Jimmy & Fiona were the perfect hosts, catering to our every need. Very clean room, great fresh cooked food, comfy bed. Easy to get a bus to the town from. Lovely table cloths, solid furniture and very homely surroundings. Would stay here again for sure.

Glenalmond House is a special place. The beautiful Victorian style resembles the charm of the city. Jimmy and Fiona are welcoming hosts who make you feel right at home. They provide thorough communication and information to help you prepare for your visit. Jimmy is also a great cook! The location is within walking distance of all the attractions and things to do in downtown Edinburgh. It is good value for a bed and breakfast in a great location.

Wow. Simply wow. We were absolutely delighted. Fiona is a wonderful host, the room immaculate, the food delicious. Jimmy was kind and personable is the bet of ways. I can not recommend this B and B enough. Our room had everything needed and more. We look forward to coming back again!

We were in room 4 or 5 -- a lovely, quiet room with comfortable furnishings and a private patio. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the 30 min walk to Old Town, but there's a bus stop right across the street. Lots of restaurants on the way into town (Southpour was my favorite, but also enjoyed Rigatoni's for Italian and Old Bell Inn for basic pub food and fun environment). Excellent breakfast.

Best breakfasts in Scotland! Jimmy and Fiona are fabulous. The room was lovely and comfortable. Beautiful facility. Convenient access to buses going downtown. Our interactions with Jimmy and Fiona made our stay special. We felt welcomed to Scotland and well cared for. We will always cherish the memories of our stay in the Glenalmond House!

It's in a good location on the bus route making it easy to get into town. The room was on the small side. Jimmy was helpful and attentive. Breakfasts were good, with a nice choice of foods. USB ports for charging were helpful.
