing and all wonderfully prepared and delivered with a smile.

Clean; lovely decor; very welcoming and helpful hosts; delicious breakfast. Nothing to complain about at all. Also on a good route into town which made our flying visit to Edinburgh Fringe very easy indeed. Will surely book again.

Location - in pleasant suburb with good pubs and restaurants nearby. On the main road, but quiet. On-site parking. Absolutely spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds with wonderfully soft bedclothes. Accomadating & attentive host.

Everything - the decor, the comfort and the catering are all outstanding.
