Excellent in every way.

Wonderful accommodation. Made to feel very welcome. Cannot recommend too highly. Quiet location in New Town and very convenient for all Edinburgh attractions.
Catherine, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at Crescent House and from the moment we arrived we were greeted with warm smiles and beautiful decor. Every room is spectacular with art from one of the owners, Micheal. The warm hospitality and communications from Paul and Micheal made us feel at home. Breakfast is a feast and lovingly prepared. The house is walking distance to the main attractions of Edinbough. We highly recommend the Crescent House to anyone seeking a beautiful, comfortable, luxurious home for your next stay.

Exquisite Georgian Home on Crescent with Park

All other reviews have lovingly described how special it is to stay at the gorgeous Crescent House with Paul and Michael. I absolutely agree and if you’re lucky enough to find an available room book it now! The opportunity to spend time with our hosts and share their Georgian home for a few days certainly elevated our experience in Edinburgh. I thank them for shaping these vacation memories that we’ll hold on to for a long while.

Five Stars All The Way!!!

What a truly amazing stay at Crescent House! Paul and Michael knocked me out with their extraordinary hospitality, sumptuous breakfasts, and their fabulous art galleries. I could not have found a more spectacular setting, or more generous hosts. I will definitely return to my new home base in Edinburgh!

Gorgeous Georgian House

Great quiet location, but still very convenient to attractions. Immaculately restored Georgian house. Tastefully decorated with one of the owner's artwork. Michael and Paul are wonderful hosts, and recommend great local pubs and restaurants to visit. When we return to Edinburgh, we definitely plan to stay here again.
Frank, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a gem of a Bed and Breakfast that I am so happy to have discovered. It is run by two amazing gentlemen that pay so much attention to detail, it was hard to keep track of all they did for us. My adult son and I spent three days in Edinburgh and we stayed with Mike and Paul in their B&B. We had a very comfortable room, a bathroom attached and easy access to a shower downstairs as well. The house is amazing. It’s spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated, mostly with Mike’s art. The breakfast is tailored, huge and very good. We had a lot of great conversations with the hosts and also got to meet some of their friends. Everyone is so friendly and thoughtful, I feel like making another trip to Edinburgh and staying at Crescent House soon.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Crescent House and the hosts were most hospitable. We would highly recommend a visit.
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

From the moment I entered the house, I felt a deep sense of comfort and warmth. Truly felt welcoming, lived-in home rather than just accommodation. What stood out immediately was the exceptional cleanliness and the thoughtful interior design, which transports you into a different space filled with creativity and integrity. Every corner tells a story. If I were to speak about my room, it truly offered a sense of comfort, ease, and gentle indulgence — exactly the kind of rest and care I had intended to experience when I took this break. The room felt calm, nurturing, and thoughtfully prepared, making it a perfect personal holiday. I personally value calmness, relaxation, and creativity in design, and this place reflected all of that beautifully. Every detail felt intentional, authentic, and harmonious. Sitting in the kitchen late at night, enjoying a cup of tea, was genuinely enough to make the experience feel complete and grounding. The breakfast experience was particularly special, as it truly reflected the spirit and personality of Paul and Michael. It was prepared with care, integrity, and attention to detail, making it feel meaningful I appreciate change and enjoy experiences that feel different from the standard hotel environment, while still maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, and hospitality. This stay offered exactly that balance, making it a truly unique and memorable experience.

Boutique Hotel / Art Gallery

This boutique hotel has to be seen to be believed, a mix of Georgian Hotel and an Art Gallary. Paul and Michael will do anything to help you have a fabulous stay. Great location too. Would completely recommend !

I can warmly recommend Cresent House. Rooms are beautiful, breakfast is delicious and the owners very friendly and helpful. Location is good as it is close to city center as well as landscape sights like the gardens. We sure enjoyed.

The property, “The Crescent Hotel” was very inviting. I especially liked the art and the furnishings. Additionally, the location was good because it allowed visitors to explore a more trendy area in Edinburgh - lots of restaurants, shops, and galleries. The hosts were very helpful and gracious!!

Excellent stay in Edinburgh

Excellent luxurious accommodation, centrally located with convenient access to city facilities. The breakfasts were superb and Paul and Michael were attentive hosts. The stay was highly enjoyable and the personal service provided was in marked contrast to the rather anonymous hotels often found. Highly recommended and we shall not hesitate to make a return visit.

We had the best three night stay at Crescent House thanks to the superb hosts Paul and Michael. The breakfasts were delicious, the rooms were comfortable, stylish and spotless and the many personal recommendations really made our trip special. This accommodation is truly unique thanks to the incredible art and the welcoming ambience. If you are going to Edinburgh, stay here.
