The Hoose is a nice little place away from the city center but close to everything Edinburgh has to offer. For the adventurous, one can take a nice hike in the Holyrood park and climb over the hill for some great views and drop into the city center. For the less adventurous, three major bus stops surround the Hoose with direct buses to all the sights. If you're looking for a place to set up camp and are willing to not be smack in the city center, then this is the place to stay. If you need to step out of the door and into the city center, this is not the place for you.

The owners of the Hoose were great and I'd definitely stay here again. For those up for a walk, head to the beach. Tons of good eats and away from the tourists.

We had a lovely four nights here. We had our 16 month old with us and Ann supplied everything we needed for him, even loads of toys. Ann had provide food and bits for us which was very welcome. The accommodation was perfect for us and location was spot on- only ten min drive into city centre and the bus is also very convenient. Portobello beach is lovely too and lots of cafes/restaurants in the area.

Just the best, the welcome was lovely as was the welcome pack that took the pressure off getting food. Great position with a Tesco Express down the road. The house was very clean and tidy with every gadget you could possibly need. Very friendly and knowledgeable hosts who respected your privacy. Has wifi but tends to full off the net so difficult to use. Excellent bus service into town made shopping and sight seeing a breeze. I cannot recommend Come Ben The Hoose more strongly, you will not go wrong staying here. Great value for money.

We went to Edinburgh for Hogmany and decided to stay outside the center so we found this cute home and are so glad we did. We were welcomed with some Scottish goodies and loads of great info that we needed for our travels. I highly recommend staying here. It is walking distance to bus stops that take you to the center.

Nice and cosy apartment, close to the bus stops, 15min from the center, from the beach, which is very convenient, of course. Ann was absolutely the most welcoming and hospitable hostess, ready to help and advice at any moment! If I come to Edinburgh again, i will stay at this house with great pleasure again.

We were actually sick of the hostels so me and my two ladies booked the Come Ben the Hoose house. And honestly, it was greatest idea ever! Ann is such a lovely lady, living next door. The comunication via emails was great, she described us how to get to her from Edinburgh airport. When we arrived she showed us the house and also made for us some grocery shopiing and baked homemade scones!! It was amazing suprise (and the scones were delicious!). You can also left home all towels, shower gels, shampoos and many others - Ann has almost everything for you!
The house is small, but perfectly clean cosy and warm. It has two bedrooms - one with single bed, second with king size bet. It is perfect for three people or couple with two kids. There is also shower, small kitchen with all needs like kettle, microwave etc. and living room with TV. You can also relax or have a cigarette in the little lovely garden.
Ben the Hoose is about 15 minutes to go by bus from the very centre (princes street or waverly bridge). There are also going night buses so no worries. 2 minutes walk is a little Spar to buy some groceries. About 10 minutes to walk there is also Tesco and very good but not expensive restaurant. and around less then half hour you can walk to Portobello beach.
For the price 50gbp per night, Ben the Hoose is a little piece of paradise. Thank you Ann to being such a wonderful woman and for sharing your house with us. It was really pleasure and we are definitely coming again!
