About Capital Guest House
Edinburgh's Mayfield Road area, on the south side of the city, is the setting for Capital Guest House, a small eight-room property with a garden and an easy-going, homely feel. It sits within reach of Edinburgh Zoo, and Edinburgh Waverley station is about two miles away, making it a workable base for exploring the city centre without staying right in the thick of it.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. Breakfast is included, free WiFi runs throughout, and there's luggage storage for guests arriving early or leaving late. The garden offers a quiet spot to sit outside of the main sightseeing routes.
Pubs, bars and restaurants can be found nearby, along with wider options for walking and cycling in the area, and golf, fishing and watersports within reach for those wanting to venture further out. It suits visitors after a straightforward, comfortable stay close to one of the city's well-known attractions rather than a central address.

What guests say
They room was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. A good place to rest when you are out and about town and only in to sleep and start over again. The owners were great - very hospitable, welcoming, and kind. The location was great. They are right in front of a bus stop and more 5-8 minutes walk away. They are also close to a variety of restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores. They are pretty close to the city centre too. We had a private bathroom outside of our bedroom. It did not appear that any other guests used it but I would have been more comfortable with it having a lock and key, just in case. Nonetheless, I highly recommend staying here.

The best guest house I've EVER booked, not only in the UK (and I say it as a frequent traveler)! On the first day I lost my phone in a cab and the staff was able to find it without any information about the ride! In just 20 minutes the phone was at my door. They care and it shows! The rooms are amazing as well as elegant and clean. The position is outstanding, it's just 20 minutes from the city center and it's in a peaceful neighborhood. We'll absolutely come back!

I stayed at the Capital Guest several years ago and found it to be value for money, cosy and welcoming. The owners too were very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely stay there again. ❤️
