Aileen is the nicest woman we have met in our holidays. She really made us feel at home since the very first moment. Our room wasn´t ready yet when we arrived but Aileen invited us to leave our luggage in there though Natalie was still changing the bed linen. Though the house is not in the city centre itself it... more

What can be said that has not been said already, the other reviews are spot on. Aileen is the most hospitable and friendly person that you will meet and she will make your stay all the more enjoyable. We stayed for a total of five nighs in the Colonial room which is very spacious. The room was excellent and the... more

Meeting with Aileen, the landlady was amusing as I'm also called Aileen. My husband is Kenny and Aileen's brother who helps her is also called Kenny - felt like we were part of the family. There are 3 themed rooms at the Victorian Townhouse - the Caledonian, the Oriental and where we spent 3 nights- the Colonial - which was... more

The Victorian Town House deserves all of the great reviews. The rooms are absolutely beautiful - the decorations tastefully and thoughtfully done. They are also extremely spacious, with a sitting area in each - we stayed in both the Colonial and Caledonian rooms. Both of these rooms would be described as a suite in other hotels. Everything is spotlessly clean.... more

We are from the US and recently spent 10 days in the UK. By far, the Victorian Townhouse was the nicest and most enjoyable place we stayed. We made our reservations directly with the the owner Aileen Reeves who was both friendly and helpful. Our room was attractive and comfortable and Aileen made sure that it was kept spotless. The... more

What an amazing B&B. I have never been made to feel more comfortable and at home when staying somewhere. A friend recommended ‘The Victorian Town House’ to myself and I can certainly see why. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and homely whilst and the decor is truly a touch of class. Aileen (the owner), is one of the nicest people... more

Easy to get to from the airport, comfortable walk to downtown restaurants, Scottish Art Museum, Royal Mile, and Edinburgh Castle. The rooms are spacious and extremely well decorated. You won't need to eat again for 24 hours after a multiple course breakfast. Aileen couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating to us or our teenage children. more

Just returned from a stay with my daughter at The Victorian Townhouse. This place gets top marks on all fronts! The hostess, Aileen, is friendly, warm, hospitable, fun. My daughter and she were "a match" from the start. Can't think where else you'd get a hug from the hostess on your way out the door as you're leaving? The place... more

We arrived at the townhouse at about half 11 on the Sunday. Aileen greeted us at the door and showed it straight to our room - and what a room it was. We stayed in the Caledonian Room which was amazing with its huge fireplace and comfortable sofa. The bathroom was equally as impressive. Everything was really clean. Aileen talked... more

What can we say - the best B&B we've stayed in. Aileen is a fabulous host with a wicked sense of humour, and makes you feel very welcome. The B&B is perfectly located, with the centre of town and all the attractions in easy walking distance. Each themed room is spotlessly clean, with great attention to detail regarding all the... more
