94DR
We booked 94DR for a family reunion in early April and it was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully planned and incredibly welcoming. We had the entire property to ourselves, which made the gathering so much more special—spacious, beautifully designed, and full of character. The living areas were cozy yet expansive, perfect for relaxing or hosting our big celebration. Paul, the host, went above and beyond in every way. He helped us plan every detail—from arranging a delicious Scottish dinner he personally cooked (which tasted like something from a Michelin-starred restaurant) to organizing a traditional bagpipe player and drummer for our event. He even recommended an amazing photographer, Marta Rocci, who captured our family moments perfectly. The fridge was stocked with drinks and snacks, extra towels were ready, and fresh flowers added a lovely touch. The garden is spacious, private, and inviting—ideal for morning coffee or evening chats under the stars. Paul knows Edinburgh inside out and shared fantastic tips on where to eat, what to see, and how to make the most of our trip. Whether you're visiting for a family reunion, a getaway, or just to experience authentic Scottish charm, 94DR is the perfect base. But honestly, the real highlight was Paul himself—a true professional who makes every guest feel like family. If you're looking for a memorable stay with personal care and attention to detail, this place is a must-book. I can’t recommend it enough.
Hotel Ceilidh-Donia
Staying at Hotel Ceilidh-Donia was an absolute delight! This charming property feels more like a cozy countryside villa than a typical hotel, with authentic British elegance in every detail. The breakfast is a standout—beyond the usual options, you can choose from five chef-prepared dishes made fresh daily, which made mornings truly special. Located just 3 km from Edinburgh Train Station and within walking distance of the city center, getting around was effortless. I walked everywhere, and it was incredibly convenient. The owner was genuinely courteous and full of charm—he even pulled out a box of over a dozen international plug adapters when I realized I’d forgotten mine! We both laughed about it. Plus, there’s a peaceful little park right next to the hotel, perfect for a morning stroll. This place offers such a warm, personal touch and incredible value—you’ll want to come back again.
Argyle Backpackers
My flight was unexpectedly cancelled, so I had to extend my stay by one day—my first time staying at a backpacker hostel, and honestly, it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. We arrived at 10 AM, and since check-out wasn’t until 11 AM, we’d already booked a castle tour for 11 AM the next day. I was worried we’d miss the key handover after returning from the tour, which could’ve been as late as 7 PM—but the staff were incredibly helpful and proactive in finding a solution. They made sure everything ran smoothly, so we could enjoy our full day without any stress. As a hostel, the overall vibe is warm and welcoming. We stayed in a top-floor triple room with a double bed and a single—one of the best layouts for older guests who don’t want to climb stairs. The shared bathroom on the floor was spotless and well-maintained, and fellow guests were respectful and considerate. Inside the room, there’s a sink (a huge plus for washing fruit or brushing teeth), a TV, a small safe, bedside table with mirror, chest of drawers, and a cute built-in closet. One tiny improvement? More hanging space would be great, but otherwise, everything works perfectly. Great value, excellent service, and a really friendly atmosphere—definitely worth recommending.
Edinburgh Regency Guest House
I stayed at Edinburgh Regency Guest House during a really tough time, and I can't recommend it for anyone. The staff were polite enough, but the owner clearly doesn’t care about guests’ wellbeing. The rooms are extremely run-down — peeling paint, worn-out furniture, and poor maintenance everywhere. I found signs of rodents and even had worms come out of the shower tray, which was deeply unsettling. I was told it wasn’t harmful to my kids, but how can you trust that when the place is so neglected? There were also uninvited individuals staying there, and my children witnessed and overheard disturbing things — completely unacceptable for a family-friendly space. The owner claims he’d never live in these conditions with his own family, but if that’s true, why allow such a place to operate this way? It’s clear money is the only priority here. This isn’t just a bad stay — it’s unsafe, unsanitary, and utterly disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, especially not with children.
