Carmichael B&B — Hotel in City of Edinburgh

The b&b is located on a lovely, quiet street away from the hustle & bustle of the city centre. It’s a beautiful b&b and it has the real feel of being at home rather than a hotel, it was comfortable and cosy. The hotel is situated about 20/30 minutes walk from Edinburgh city centre but it’s a nice walk. Mike and Caroline were so welcoming and friendly, making sure we were okay every time we saw them. Mike was very helpful about the area too, where we could get the buses from if needed and asks recommended an Indian restaurant nearby (Ronaq) and it was a delicious! There are buses nearby if you don’t fancy the walk which are fairly cheap for an adult single. Our room was perfect for our three night stay with everything that we needed. The bed was so so comfy! It was absolutely perfect to collapse into in after a long day visiting the attractions. The bathroom had a spacious shower with big bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel available to use. Big jars of coffee & tea were provided in the room too, not the little sachets you can sometimes get, so it was a bonus if you drink a lot of tea/coffee. The breakfast was spot on every morning, I really looked forward to it. It was a traditional Scottish breakfast (sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, tomato, mushrooms & a potato scone). There were a selection of cereals, freshly made coffee, tea, orange juice, fresh fruit and yoghurt to choose from too. I can’t recommend Carmichael enough, it was perfect for our entire stay!

We stayed in a very clean and comfortable but cluttered triple room for 3 nights for the Edinburgh Tattoo and Fringe. We were greeted warmly and made very welcome. However, we were pleased that we were only a couple as the room would have been very crowded with 3 persons. The small en suite bathroom was fitted with a macerator which made loud grinding and pumping noises when the toilet was flushed or one showered or washed. However, other rooms had similar macertors, which were also noisy when used - frequently at irregular intervals during the night. These noises disturbed us each night, despite us using earplugs after the first disturbed night. The soundproofing in this residence was not good as were were disurbed on 2 of the 3 nights we stayed by the persons upstairs moving around. Breakfast were generous and hot, but served at a large communal table.||||Sadly, this accommodation was spoilt by us both having our sleep disturbed each night - hence only a 3...

EXCELLENT. Our stay was simply wonderful and memorable. Three older teens and their 72-yr. old Nana on a celebration trip from Oklahoma school graduations. EACH grand-teen said that CARMICHAEL B&B was their favorite, most confortable 'stay' (even more than a haunted pub inn near Windsor and 5 others). Michael and Caroline are approachable, helpful and so personable. BREAKFAST IS AWESOME and we sure missed that for the rest of our stays. Location is unbelievable for the feel of 'away from the city' while actually a delightful walk or short drive into Edinburgh. Value for price is VERY reasonable. We stayed in the very roomy family room overlooking the garden. Cannot recommend Carmichael B&B more highly. A...
