My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights in May and were both very impressed with Allison House Hotel, the staff and the facilities. We enjoyed a cooked breakfast both mornings which was prompt and delicious, with many other options readily available for those after something lighter. Whilst I agree with many other reviewers that the rooms and bathrooms... More

I stayed two nights here when visiting for a reunion. Perfectly adequate establishment, bedroom etc clean and comfortable, but overall, not particularly exceptional, apart from a rather good breakfast. The Continental version had loads of fresh fruit, croissants and rolls which were an excellent substitute for a cooked meal, although that was available too, and fairly good. Didn't feel it... More

We stayed here 2 nights while we explored Edinburgh. The room wasn't the best but we couldn't complain. It was a little bit old-fashioned. The breakfast was excellent. Before engish breakfast there was a choice of fruits, croissants, hot buns and cereals. You must be carefull with your bill because we were asked to pay 270 pound instead of 170.... More

Great stay here. Staff friendly, absolutely fantastic breakfast. Ten minutes on the bus to city centre and busses every couple of minutes. Room ok size (small twin on the top floor). Reasonable value for money in line with hotels of a similar nature in similar locations.

we stayed for 3 nights over a busy weekend. The room was very strange, musty furniture and ver old fashioned. The shower clogged up on our last day and almost overflowed. It also went cold regularly and the door was broken. The room wasn't hoovered while we were there. The owner was nowhere to been seen on arrival and took... More

We stopped here for a few days while we explored Edinburgh. We were late arriving but it was not a problem. It was bitterly cold outside, but they had put on an electric heater in the room to boost the radiator. The complimentary whisky helped to warm us up. Good breakfast and friendly staff. They were happy to provide day... More

Really nice rooms, helpful staff recommended an excellent Indian restaurant just across the road for our evening meal and printed our ticket for the zoo, extra touches such as complimentary whisky and sherry made it special, breakfast delicious. Regulr buses into city centre. Definitely recommended.

We stayed in the small double on the top floor which was adequate but could do with some work! Some of the furnishings just seemed a bit cheap and slightly unnecessary; it seems to have a lot squeezed into it. I realise it’s the small double but the space could be utilised better to make it feel less so. The... More

Without the luxury of an extra bedroom, when my parents come to visit me they nearly always stay here. So welcoming, and comfortable, Owners and a Manager that are only too happy to help and are as involved or as uninvolved with your stay as you want them to be! My parents always like going here, easy to get to,... More
