It is nice experience of living in this Cambridge House, Edinburgh. My room was on the second floor, the room was very clean and nice. The bathroom had a window upabove, so it was good-lighted and no bad smell at all. Plus, the shower was great. What's important, it is not expensive at all. With that price, it's totally worth...

This b+b is basic but was fine for us as we were only really in the room for sleeping. The room was small and very very hot, even with the radiator turned down and the window open. It was clean and tidy enough although there was a stain on the duvet covers. Had to pay extra for breakfast which we... More

We stayed in Edinburgh for one night and found this B&B. It would have been great; it had a good location, parking, clean and tidy, friendly owner and the room was good. However, it was far too hot, even when we turned the radiator off. Unfortunately there was a boiling hot heated towel rail in the bathroom that seemed to... More

Positives: Friendly staff member, high standards of cleanliness in the actual room. Excellent, but small, shower. Never cold. Negatives: Very smelly at times - Indian cooking. No communal area, the breakfasting section is locked aside from at breakfast time. Internet must be paid for but considering this place is relatively cheap I can't complain too much. If you don't have... More

We stayed for 4 nights and paid 110 BP on the average (75-163) excluding breakfast. I've stayed in many hotels and B&Bs in Britain at that price level and below, and I can say that this "hotel" is not worth more than 60 BP a night. The room was tiny. It must have been small already before they separated part... More

me and my girlfriend stayed here for the weekend, before we entered the hotel there was a strong smell of curry, as all through the house, the rooms were clean and tidy but on the small side, the owners were very friendly and helpful,just put us off with the smell. apart from that everything else was ok.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this B&B two weeks ago for two nights and we had a wonderful stay. The owners were very friendly from the start, the room was very well-presented, clean and tidy.

My and my girlfriend recently spent 3 nights in Cambridge House. First impression was that the room was Tiny, and there was virtually no space to move or store anything. The room appeared to have had a bathroom added into it which greatly reduced the space. There was a bra on the floor which had been left presumably by the... More

All ok but if you want Internet then I would go somewhere else. Unable to get online late on. I can't understand this day and age. Room clean and ok. Just Internet is the let down.
