Quite disappointed in Mw townhouse after having such good stays elsewhere in Scotland. It provides a bed an en suite and breakfast but not much else. The room is spacious but cold, and noisy (main road outside). The shutter for the window helps but there is no curtain/blind for bathroom. The bed is ok but cushions feel old and duvet... More

Location's nice, but loads of road noise & the rooms are tired and need to be upgraded. Shower's hot/cold indicators are the wrong way around and the mattresses are worn out. The breakfast lady was very friendly & there's a bus stop just outside.

We stayed in Spring 2013, whilst it is the coldest in years, these rooms are vast, and the heating isn't up to it. When we arrived we pressed the buzzer which gave us a Vodaphone announcement stating that there is no credit which is odd, so we had to call the owner which cost us a fortune when mobile roaming...

The hot water in shower room can't last long and heater only provided at some limited period. the coldness wake me up at midnight (but it's the coldest spring in Edinburgh in 26 years so maybe it's not their fault) Wifi is weak in my room and my friends' room. But I must say the lady is very nice and... More

How disappointing, could be a beautiful house but is very drab, cold and uninviting. The breakfast advertised turned out to be a very poor continental breakfast, no option of a cooked breakfast even though the brochure stated a full Scottish breakfast was included. However the lady serving the breakfast was very nice and did her best, We paid £160 for... More

When we arrived we rang the phone and spoke to people running town house. They gave clear instructions as to how put code in and they left our key ready for us. The town house has... More

What a disappointment!!! Reading several past reviews, this establishment has not changed. We arrived within the correct window for check in, and no one was there to let us in. There was a phone number to call (at GREAT cost, given we are from Canada, and didn't have a local phone) The gentleman that answered gave me the code for... More

Stayed at this guesthouse after visiting many other b & bs around England, Ireland and Scotland on a 7 week trip from Australia. Most disappointing place we stayed in. Arrived 1 hour earlier than anticipated because traffic was light, and had to ring to be let into front door, then was asked 'I guess you want a cooked breakfast' when... More

I recently stayed at the MW Townhouse and had a decent experience here. The staff was helpful and friendly even though we rarely saw them. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great and the staff was very attentive. As far as location it is not in the city center but is about a 15 min walk. The... More
