10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable bed, lovely staff, and great location
Emily, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Massively overpriced, run down could clearly hear people in other rooms. Extremely disappointing.
Mathew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is old and tired, the bathrooms need work. Linens are clean and the staff are lovely
Kristine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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, 2-night trip

Cameron, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No staff on premise. Phoned and was unable to talk to an actual person, only automatic responses.
Diane, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

Breakfast was wonderful & staff were lovely!
Emma, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

One nighter

Some beds were soft. Some were hard. The continental breakfast was good and had plenty to offer. The ladies were friendly! :)

4/10 Fair

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, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was value for money but furnishings and shower were fairly basic
Richard, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very small room toilet did not flush

Nathalie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Loved how close this was to Craigmillar castle and proximity to the bus stop.
Stefania, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spledid service @ breakfast
Cynthia, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place is excellent to me. I've read some of the comments here about the place is being old.. well all I want is a place to sleep over cause I will be exploring Scotland all day and this place is perfect to me. Location, its about 20 to 30 mins by bus when going to City Center. Bus stop is very near the place. Only few steps away. About the service, its very good. I encountered some minor problem upon check in and I reported it immediately and they take action very quick. I have to commend them on that. They serve free breakfast and the staff are very accomodating. Surely will book here again when I go back to Scotland. It is worth it what you pay for.
