had a great stay at capital house! the family room was super spacious, and cleanliness was top-notch. it’s just a quick bus ride to the city, or you can take an affordable uber, especially if you're in a group. nearby convenience stores are only about a 10-minute walk away.

Spacious family room with a lovely garden view. Definitely a lot of stairs, which might be tough for some. Convenient bus stop outside. Inconsistent comfort with beds. pillows need replacing.

cozy hot tub

quaint garden seating

dated bathroom

We had a lovely time here, especially enjoying the cozy hot tub and the quaint garden seating which made for perfect relaxation spots. The room was comfortable, but the bathroom could use a bit of sprucing up to match the charm of the rest of the place. I'd recommend taking some time to unwind in the garden if you visit! 😊

Charming Stay with Wonderful Hosts

Our stay was delightful! The location was peaceful, and we loved having a garden view with Arthur's Seat in the background. The daily tray with tea, coffee, and biscuits was a lovely touch, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and always available to assist. the stairs might be an issue for those with mobility concerns.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Capital House. The cheerful and warm décor throughout created an inviting atmosphere. The location was delightfully quiet, making it easy for me to navigate the lovely neighborhood, especially for walks.

Steep stairs could be a challenge for seniors.

We had a lovely stay at Capital House! The guest house is on a quiet street, easily reachable by bus from the train station, and close to many nice and affordable eating spots. Our room was spacious with a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom, complete with a good shower. The lovely garden view featured Arthur's Seat in the background. Our hosts were friendly and attentive, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout our stay.

Stairs can be a challenge for some.

An appropriate option for shopping in Edinburgh with very good value for money. Limited parking but the owner provided tips for free local options. Keep in mind that there are stairs, no elevator available.
