The B and B is located opposite the zoo in a suburban area with street parking nearby. Use the bus to see the sights in the city center. Rooms were spotless and quiet, must be able to climb stairs, dining room is very nice. Chinese run.

The service at this guesthouse is very good and includes a cooked breakfast of your liking. The rooms are well equipped including tea and coffee facilities and the location is ideal if you have a car. Would stay here again.

Ideally located half way between Airport and city centre, directly opposite the zoo, this lovely little guest house run by Joanne is perfect for a short break. Clean, well equipped rooms, nice breakfast and a lovely atmosphere. I'll be coming back here if I get the chance!

I had an overnight stay in Edinburgh to attend a workshop at the Zoo the following morning. The guest house is literally across the road from the Zoo entrance and there are excellent bus services to the city centre at very regular intervals. My room was large and airy with a very comfortable bed. Freeview TV and free wifi are... More

The Mactintosh is situated in the suburbs opposite the Zoo. Transport links by bus are excellent both day and night (suggest buying a day ticket if making more than two single bus journeys as works out much cheaper) and very reasonably priced. The owners were very welcoming and our room was on the 2nd floor and was very comfortable with... More
