Quiet and convenient location, Freddie and Fiona were really friendly

Jasmin United Kingdom

The location was amazing, right in the center but on a quiet street so we didn't have to deal with street noise.

Celia United States of America

It was a very nice small hotel, we should have stayed here longer than in London. There was a menu for breakfast. I definitely recommend this hotel. Close to Waverly station and the Royal Mile, we walked to the hotel with our luggage, then we took a taxi to the station, only 5 pounds, since we were so happy that we were there, we gave the driver 10 pounds. We fell in love with Edinburgh. People are especially nice.

Edpar United States of America

The location is perfect, the room is cosy and well equipped. The host is very cheerful, singing while preparing your breakfast! We would choose this place again.

Martin Slovakia

The Smaller Hotel, family orientated and personal attention to detail. Not the usual 'Herd them in' and forget about you. A warm friendly approach, was further enhanced by total cleanliness and the best breakfast in many a long year. Perfection.

Norman United Kingdom

Everything was perfect! From the room,location and the fantastic owners Fiona and Freddie! We were welcomed and treated so very kindly. The breakfast was by far the best we had in our entire stay in the UK! Fiona recommended "Barony Tavern" to eat and she was spot on! The food was delicious. We checked out and traveled to Stirling for the day. Fiona allowed us to leave our suitcases behind so we didn't have to drag them with us or lock them at the train station. Our whole party (5 adults) highly recommend the Broughton Hotel! Thanks!

Thomas United States of America

Easy walking distance to major tourist attractions plus tram and rail stations. Excellent hosts. Great breakfast, pipping hot with excellent coffee!

E Canada

Our second stay! Our room was clean and comfy, with a lovely neighborhood view. Homemade breakfast (included) was top notch, with plenty of food and several choices (we had the waffles and bacon). Very walkable location to city center attractions. Fiona is a kind and welcoming host, letting us store our suitcases on our final day in Edinburgh, which allowed us to take one last walking tour. Would absolutely stay again at the Broughton; many thanks!

Kathleen United States of America

Fiona was an amazing host, so welcoming and very helpful. Both Freddie and Fiona put on an amazing breakfast, you won’t walk away hungry!!

Sara Canada

Close to tourist sites, parking available, super helpful and friendly owners, clean and comfortable rooms, private bathroom, quiet, restaurants nearby.
