This property was all about the details - every part of the experience had been thought through. Along with a beautiful guest lounge with high speed internet and an honesty bar for alcohol, our room was very clean and intentional. The shower was great, the selection of bath soaps were remarkable, and the breakfast that was provided was beyond other places. The owners were a cute couple, and if it had been possible we would have extended our stay at 23 Mayfield for a few more nights. The internet was reliable and fast, as well as the decorations of the room being top tier!
CanadaThis was a beautiful property, with gorgeous fittings and decor. The bed was really comfortable too. The owners were lovely and welcoming and the breakfast was possibly the best I’ve ever had in a hotel. being from Edinburgh originally and having recently moved west I know the area well. it’s in a great part of the southside, fifteen to twenty minutes walk to the old town and Waverley Station but nicely quiet and well served by busses. next time we have to stay over in Edinburgh it will be here for sure.

NetherlandsWe spent a lovely 2 days in Edinburgh. 23 Mayfield is a wonderful guest house. From the moment we arrived until we left we were made to feel very welcome by Ross and Kathleen. The location is brilliant, the breakfast was excellent and the room we had was absolutely outstanding. I cannot recommend this boutique guest house enough, we shall be returning!!
United KingdomBeautifully decorated. Fantastic lounge and honesty bar. Breakfast was superb. Great location, hosts and recommendations.
AustraliaFaultless. Warm welcome from the hosts who were more than happy for us to arrive at 9am and leave the car to get the bus into the city centre for the day. Grounds and rooms spotless and smelled lovely with reed diffusers. Rooms all decorated traditionally to a very high standard. Breakfast was better than we have had from any 5* luxury hotel. Good quality bedding, towels and toiletries. Great location with several buses into the city centre from outside hotel. Cant wait to return.
United KingdomGood location, buses every few minutes to centrum 50m away from hotel. Clean, cosy, great place in general. Beautiful Victorian building and nice interior.
Finlandvery welcoming and breakfast was excellent. The team also accommodated my gluten intolerance and I felt like they went out of their way to provide for me.
