stayed for 3 nights recently, small single room which met all my needs. Room was cosy with lovely view into the garden. Only niggle was the squeaky floor from the room above me! Nice breakfast with friendly staff. Will stay again.

Scored a single room on a budget website, but would have gladly paid more! Fantastic old building in an excellent area, fifteen minute walk to Waverly Station and Princes Street, close to cinemas, restaurants, and parks. I never had to jump on public transport, even when it got chilly at night! Room was on the top floor; no lift, but... More

Just back from Edinburgh and spent 3 nights here. Very handy location and was competitively priced. Other good points were fabulous breakfast, clean rooms and lovely restaurant staff. The down side was cheap and nasty toilet roll, ugly bed spreads (clean good linen and towels though) and water only luke warm most mornings but hot in evenings. The chap on... More

I found my stay at the Ailsa Criag Hotel trouble free and pleasant. There was a nice view and the service was friendly. The room wasn't huge but i am a single traveler with basic needs, the shower was slightly hard to negotiate but i am a larger size than most, so. The hotel is at a convenient spot with... More

For £40 for two people b&b this was Excellent... The welcome from lady (Durham accent) on reception upon arrival was first class and receptionist in morning (Eastern European accent) was very good too! However, the night receptionist male (scottish accent) was far less welcoming/ friendly... He growled 'which room are you' and no other words were spoken:( Room was decent... More

On arrival, having followed the directions issued by the hotel, which seemed to take longer than 15 minutes, but it is a manageable walk from Waverley station, we were advised that our room was 'in the Gods', which it definitely was. The stairs didn't get easier as the week went on, but we had a stunning view. The room was... More

Very good hotel,excellent value, it only cost us £40 each for two nights with breakfast. The hotel could do with a bit of updating but if your out all day and just need somewhere to sleep its very good! Breakfast was excellent- with plenty of choice. Staff were very friendly.

Friendly staff who helped us booking cabs. Good value for money especially for 4 sharing in a room. They need to upgrade the hot water system as it ran out on both mornings we were there. It was raining most of the time so cabs were a must for us
