“Gerald's Place = Best B&B in Edinburgh”

This was our first time in Edinburgh and we were certainly wanted to find a great place to stay. Gerald’s Place was perfect! As we arrived to Gerald’s, he welcomed us as if we were family. The place is located in the New Town of the city in a nice neighborhood with a park view in front. The area is... More

“A most gracious host”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

Gerald is a most gracious and welcoming host. The room was chock full of every amenity. But it was Gerald's warmth and generosity that overwhelmed us. We felt more like we were staying with a long-time friend than just being in a bed and breakfast.

“Fabulous B&B”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Gerald's Place is located in a fantastic location (translation: convenient, yet not right in the heart of the hustle and bustle). And his breakfast each morning cannot be beat! In fact, it's hard to escape without a proper breakfast. We tried and he insisted on packing us to-go packs. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and come with every possible amenity... More

WONDERFUL TIME Margaret - thank you for your kind comments - for most guests, good sleep is the goal : the mattresses at geraldsplace are the very best quality [they are labelled 'Vi-Spring Supreme'] - lots of guests appreciate them, not least tall people : you will be warmly welcomed when you stay again - next anniversary perhaps?

“Like family”

We spent 3 nights at Gerald's Place in mid-April '13 before heading off to the highlands. It is quiet, conveniently located and full of paintings, art pieces and family memorabilia of the owner, Gerald. He is warm, welcoming and so personable one would like to just stay on indefinitely. Hoping to return, we would not consider staying anywhere else.

WONDERFUL TIME Tom it was a pleasure to welcome you here : you felt like family, and you will be warmly welcomed next visit : art in Edinburgh is special whether at The National Gallery, The National Portraight Gallery or the many other public and private Galleries; almost all are within a few minutes walk from geraldsplace : be sure...

WELCOMING thank you Anne for so many thoughtful comments : it is true that many guests appreciate the supreme quality of the beds - not least tall people [the mattress is proud of the base rather than enclosed in the base, and this allows that extra freedom of 'stretch'] : the location here is another huge plus - so close...
