A-Haven Townhouse Hotel

Very nice place to stay thanks to David who made us feel welcome and all the staff who greeted us in a morning at breafast the rooms are old but very comfy and clean the staff are amazing and do every thing for you the Scottish breakfast was very nice has we had never had one before and would recommend this well done to all the staff

A very nice little hotel. Good breakfest and nice staff. A little bit off center so calm and quiet. Clean room with a good bed. Near bus-stops so easy to get around. And not so far out then it`s possible to walk in to town. I can recomend a stay as it`s well worth the money

This guesthouse is a hidden treasure for travellers who want to experience Edinburgh at an affordable rate, and enjoy the charm of a classic Victorian building with beautiful period features. David and his team could not have been more gracious or welcoming, and were so attentive to our comfort during our stay. From advice on where to catch the bus into town to suggestions for a walk to the local harbour, they truly helped to make our stay a relaxing and enjoyable experience. They noted the reason for our visit (a concert at the castle) and were kind enough to show an interest in how it had gone the next day. The Scottish breakfast, with locally sourced ingredients, was absolutely delicious! The tea and toast just kept coming and we didn’t need to eat lunch on either of the two days we stayed. Room 5 has a wonderful bay window with a view onto the front garden, and is a really lovely place to sit with a cup of tea after a long day. The bus into the city centre only costs £5 for a day ticket or £2 for a single trip and takes about 15-20 minutes. It’s ideal if you want easy access in a quieter location, with a regular service every 15 minutes. We were truly sorry to have to leave and are now busy making plans to return :) Thank you David. You and your team are lovely people and a credit to the hotelier business.

Another fabulous 2-night stay at the cosy and friendly A Haven Townhouse - we were in one of the cute “cottages” in the grounds, super easy access, especially when returning in the evening. Usual fabulous breakfast with Ian’s famous poached eggs cooked to perfection - I honestly don’t know how he does it! Thank you again to David, Ian, Steven & Jane for your warm hospitality - see you on Nera one day…

David was the most delightful host one could wish for. Too bad we didn't have more time to talk with him. The bed was ultra comfortable; the location was perfect for our itinerary; and the breakfast was delicious, although way more than a person could eat! I would stay here again if ever we return to Edinburgh.
