The property entrance hall and stairwell need refurbishing - large stained areas on carpet. Room was adequate and beds were comfortable. No disturbance but a lingering smell in room, partly a drain smell from shower. Needed a spare key for my son butvthere wasn't one. Good, frequent bus system, into Edinbugh, from stops very close by. ##### Angela Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHARISMA Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cheap and cheerful.Clean.Value for money A nice place to stay for a night. No frills. Clean and tidy. Parking for a couple of cars to the rear, but these are tight spaces. Bus stop right outside will take you into the city centre (about a 20 min bus journey). Tea and coffee/shampoo and conditioner supplied. Breakfast was continental and nice. ##### CHARISMA Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merlyn May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great property? It was clean and felt like I was staying in friends house as far as comfort. Host was polite and welcomed us upon arrival. Would recommend this if staying in Edinburgh. ##### Merlyn Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter Aug 14, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Onsite parking was extremely limited. Busy road. Convenient for taking the bus. Bed was comfortable. Room needs some TLC (paint, dusting/mold in bathroom). Difficult checking in if you can’t phone to be let in (out of country phone didn’t have calling in UK). ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristine May 7, 2025 The hotel is old and tired, the bathrooms need work.

Extremely disappointing. ##### Mathew Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tiffany Aug 21, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Cobwebs everywhere, dirty carpet, spiders, headboards shedding faux leather furniture n the pillows.

Would not recommend! ##### Tiffany Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andres Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This property screams for some reparations and renovations. It has good potential, but the current owners must update the hotel like, NOW! And, I feel sorry for the staff. two kind ladies who can't even breath on how busy they are. I hope OYO hotels stop being so greedy and staff properly this hotel and renovate it as soon as possible. ##### Andres Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cat Aug 30, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don’t book here! The place is in very poor condition. The decor is bad - ripped curtains, ripped carpets, broken lamps, dirty bathroom. There is no one to greet you or to contact. There are police notices everywhere. I’ve had to supply my ID - and don’t know why. ##### Cat Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### S Jul 8, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would give this one a miss Unfortunately the Guest House requires updating in a very poor state of repair, cleanliness an issue and facilities are poor. ##### S Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Diane Aug 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities No staff on premise.

Some were hard. The continental breakfast was good and had plenty to offer. The ladies were friendly! :) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kristine May 7, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The property advertises being on the grounds of Craigmillar Castle.

The room was tiny and dirty. Throw the cushions in the bin-they are disgusting! Breakfast was ordinary. Very expensive and not worth it. Would not recommend. ##### Rob Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathalie Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ...... ##### Nathalie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dominika May 20, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### A fine old house People are complaining about house being old, well, it is and that’s fine. You are only sleeping in there to enjoy city. Parking was fine, close to supermarket if you need anything. Check up possible direct with the owner. No problem what's whatever. ##### Dominika Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Edinburgh-Centre-St-Andrew-Square.h7841147.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eden-Locke.h17859332.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information)
