I have stayed in the The Mayville Guest House a few times now and have always enjoyed my stay. Ok its not the Ritz, but for the price, it is excellent value. The rooms are decent, the breakfast is very nice and the location is good, pubs, restaurants all within a 5 minute walk. The Edinburgh castle and Royal mile... More

I had pre-booked a twin room a few weeks before my arrival in Edinburgh for myself and a friend. When arriving at the guest house we had to wait half an hour before the owner answered the door. He was rude, spoke to us like dirt and told us he had no record of my booking. We are two twenty... More

Don't stay here! We booked to stay here for New Years. We booked in September and had recieved confirmation of our booking by email. When we got there they told us they'd cancelled our booking a week before we were due to stay there and had notified us of that by email. They hadn't emailed us at all, as I'd... More

The Mayville Guest House was a little cozy bed and breakfast where we have stayed few days and which I would offer to anyone seeking good location and lovely service, suitable for couples and families.

I had a lovely warm clean tidy room at the front of the property,breakfast very good,the people were very friendly and kind and made me feel very welcome,the price was great,wifi in room,good transport links to princes street and i would definately stay there again,

I wasn't sure about booking here after reading the reviews... I honestly have no idea where all the negativity came from! I loved it. I had a massive room to myself, with free fast wi-fi. fridge, and aesthetic fireplace. The staff couldn't be more friendly. Location great for newington/city center/ meadows pubs and attractions. The house is an old victorian,... More

As an alternative to a hostel at least it is a private bedroom, with en-suite, but the decor is poor the beds not the most comfortable and the shower in my room was a cold dribble. On the plus side at least there is some parking. It is a little out of town, but good access and there is free... More

you pay for a very basic but comfortable room which is in need of decor. breakfast excellent and very friendly chap who apologised for lack of decor as he was not the owner. parking good and a bus ride away from princess st. cost 6.50 for taxi back late sat night. Yes we would go again.

To start with the good points, free parking, location and price! Lots of buses to the Old Town, etc. Now for the bad points. Had to wait for the owner to open the B&B, half an hour after being told it would be open. No apology. We found him to be a very strange guy! It's the shabbiest b&b we've... More
