Guesthouse Caravel Guest House

30 London Street Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH3 6NA, United Kingdom –

The room was spacious and very silent rooms. The hotel staff was very helpful in 5 minutes they replaced the tv with a working one. Room was well heated.

Derya, Turkey

Peaceful and location is very close to the city center

Muntasir, United Kingdom

It was a secure, warm place to bathe and sleep. The young man who checked us in was very cheerful and wanted to help us. He parked our monstrously large rental car for us safely and carried our luggage to our room downstairs. He gets A for effort.

Cynthia, United States of America

the location was excellent. It was so central that I didn't need to take public transport. I was able to walk to the station and Edinburgh playhouse. The room was cosy, tea was available in the room, the shared bathroom was also clean and in good condition whenever I went to use it, and the room had a sink and tv.

Alanna, United Kingdom

This was a great place to spend the night while traveling with family. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was big enough to accommodate two adults and four children. The walk from London St to the city centre via Broughton Street was really lovely. Enjoyed the (less touristy and more interesting) shops and cafes in that area.

Chyela, United States of America

Nice garden view and light from window. Great that they dry the towels on the clothesline outside. Saves energy. Hair dryer worked well. Room was spacious. restaurants nearby.

Suanne, United States of America

I selected this facility based on location to the airport for an early morning flight out. Another factor was that it was reasonably priced. There was somewhat of a mix up as to our booking, but not a "bad" one. There were only two of us in our party but we were booked into a room with 5 single beds - accordingly, there was plenty of room for us to organize our suitcases and pack breakables for our flight. The antique, cast iron beds were fairly comfortable. The room showed charm from an age gone by - an old mantle and huge windows, but it also looked a bit worn. This accommodation is a cluster of several buildings that share one "main" office and dining area, the location seemed safe and there were places to eat within walking distance.

Cjburly, United States of America

Friendly owner. Perfect location for our purposes. Very affordable. Beautiful back garden. Very clean. Breakfast.

George Greece

Located in the center of picturesque Edinburgh, this Georgian house is less than 15 minutes’ walk from the popular shops of Prince’s Street. It features free Wi-Fi available throughout.

The boutique rooms are elegant in style, and each has its own bathroom with free toiletries provided. All rooms feature a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and Scottish shortbread.

Edinburgh Castle, which sits high over the old city, can be reached in 20 minutes on foot. The striking Royal Mile is also a short walk away, and Edinburgh Waverly Rail Station is a 10-minute stroll from the building.

This is our guests' favorite part of Edinburgh, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.2 for a two-person trip.

Accessible via airport - via tram and a little bit of walking. Walking distance to Main Street. Owner was hospitable, and helped to print boarding passes for our next travel. Heater was powerful, warm night rest.

Beds/mattresses weren’t as comfortable as we had thought they would be, but that could be a personal taste thing.
Loved the location, within walking distance to the main shopping area and the castle - even the kids didn’t complain Staff were outstanding- Patrick was fantastic and went out of his way to accommodate us. Excellent customer service. Perfect for what our family of 4 needed, teen & tween both enjoyed stayed

The bed needed a new mattress as is sloped to one side. Light shone through the window from the hallway into the room, so got very little sleep.
The room was clean and had one sink. Room was quiet and it was easy access to the city centre.
