Dunstane House is is a lovely 4 star hotel near central Edinburgh. It is a 10 minute walk from Haymarket railway station, with a regular bus service to and from Princes Street. . Excellent accomodation with a flavour of the Orkneys in its choice of menu. Well worth paying a little extra for the four poster ensuite rooms. This is... more

Fed up of standard egg-box hotels? The Dunstane House Hotel is a charming alternative to chain hotels. This is my favourite Edinburgh hotel. not because it has the best rooms or the best facilities, but because I have always found that the staff are friendly and accommodating (I have counted, I have stayed there six times). Good points: On the... more

I booked this hotel on-line on the 20th September 2007 for the dates of 29th Sept till 1st Oct. Myself and a work colleague had arranged to stay there at the same time and spend a social week-end together along with our partners. I was phoned by the hotel on the 27th Sept , 2 days before my break to... more

I travel to Edinburgh several times a year, stayed in dozens of hotels, this is the best it gets. Unless the hotel is fully booked I would never now consider staying anywhere else. Food fantastic...try the Grimbister cheese.. Its always clean freindly...the staff stay. The proprietors are attentive and the staff are well trained. Orkney beef is the best it... more

We booked to stay at Dunstane hotel in Edinburgh for our 1st wedding anniversay.It was only after I had booked that I read some of the more negative reviews, in particular regarding room 15. We had booked a standard double and on contacting the hotel was advised we had been allocated room 15! I was quite worried, although the staff... more

It is difficult to classify this review, as a lot depends on the room you stay in. In January 2007 I phoned and booked 2 standard double rooms for June for 2 nights. I was told there were no existing bookings for double rooms at that time, and we would be allocated the two nicest rooms. We paid the full... more

Cancelled booking due to unforseen circumstances beyond our control. Hotel charged deposit (fair enough) and then went ahead and charged the entire booking fee, some £500. No alternative date offered, i begged and pleaded with the proprieter to no avail. Contacted my bank who contacted the hotel as she had actually broken the law by not offering me another date... more

A quaint and quiet place to stay. Rooms were well appointed but I was very disappointed in the size of the room. A double (we stayed in room15) was very small. Hard for two of us to move around. The shower was tiny and cramped. The bar is very comfortable and not noisy like we had read. The library was... more

We booked the Dunstane for our wedding dinner, and while the food was good, we were disappointed by the poor service. You would think that since it was our wedding dinner we would have received better service, but that was not the case. Our drinks were never refilled, and despite being told that we could order from the regular menu,... more
