You can't control the world's chaos, but you can find a harbor of peace and beauty in the midst of it all.  Comfortable and cozy accommodations off the main thoroughfare make an excellent base of operations for enjoying the city.  The Fernandez family both own and operate the hotel, and they work diligently to ensure your stay is both pleasant and healthful - I especially love the breakfast!

The location is perfect: on a short low-traffic street, a beautiful green mini-park with walking paths and plenty of old, majestic trees only 100 metres away.  Immediately beyond you can walk to the summit of Calton Hill for superb views of the city; walk a mile and you're at Holyrood Park (near the Abbey and palace), and another mile will get you to the top of Arthur's Seat where you can see far beyond the city's confines in all directions.

Waverley Railway Station is within a half mile, as is the bus station and the terminus of the tram to Edinburgh Airport.  A mile to the northwest is the Royal Botanic Garden, and to the southwest the National Museum of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery, and Edinburgh Castle.  If shopping is your leisure activity, you'll find it along Princes Street and the Royal Mile.

After a full day of exploring it's a pleasure to return to the comfort, convenience, and beauty of this delightful home away from home.

A harbor of peace in challenging times

Nice and quiet, very comfy beds, good facilities and great breakfast. Greg, who runs Lyncliff, is very welcoming. Would recommend also because it is very central. It does not have en-suite but this is common amongst the Georgian cottage b&bs in Edinburgh.

Good family-run b&b

We've stayed at the Lyncliffe twice now for our yearly visit to Edinburgh, and on both occasions the experience has been wonderful. The location is spot on, a very short walk away from Waverley, but also out of the hustle and bustle of the noisy centre. My favourite thing about the hotel is its homeliness - truly a home away from home. It's obvious the rooms have been made up with care, the bathrooms maybe a bit small but more importantly nice and clean, and the breakfasts are fab; an excellent selection of hot and cold options to prepare you for a full day of exploring Edinburgh. Already looking forward to next summer's visit!

So glad we found this place!

We only stayed for 3 nights, but the Fernandez family couldn't have been more welcoming. They go above and beyond with their hospitality and made it feel very home-like. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable and breakfast was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend staying here, and we’ll definitely be going back!

Perfect Stay

We found ourselves in Edinburgh at 2 a.m. without place to sleep (NO thanks, Tony Asga-Aisha apartment!). Greg from Lyncliff Hotel was the only one in a radius of few miles to help us. 

The staff are helpful and friendly, breakfast delicious, decorations interesting. The room was decidedly on a small side, but we didn't care.

This hotel saved us from sleeping in the streets when our booked accomodation found

After reading a few other reviews, I feel obliged to write my own as I believe an unfair image is being drawn. I have stayed here several times over the years and I am yet to find a hotel more welcoming. The Fernandez family work exceptionally hard in making sure that every guest feels welcome, included and safe throughout their stay in Edinburgh.

Albeit, this hotel is in need of some modern refurbishments, however, if you expect to find a 5 star hotel, in the city centre, on a budget, during the Fringe Festival you will be sorely disappointed, and perhaps the standard hotel chain is for you. Alternatively, if you prefer to stay at a hotel with character, which also values itself on providing an authentic and unique Scottish/Filipino experience, then this is the place for you. 

Personally, it's an easy choice. I will continue to stay at this hotel during my frequent visits to Edinburgh and I encourage others to do the same.

A home away from home

The place was very clean and well located. The owner, Greg, was very pleasant and accommodating as well. 
The room was very small but okay just to sleep in but the downside is you share a bathroom and toilet, not something I care for. Very expensive during Fringe st £198 per night but to be fair everywhere in Edinburgh is extortionate during that time. Weather was quite warm so we left windows open but unfortunately lots of loud and late party goers. 
10 minute walk from train station but it is a little uphill so be prepared. 
Also breakfast is served for £8.50 and is well worth it if you are a breakfast person.

Too noisy during Fringe

I must confess, when I first booked this hotel I did not realise that the bathroom/toilets would be shared with other guests.  This is a big no-no for me, at this stage in my life!  And especially when both shower rooms were so small that I could barely lift my arms, and one of them had a dodgy door which wouldn't close properly.  Is it still a hotel if it has shared bathrooms, isn't that a hostel?
However, the hotel is in a good area, right across the road from Calton Hill, and a 10min walk to the city centre, 30mins by bus or taxi to the airport.
The room was ok, a long strip with two beds opposite each other, and because it was in a residential area and there were other gardens behind us, there was some noise from barbecues one evening.
We only stayed for 3 days during Easter, which was bearable, but I wouldn't go back.

Shared bathrooms, not for me

Rather tired room but nice welcome from lovely girl and pretty good breakfast.  Super close to town centre so difficult parking locally.  Average value for money given Edinburgh prices but I would probably stay again if it was just for a night

Ok for the centre of EDinburgh

I stayed there with 3 other friends few days before Christmas. We were really happy because Greg was really friendly with us and explained everything very nicely. He even offered us breakfast for our first morning there.
But after the first night, we realised we had been bitten during the night, some of us on the face, others on the arms and legs. We didn't realise it could be bed bugs on the first night but after the second night it was very clear that we have been bitten by bed bugs.
We did tell the host and he acted very surprised and changed topic very quickly, so he clearly knew about it. And the day before leaving, we left our suitcases in the room during the day, we came back after 3 hours and said: "we have solved the problem in the room!"
How can you get rid of such an infestation in few hours? 
I had few weeks of paranoia when I came back home, and I had to call a professional to check my room before I could sleep peacefully after that. 
I definitely think that this place should not accept guests before really taking care of the bad bugs infestation.
