We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming bed and breakfast! Elaine was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with fantastic recommendations for local spots and activities. The location was perfect – tucked away in a quiet area yet just a 10-15 minute walk to the city center, surrounded by plenty of great cafes. Our room was cozy, quiet, and had such unique character, making us feel right at home. One of our favorite touches was the homemade granola bars, which were absolutely delicious! This is a small, offbeat place with so much charm – we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had a truly outstanding experience at Two Hillside Crescent. It looked beautiful online and we couldn't really believe there was availability at a very reasonably price when we were coming to Edinburgh.This is in a very central location, a short walk from Edinburgh highlights like the start of the Arthur's Seat walk and Topping's bookshop.The rooms are absurdly tall, and very calmly decorated. Our room was stocked with a Nespresso machine and pods as well as Tunnock's teacakes and wafer biscuits. The bathroom was huge, with a large shower and freestanding bath tub.Elaine is a wonderful host, she made us feel most welcome and made an effort to make us feel at home in Edinburgh.We really enjoyed our stay here and very much enjoyed just hanging out in the room.Hugely recommend this absolute gem of a hotel
