Was in Edinburgh for a sporting event, and needed a hotel room for the night. This proved a bit of a challenge as it fell right in the middle of the Edinburgh Festival, and places were either sold out or prices through the roof, but after a good search I found Elder York Guest House. Excellent little family run hotel... More

Elder York is a great guest house because of its hosts and staff. They are warm, helpful, attentive, and informative. We visited Edinburgh for the marathon (late May) and they were very accommodating. My daughter had a fun run on Sat. for warm-up and a marathon on Sunday, and needed to leave the guest house earlier. They not only provided... More

Good position, right next to John Lewis, near the train station and Princes Street. Very comfortable and friendly. Harry very informative and helpful, especially in suggesting the free guided walking tour. 66 steps to our room, so need to be fit. Would highly recommend and stay there again.

Toast and jam... More

We stayed here after Christmas while visiting relatives and it was very nice indeed. It was literally 5 minutes walk to Princess St and it was surprisingly quiet considering it is beside the bus station. Very nice breakfast and an all round pleasant experience.

The guest house was far better than we had imagined.Harry was very helpful and friendly. He suggested a few places to visit and cooperated with us about keeping our luggage for the day even when we had checked out in the morning. Rooms were very cosy, neat and clean.Breakfast was delicious and had a very good spread. There were options... More

We arrived by train from London. It was an easy walk to the b&b. Harry was very welcoming and gave us great information on places to eat and recommended a great walking tour. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The Scottish breakfast was amazing. Location was perfect for walking the city.
