We stayed here largely because we need city center action ,and,if you will, prestige.We knew there was no lift,but booked anyway as the locale was great.You will find it rather close to Princes St. and the castle,and yes a view of which is there.Our room was a generous size and seems to be one of the coveted ones.(the room with...

We stayed at the castle View Guest House for 2 nights. The guest house itself was in a fantastic location, right beside Princes Street and all the lovely little shops and bars on rose Street. However late at night when the party people were heading back to their hotels this wasn't such a good thing. We were woken both nights... More

It's difficult enough to find a reasonably priced B&B close to Edinburgh's town centre, and Castle View is so close to Princes Street that it's hard to imagine a better location. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the rooms were big enough and the breakfast was lovely. About the name - yes, you can see the castle (for example... More

On the plus sides, the location of the Castle View Guesthouse is great - within walking distance from the train station, the castle, really close to restaurants, cafes and the likes. And given all its centrality it is relatively quiet too. So location-wise it's hard to do better, especially for the money. The rooms are clean and seem to be... More

Trying to find a place to stay for a fair price, in a city, with breakfast, can be a bit of a pain. BUT we found a really nice place. Is it 4 star? probably not, is it clean, comfortable, and fairly quiet? Yes it is. Met by Magic ( his English name?) A charming and helpful guy, we were... More

Stayed in a family room (for 4 adults, 2 children) number 9. Communication before arriving was excellent; our grandson being wheat and gluten free was no problem and leaving our cabin cases after an early morning flight before checking in in the afternoon also no problem. The room was large with 3 double beds (unfortunately 1 had springs a bit... More

Great value accommodation in a great location. We were on the top floor (4) so not for those with any mobility problems. There is no lift as this is a listed building. Room was large, beds very comfortable. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. Only fault would be the noisy plumbing system. Would definitely go back.

This is great value for money. very nicely decorated to a very high standard, with tea and coffee making facilities. Immaculately clean modern bathroom with lots of little bottles of shampoo shower gels and moisturisers. The staff are friendly and welcoming also giving us lots of information on both the hotel and the area. The owners and staff seemed to... More

Visited Edinburgh for my birthday with my husband, teenage daughter (16) and son (14). We stayed in Room No 3, one floor up (this room can sleep 6). Plenty of space in our room. Martin greeted us upon arrival and was very friendly. The guest house is in a fantastic location, across the road is the famous Rose Street, with... More
