B&B's in Edinburgh

[baldrick]

Me and my bf are going to be in Edinburgh over the Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May and we need somewhere to stay!

Any ideas/recommendations? Haven't even started looking yet and I should have sorted this out ages ago

We used to stay at a place near a YH (Bruntsfield), I will ask pogofish, his memory is better than mine

I would book asap tbh, and look at the TI for info. Once you've got a shortlist I could have a look at give you opinions as to ease of getting there etc

I am googling just now. We used to stay at a place at the far end of Hartingdon Place, the whole street seemd to be B&Bs. You could try phoning the TI and asking for one there

Thanks.

yeah, i'm not finding much that ain't really expensive

Did you try here?

And what is really expensive? Did you know the Who are playing Murrayfield
on the Saturday? That + BH may be affecting the prices.

Right, I have phoned these for you I guessed you wanted Friday and Saturday nights.
MW Guesthouse has a room £40 per person per night
Blossom Guesthouse £30 " " " " , shared loo(on landing)
Minto House £25 " " " "

The Blossom website was weird, took you somewhere else. There are others of course but I got fed up after a few calls, sorry. The StValery is full btw.

They have 'private' rooms with en-suit etc for around 25 notes.

There's a new YH opened up at the top of Leith Walk, so very central for city centre. It looks very smart from the outside.

Possibly Viewforth Gardens? Or maybe Hartington Place/Gdns?
