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 ### 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. Dirty walls, dirty throw pillows, mold in the shower. Would not recommend! ##### Tiffany Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mathew Aug 11, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Massively overpriced, run down could clearly hear people in other rooms. Extremely disappointing. ##### Mathew 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 ### 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 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Diane Aug 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities No staff on premise. Phoned and was unable to talk to an actual person, only automatic responses. ##### Diane Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristine May 7, 2025 The hotel is old and tired, the bathrooms need work.

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 #### Rob Jul 20, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were not given an access code to get in the front door. 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 ### 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 castle is no where near this property. We didn’t even see the castle. ##### Kristine Stayed 1 night in May 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard Mar 11, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities It was value for money but furnishings and shower were fairly basic ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Emma Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Breakfast was wonderful & staff were lovely! ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tameema May 28, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Worst place I’ve ever stayed at. Incredibly old gross building that is not suitable for inhabiting. We had three nights booked but left and booked elsewhere after our first night, despite knowing we wouldn’t be refunded. I couldn’t stay there any longer. ##### Tameema Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Samantha Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The bed and the women serving breakfast were the best part. Then it is a steep decline to the rest. The worst is the cleanliness and disrepair. Like another reviewer I saw spiders and their webs. There was mold in the bathroom and bedroom. The carpet was disgusting. The walls were dirty and scuffed. The internals of the heater in the bathroom is covered in caked on dust. Finally the title of the listing is misleading. Yes it is near the castle but as a description of the area not the property. The castle park is across the road but the castle is not in sight. Arden house has a lot to offer but it needs some TLC and updated descriptions. ![Scuffs on the wall and dirty carpet edges.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a5264f2d-86ea-41d3-a4d1-b2ca7913b03f-1752003414832.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Rusty heater](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d8b1d7ac-ec70-4dd5-a1a0-8ab9560cbbc1-1752003413094.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Mold in shower pan.

I completed check in online well in advance and gave a check in time of 15.00. When I arrived at 14.50 I had still received no info re door codes, room key etc. The door was locked. I rang the doorbell which said leave a message. I sent several messages on the chat app. All showed as seen by receiver. No response. I rang the phone number. Answerphone.A few minutes later I received a text asking me what I wanted. I replied I had been waiting outside for nearly an hour. A text came through with entry instructions and I was able to access my room. Breakfast was included but read the small print...cooked breakfast extra and needed to be ordered in advance. Next day I checked in to Travel Lodge. Not much more expensive and far better value for money. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Martina Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nice place at Edinburgh Good place and great choice for Edinburgh. Room is "brittish", so can´t really compare to "western" hotels. But it have it´straits. Eletric cattle on room with cofea and tee is great" ##### Martina Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Travelodge Edinburgh Central Queen Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Central-Queen-Street.h4924301.Hotel-Information) > > [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 – Hunter Square](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)
