Jimmy was very helpful and attentive, even welcoming me personally on check-in at about 10 p.m. (I thought I would have to do a self check-in after 7 p.m., which would have been fine, but he came to the door instead.) The breakfasts were excellent and the room was clean and comfortable.

The place of accomodation was handy for everywhere with regular bus service. The service in gueat house was exceptional, accomodating requests, that some places wouldn't. Breakfast was lovely and there was loads of options for everyones taste and dietary needs. And the building was really nice and clean, only missing maybe a luggage rack in the room. I found it good that they were into recycling and being energy efficient, but the recycling of guests rubbish I found bit invasive. I would much rather separate my own rubbish, if there is a bin with 3-4 slots and one can separate ones own (done this in hotels before) and not having somebody go through ones waste afterwards.

Glenalmond house er et kjemeekoselig hus med nydelige verter. Jimmy og Sue gjorde alt for at vi skulle ha et flott opphold, virkelig nydelige mennesker. Man velger blant 7 ulike frokostmenyer, her er noe for enhver smak! Glenalmond house ligger en fin gåtur unna sentrum (25 min), men det går busser for de som vil bruke det rett utenfor huset. Vi storkoste oss her under vårt opphold i Edinburgh!

I’ve stayed at Glenalmond twice and found a great welcome on both occasions. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and well equipped and the breakfasts perfectly cooked. The location is a half hour walk to the centre but Newington up the road has plenty of restaurants and shops. My first choice now for a visit to Edinburgh
