Melvin House, The Angus Room

Beautiful Georgian townhouse located in a peaceful and verdant residential area. The B+B offers a cosy bar and stunning library to rest and unwind after a daywalk. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious with a recently renovated bathroom. The latter would benefit from some layout adjustments, such as more hooks to hang the bath towels or clothes and a mirror shelf to store and/or display personal beauty care products throughout the stay. A heartfelt thanks to Caitlin for her professionalism, her help and friendly smile!

We loved this wonderful boutique hotel right near Dean's Village and not too far from Old Town, The Royal Mile, Castle and the tourist areas. The hotel was quaint & charming, the staff were very friendly & helpful, the breakfast had a nice variety of choices, including options for a freshly cooked meal served by their wonderful kitchen staff. Our room had a beautiful view of the cathedral and castle; I pre-ordered (fake) rose petals, chocolate and wine that were all displayed nicely in our room when we arrived. Also, the sheets were amazingly soft & comfortable! A side note: if you have mobility issues, the lift was very small (could only fit one person & their luggage at most), so we opted to take the stairs to and from our room. However, this was not a problem for us. Thank you for a welcoming stay for our first few nights in Scotland.

I had a truly lovely stay at the B B Hotel in Edinburgh and cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived I was greeted by smiling, genuinely helpful staff who immediately made me feel welcome. That warmth carried through the entire stay, from the attentive waitress at breakfast to Olga the manager whose professionalism and presence set the tone for the whole place. The room was perfectly prepared, with soft towels and an ideal temperature that was neither too warm nor too cold, one of those small but crucial details that makes all the difference. I genuinely felt at home away from home. The location could not be better. I travelled by train from London and the hotel is a literal stone’s throw from Haymarket Station, which is also very close to Waverley although Haymarket is definitely the stop you want. Breakfast was very good, fresh and satisfying, and the French pressed coffee from the kitchen was the crème de la crème, an absolute highlight. A lovely stay from start to finish and one I would happily repeat. PS: They also took care of my luggage so I could do a last-minute shopping after I had checked out. Thank you Olga.
