We stayed here for two nights and thought it was great. We wanted something that was affordable, which did mean staying outside the city centre, but with a bus stop across the road and regular buses directly in to town, this didn't prevent us making the most of what Edinburgh had to offer. Our host was friendly and helpful, and... More

Booked based on the pictures on the website, and were a bit disappointed when we arrived. The staff was very friendly, allowing us to leave our luggage at the B&B, even though we arrived before check-in time (we arrived around 8:30 a.m.), so that we could explore the city luggage-free. Our room was very clean, but the old bed left... More

We ended up here after the Northumberland Hotel just down the road made a mistake with their booking and had to find us a room elsewhere. As such I have no idea what the cost of the rooms were but for what we paid this was a really nice place to stay. The rooms were pretty spacious if slightly old... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ben Craig House and would have happily stayed more nights if we were staying in Edinburgh longer. Yes, as reported by other reviewers, we were hit up for payment when we walked through the door, but knowing to expect that ahead of time made it not a big deal at all - you... More

I liked a lot about this B&B, the staff were friendly, breakfast was great, good location but unfortunatly the bed was so uncomfortable that I could hardly sleep the first night! The room had a double and a single bed and my husband had booked it as a Christmas present for me, a romantic break. Unfortunatly because the double bed... More

We stayed around the corner from here a few times, but it was booked up as iut was the preview week of the Fringe Festival - our reason to be in Edinburgh for three days and two nights. Picked this off another site, paid £100 per night which, to be honest, you would expect to pay most places (and more)... More

I booked on line and only paid £49 -any more and I would have been aggreived. Nothing was very wrong, but nothing was good. And the atmosphere is just strange. Go somewhere else if possible; have low expectations if you stay here. More

The Hotel is well positioned for public transport (bus stop immediately outside the hotel -nice!!). But saying that, there are some nice walks locally, and the city is not that far away by foot (the community centre inside the church on the left about a mile into the city does a great cup of cheap tea,coffe or hot chocolate!! yummy!)....
