We stayed at the Lindsay Guest House for 2 nights while visiting Edinburgh for sightseeing and attending 2 concerts. We chose the Guest House after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. Very convenient to the City Centre with a good bus service and a nice walk along the canal. Murrayfield was close by. The breakfast was delicious and generous. The twin room... More

We've just returned from our second visit to the Lindsay Guest House and can't wait to visit again in August. We discovered the Lindsay last year when we visited Edinburgh for the Tattoo. While a little bit out of the city centre it is still within walking distance (about half an hour) but there is an excellent bus service right... More

I stayed in a single room with private shower. Keith was very friendly and helpful. He gave me a lot of information about nearby grocery stores, etc. The bathroom was very clean and seemed to be quite new. The room itself was very clean, too - it was equipped with TV, washbasin, hair-dryer, and tea making facilities. Rooms and bathrooms... More

We decided to stay overnight in Edinburgh at the last minute and chose Lindsay Guesthouse online. The other complimentary reviews helped us decide and we weren't disappointed. Our room at the front of the building was lovely, and although the water pressure in the ensuite wasn't terrific, the bathroom facilities were very nice. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the...

My wife and I were very pleased with the welcome we received, even though we arrived early, and the Jeffs did everything to make us, and the other guests, feel comfortable and cossetted. Very handy for transport to our various destinations, and time spent by the canal at the back of the house is not wasted - always something of... More

We choose Lindsay Guesthouse based on TripAdvisor reviews, availability and price for our time in Edinburgh. If I were to visit again, I would choose Lindsay Guesthouse without a doubt! We made a late reservation for the busy month of August and got the last room available-the first floor twin in the back near the kitchen. Keith must be as... More

I've only stayed in a guest house one other time. I normally stay in hotels. I had a great time at the Lindsay Guest House. The staff, accommodations, and breakfast were all wonderful. They were also very helpful with any requests. Very convenient location for bus transportation into the city and back. I would absolutely choose the Lindsay for my... More
