Fabulous!
The hotel is beautifully presented inside and outside - candles and soft music greet you on arrival in the evening. The rooms are beautiful, with modern and spacious bathrooms and every need catered for. The breakfast is delicious and our hosts served all the drinks whilst we enjoyed the freshly prepared food in the large modern kitchen with amazing views. Cannot recommend highly enough to anyone visiting Edinburgh and looking for high end accommodation.

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

What a wonderful stay! We absolutely loved our time in Edinburgh and Crescent House was the perfect base for us. Paul & Michael were outstanding hosts who blew us away with their generous hospitality. They proved to be a wealth of local knowledge and were able to help us make the most of our limited time. Crescent House is a beautiful, relaxing place to stay. Thank you so much.

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 !

Can't imagine a nicer place to stay.
We had a lovely time at Crescent House. Our hosts were so attentive to every detail. The house is gorgeous and spotless, and the breakfast was generous and delicious.

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.
Riikka, 3-night trip

Paul and Michael were amazing hosts. They were super helpful and accommodating. During our stay we weren’t going to be able to make breakfast one of the days and they made us a to-go packed breakfast which really shows how they go above and beyond. The rooms were also super nice and the breakfast was good and fresh.
Robert, 3-night trip

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!!

Unique luxury with unparalleled hospitality
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.

A beautiful Georgian property owned by a fantastic couple. Paul and Michael make you feel very welcome and are very gracious hosts with nothing being too much trouble. The rooms, as well as the rest of the house, are immaculate and I would highly recommend Crescent House.

Paul and Michael are fantastic hosts! Wonderful conversation, readily available, and very gracious about sharing some local recommendations. The venue is a beautiful, historic townhouse and easily walkable to downtown Edinburgh. Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again!

Fabulous stay at beautiful Georgian house
Had the best experience at this place. Gorgeous decor of the house really elevates the whole stay, and the Buddha breakfast is such a nice treat to start off the day. Paul and Mike run this place so well and took such great care of us. Giving us personalized recommendations and make me and my mum’s stay here the highlight of her 3 weeks trip. Would definitely highly recommend and I look forward to staying here again soon!

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.

Amazing stay in Edinburgh
I could not ask for a better place to stay in Edinburgh; amazing place, design and art everywhere, walking distance of all the places i went in my 7 day trip. Paul and Michael are the best hosts looking forward to give you the best experience at every moment. Definitely would stay again there when i return to Edinburgh

Fabulous place to stay !!
An amazing stay. Absolutely beautiful house with a wonderful interior decor and welcoming atmosphere. You instantly feel at home and relaxed. Michael and Paul are so hospitable and friendly, they ensure all your needs are met and create such a personal touch. Breakfast is delicious and again they ensure any dietary requirements are catered for so you have everything you need. We had a short stay but it was perfect could not have asked for anything more except to stay longer !! The house is also in perfect walking distance to city centre and botanical gardens plus other facilities that you need when in Edinburgh.

Would thoroughly recommend a stay at Crescent House. It is located a short walk from town with plenty of excellent restaurant options nearby. Crescent House is beautifully done up (our room felt luxurious) and Paul and Mike’s friendly and kind hospitality made us feel at home. Nothing was too much trouble and there were numerous touches that made our stay at Crescent House very comfortable and extra special (e.g. great recommendations, generous and plentiful breakfast options, etc). We look forward to our next stay.
Rebecca, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

In a word, Crescent House was splendid. The place is impeccable, very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and the owners are great hosts. We spent five days during the Edinburgh Festivals and it felt like an oasis away from the crowds, but close enough to take a good walk into the action of the city. Highly recomended. We are experienced travelers and I can tell you this place is really a gem.

Beautiful and Romantic Suite Edinburgh
My partner and I stayed in the Heriot Suite at Cresent House for two nights and have only one negative to announce...we couldn't stay longer 😭. Michael and Paul were excellent hosts accomodating to our changing plans and just generally amazing to meet. They have created a gorgeous, vibrant and tranquil area that must be seen to be appreciated. Breakfast was lovely the suite was divine and the overall ambiance was incredible. Thank you Paul and Michael, we look forward to the next time we get to stay with you again ☺️

What did we like? Everything. Genuinely hospitable hosts, who had put considerable thought and effort into every detail, to ensure their guests have the best possible experience of Edinburgh. Struggling for superlatives. What didn't we like? Having to leave. Excellent - book it now!

We stayed for my friends birthday, who has family in Edinburgh. This was my first time and Paul was great on entry to the guesthouse, orientating us to the house and facillities, signposting locations for us on arrival, and getting the most from our trip and what we wanted out of it. Mike was also great and very accommodating, it was lovely to see all the artwork he has created, and get to know them both. Bhudda breakfast was amazing! Beautiful room, lots of space to utilise, great facilities with clear instructions for use. Nothing was too much trouble, and we were made to feel very comfortable. Would certainly recommend and stay again
Kimberley, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our first stay in a guest house and it far exceeded our expectations. The house is spectacular. The interior design is exceptional. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable for our whole visit. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts Paul and Mike. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast that was provided was delicious with so many choices and all very high quality. Paul and Mike are a wealth of knowledge about dining in and around the area, and gave us much guidance about how to get where we needed to go. They also provided us with help on sightseeing and local knowledge and were always happy just to chat with us in general and showed interest in who we were and what we were up to. Mikes art also gave us much to look at while wandering about the house. Not much around Edinburgh is out of walking distance. We will not hesitate to come back to enjoy their amazing hospitality again when we visit Edinburgh next. Thank you. Mark and Heather
