From the minute you arrive Aileen makes your stay very welcoming . What can I say, everything was beyond our expectations. The breakfasts were fabulous, rooms spacious and clean and we will definately stay here again if we are in Edinburgh. Thank you Aileen, we'll be back!! Christine & Dieter. More

We would highly recommend this hotel. We visited Edinburgh for our silver wedding and could not have wished for a warmer welcome. Aileen was the perfect host - the room was large and luxurious and the breakfast beautiful. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. It was a pleasant 15 min walk to the centre which suited us... More

Aileen is a very good hostess. But one can get better accommodation in Edinburgh for less. Things I did not like. No parking, no good views as the rooms are in the basement. Average breakfast. If this was a rating for hostess this would rate high but not for comparable accommodation in Edinburgh for the price. More

Just a 15 minute walk from the Royal Mile, The Victorian Town House will make you feel like a resident of Edinburgh! Spacious doesn't begin to describe the room, more like an apartment feeling. Large windows and a sofa with coffee table, the wonderful wardrobe and dresser, the fireplace with beautiful mantel, and comfy beds with pillows galore, and the... More

Outstanding room, excellent breakfast, near enough to everything, but tucked out of the way. The proprieter, Aileen, was so helpful that I cannot describe it. Both my wife and I felt welcome from the moment we arrived, and she helped us with taxis and travel details. Weleft totally impressed. There was just alittle street noise in the mornings, but it...

Not far from the city center this cosy B&B is situatet. Our host Aileen gave us a very warm welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay. The room was spacious and lovingly arranged. Nice breakfast with fruit, pancakes or full scottish. In our opinion, The Victorian Town House is an ideal accomodation, both for short trips or for extended... More

We stayed in the Victorian Townhouse for five nights in mid-September and very much enjoyed our stay. The rooms are large, clean and tastefully decorated. Aileen Reeves, the owner, is warm, gracious and delightful. She is also an outstanding cook! Breakfast choices include fresh berries, yogurts, cereals, eggs, back bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and the list goes on and on. The... More

It was my mums 60th birthday so I decided to take her to Edinburgh as a birthday treat. I found this bed and breakfast through tripadvisor and thought it would be suitable for our 6 night stay in Edinburgh. I phoned up to make the booking with Aileen and was disappointed to know that there wasn't any space left with... More

Aileen makes everyone feel welcome and is a mine of information about Edinburgh. We stayed in the Caledonian room which was huge with a large and modern en suite. Everything was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Breakfasts were a real treat with good choices and lovely fresh fruit and berries. The Townhouse is well positioned being about a 15... More

My wife and I stayed at this B&B for our recent brief trip to Edinburgh. The room we were in was very large, comfortable and peaceful. Our hostess, Aileen, was extremely gracious and helpful and even helped us navigate Scotland's excellent health care system during a minor medical emergency. The huge Scottish breakfasts Aileen prepared were delicious and in addition... More
