Orwell House is a great little place to stay very near the center of Edinburgh. It's threadbare but in my experience consistently clean, with nice service from staff. The inhouse restaurant is indeed basically a pub, but it's fine. The price was great. If you're fussy, probably not for you. If you're flexible and looking for an economical option which... more

The Orwell Lodge Hotel was very easy and its location is perfect for first time visitors to Edinburgh; real close to downtown. It was just a bed so not to many problems. The only two complaints are. 1) The shower in my room was small and only enough room to stand up so reaching and washing to the lower part... more

Upon arriving at the Orwell Lodge Hotel, which should really be classed as a guest house, the staff were rude and unfriendly. Please do not expect any 'Welcome' or 'Hello' if you decide to stay here. On the first night, I was moved rooms with my belongings removed from the room while I was out and left in a back... more

Sorry about the pedestrian title but that's what I thought. It wasn't too expensive (by Edinburgh standards), but it wasn't luxury either. We got a nice room with a clean bathroom at the back. The staff were very helpful and friendly, breakfast perfectly good, but most importantly there is a bus stop opposite the hotel which takes you right into... more

Just returned from spending the New Years holiday in Edinburgh. We stayed at the Orwell Lodge Hotel for three nights. On the positive side, the hotel staff were very nice and helpful but that does not make the stay in all cases and definately not this one. The hotel is rated as a *** but does not meet the standards... more

We have just spent 2 nights at this hotel and have to say were a little disappointed. The building and location are fine however we got the feeling that the hotel is not being managed well. It could be a gem of a place but lacks such a lot at present. As you enter the hotel you pass the bar... more

The Orwell Lodge is excellent. It's in a beautiful victorian building with lovely stained glass windows and large, spacious rooms. Our room had a large comfortable bed and huge bay windows. Everything was clean and comfortable. The hotel seems to be in a very safe part of town. They offer high tea (whatever that is) and have an excelllent bar... more
