Detailed Reviews
We visited Edinburgh for the first time in December 2019. Our original plan was to go to Paris but because of a transportation strike we had to change plans last minute and I booked Casa Hamilton based on the location and the excellent reviews from Booking and Trip Advisor. I really didn't know what to expect since I'm not really used to staying at B&B's, however I trusted the reviews and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed at all. It was an amazing experience. From the minute we came in, the owner, Will made us feel very comfortable. The house is tastefully decorated with an eclectic and very creative type of decor. The room with the roman tub we stayed at was very quaint and spacious with a beautiful view of the nearby church. The bathroom was modern and also very spacious. Will was very pleasant from the first minute he greeted us. He took the time to give us directions to the city center which was very close and he also pointed out several recommendations. Next morning Will presented us with a delicious homemade breakfast and as the days went by we really felt like we were visiting a friend rather than staying at a hotel/B&B. Will was always very friendly and catering. I highly recommend this B&B if you are staying in Edinburgh! You will feel very comfortable and the walk to the city center through the meadows is absolutely beautiful. You can go either way, but take the meadows in the early morning hours for a beautiful walk.

I had an amazing stay at Casa Hamilton. Will, does an amazing job at making you feel at home at Casa Hamilton. It was evident to myself as a guest at Casa Hamilton that Will takes great pride in ensuring that all of his guests have an enjoyable stay. Will was always open to any questions and requests and was very helpful in answering any questions about Edinburgh in general.
The breakfast was exceptional, all of it fresh and cooked right in front of you. The beds, shower and bathroom were always clean. I have zero complaints as a guest at Casa Hamilton.
I could not have asked for a better host to have on my first trip to Scotland. Thank you for all of your hospitality Will I greatly appreciate it.

We had a 3 night stay at Casa Hamilton over Hogmanay. What a wonderful find! From the minute we arrived, we were made to feel welcome by Will, our lovely host. By the time we left, we felt like we had been staying with a friend, so much nicer than an anonymous hotel. The rooms were spotless, with very comfortable beds. Breakfast was delicious, with some interesting touches. The location is fabulous, just a short walk to the centre of Edinburgh, but very quiet as it is located on a side street. If we visit Edinburgh in the future, we would definitely stay here again.

I had a wonderful experience staying at this place and I highly recommend it! The hosts, Will and Ve, were exceptional in their customer service. Ve went above and beyond in accommodating a last-minute cancellation and even provided a full refund, which was not required according to the terms and conditions. I cannot thank them enough and would definitely stay here in the future!

Had the most amazing stay with Will & Ve. The bunk bed was comfy and the family so very friendly. Also, so close to the city center and supermarkets; it’s an ideal location to get anywhere via walking or busses. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Edinburgh!

Ve and Will were absolutely lovely to us during our stay in Edinburgh. It's nice to find somewhere so welcoming when you are away from home - we really felt part of their family! Bedrooms are well equipped, and the newly-renovated bathrooms are very stylish. Will definitely stay here next time, and will recommend to friends!

The Casa Hamilton, a home for everyone, wether you travel in company or on your own. The host is very friendly and tells you some secret spots about Edinburgh, the bed is very comfortable and everything is cozy and clean. In the morning you get a fresh delicious breakfast. Especially the banana - carrots pancakes are very good:)
I will definitely stay at the Casa Hamilton the next time I am in Edinburgh.