Badjao B&B
Staying at Badjao B&B in Edinburgh was a truly enjoyable experience overall. The host is such a kind and welcoming person—she prepares breakfast every morning (just fill out the form in your room!), and she’s full of helpful tips on local transport, must-see spots, and hidden gems around the city. My room was compact but perfectly functional, and I was impressed by how spotless the bathroom and entire flat were—cleanliness really stood out. Public transport is excellent here; multiple bus lines stop just steps away, making it easy to get around town. The location is on a main street, which isn’t the most scenic part of the city, but there’s a Lidl supermarket right around the corner—a real lifesaver for essentials. The only drawbacks are the building’s age: street noise can be noticeable at night, so earplugs are recommended, and some doors rattle when closed. The mattress also had a visible dent from years of use, causing me to roll into it each night, which slightly affected comfort. Despite that, the warm hospitality, cleanliness, and great location make this a highly recommendable stay. I’d definitely come back and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to others.
Glenalmond House
Jimmy and Fiona were absolutely wonderful hosts—warm, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast was exceptional—fresh, delicious, and full of local touches that made it feel special. We were just a short bus ride from the city center, making exploring Edinburgh effortless. Their hospitality made the entire stay feel like coming home. I’d book again in a heartbeat—highly recommend this gem!
Unite Students - Salisbury Court
Staying at Salisbury Court was an absolute delight, especially with my mom and 9-year-old kid. From the warm welcome to the super helpful checkout process, every interaction was friendly and efficient. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the room spotless, and having access to a kitchen and shared lounge made our stay so much more enjoyable—especially getting to chat with a grandmother and her daughter from the Netherlands! Despite being quite full, it stayed peaceful and quiet throughout our visit. The location was perfect—we were close to Arthur’s Seat, could easily hail a cab to and from the train station, and even enjoyed a nice walk into the city center. It’s rare to find such a well-located, clean, and welcoming place with great amenities and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend for families or travelers looking for comfort and convenience in Edinburgh.
Emmaus Guest House Edinburgh
We stayed at this five-bedroom, five-bathroom house for three nights and found it great for our large group. Since we were out most of the day, the unreliable Wi-Fi wasn’t a major issue—but when we were actually at home, the connection was frustratingly weak or completely dropped. The bathrooms were inconsistent too: some rooms had spacious ones, but the top-floor bedroom shared a tiny bathroom with barely any room to place toiletries—everything had to go on the floor. Also, the TVs were only portable-sized, which felt underwhelming for the price point. For a property like this, decent-sized TVs and reliable internet should be standard. Overall, the house was functional and spacious enough for a family or group, but the lack of proper amenities made the experience feel a bit disappointing given the cost.
Dalry Guesthouse
Absolutely loved our stay at Dalry Guesthouse! The location is fantastic—just steps away from the subway and right next to a Lidl, which made grabbing essentials super convenient. The room was clean, well-sized, and cozy with everything we needed. Breakfast was a real highlight—fresh, hearty, and full of local flavor. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality, always ready to help or offer tips. The neighborhood itself has a vibrant, multicultural vibe, with diverse cafes and shops around every corner. It’s such a welcoming, authentic part of Edinburgh. For a budget-friendly yet high-quality experience, this place truly delivers. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and a genuine local feel.
Minto House
The hostess was incredibly welcoming, and the room was spotlessly clean—every corner felt fresh and well-maintained. The bathroom was equally tidy, and the beds were wonderfully comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Located in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from the city center, it offers the perfect balance between peace and convenience. What stood out most was the personalized recommendations—she shared great spots nearby for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which made exploring the area so much easier. It's clear she genuinely cares about her guests' experience. This stay was nothing short of excellent, and I’d happily return. Highly recommend!
Ardmillan Hotel
The moment I walked into the hotel, it felt like coming home—warm, cozy, and spotless. The room had everything I needed: a coffee corner, plenty of towels, a hairdryer, and even a small sink. The shared bathroom was always clean and easily accessible. Everything I needed was within reach, and the location is perfect—everything you’d want is nearby, with the city center just a short walk away. It’s hard to find a better place to stay in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this gem!
Travelodge Edinburgh Cameron Toll
Staying at Travelodge Edinburgh Cameron Toll was an absolute highlight of my trip to Edinburgh! The location is perfect—just a short metro ride into the city center, and everything I needed was within walking distance. The room was spotless, spacious, and super comfortable with a great bed that made for a restful night's sleep. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, with all essentials provided. Breakfast was fantastic—freshly cooked eggs, local sausages, warm pastries, and strong coffee. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the check-in and check-out process seamless. What stood out most was how quiet the hotel was—no noise from the street or neighboring rooms, which made it easy to relax. It’s a great value for the quality, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh!
