About

Gillis Centre B&B - Edinburgh

Gillis Centre B&B occupies a Victorian building in Edinburgh's Morningside district, a leafy residential area known for its independent shops and café culture. The property includes 20 rooms, a garden, and a breakfast room where guests help themselves to a continental spread that features homemade bread.

The location suits travellers who want quiet evenings without sacrificing convenience: a bus stop sits nearby for trips into the Old Town, and the city's main sights, including Edinburgh Castle, are within a 25-minute walk. The 24-hour reception and lift add practical comfort for a city break.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Breakfast is self-service — The continental breakfast is help-yourself, which suits some guests but may not match those expecting a cooked or served option.
  • Location outside the centre — While connected by bus, the B&B sits in a residential area, so guests must travel to reach most restaurants, pubs, and attractions.
  • Small-scale B&B — With 20 rooms and no mention of on-site parking or a restaurant, it's geared to short stays rather than extended or car-based visits.
