Booked over the internet the day before. Owner called us to confirm when our check in time would be (had to be after 3pm), which was late to begin with. We arrived at 3pm and buzzed our way in. The owner man greeted us but was cold and not friendly. We said we had a booking. He looked confused and... more

We stayed here in August and thought, having seen a variety of reviews already ( after we had booked!) that some very recent factual information might be helpful to those needing accommodation in Edinburgh. Positives :- Within walking distance of city centre - easy route about a mile. Clean white linen Owners very helpful regarding getting around and very pleasant... more

I booked this B&B in April due largely to the great reviews on TripAdvisor. I was a little disappointed overall. Pros - 1. The staff and managment were very friendly and helpful. The manager went out of his way for us a couple of times, and that means alot. However, I wish we could have been given better information on... more

MW Townhouse was an acceptable accommodation in Edinburgh. In a very quiet neighborhood not far from Arthur's Seat, this B & B had rooms that were perfectly acceptable with decent beds and bathrooms. Breakfast was quite nice with decent hot and cold foods. The proprieters were friendly and helpful. The location is a fair hike from the royal mile, but... more

This accommodation was booked for me by some course oganisers. I told them my budget and then they sent me the details of this place. I was a bit dubious when they referred to it as a B&B but it was nothing of the sort. There were no grumpy old landladies giving you lectures about making too much noise and... more

I know we stayed here several months ago but I only now had time to write the review. I found out about the MW Townhouse by looking at the Visit Scotland website and the one for the property itself. I liked the way it looked and the prices are very reasonable given the current exchange rate. I contacted the property... more

Our stay at the MW Townhouse got off to a bad start, sadly. I had booked from the 1st to the 6th August 2007 to celebrate both my husband's birthday and the start of the Edinburgh Festival. Although booked into the Townhouse, we were told to check-in at the MW Guesthouse around the corner. Abrupt receptionist's first language obviously wasn't... more
