Our party of 4 had spacious rooms. They were exceptionally clean. And there was a wide variety and hearty enough options for the continental breakfast to tide us over until lunchtime. Close to the bus stops. Would definitely stay there again & highly recommend.

Very freindly staff, delicious breakfast that was served doorside on time and easy walk to bus stops or curbside taxi/uber pick up. Bed and pillows were especially comfy. Very welcoming feeling just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh.

Although I had no bathroom ensuite, I did have my own private bathroom. The breakfast was great. I was able to leave my luggage there before check in time, which gave me time to explore a bit. Bus stops very close by.

We have stayed here before during the Edinburgh Fringe. This time it felt more impersonal, with breakfast delivered to our room, and no opportunity to meet with other guests

Decent, affordable guest house 20 minutes south of central Edinburgh. No facilities but a nice place to stay whilst exploring the city.

House is situated in quiet suburban side street, only a short walk from main walk from where buses to/from Edinburgh city centre regularly. Details regarding check-in and access to premises and room were provided digitally in advance. Property is well appointed and well maintained. Our room was bright, spacious and clean. Function over fuss reflects the decoration and fittings. Breakfast (continental) was freshly prepared to order and very good.

A delightful property with a friendly host. Their gardens are gorgeous. Conveniently located to city center Edinburgh that is walkable (but there is a bus stop nearby). The property offers a delicious breakfast and very clean and comfortable rooms. There really is no reason not to select this property.

We had the best time staying at the Dorstan Guest House. The perfect place to stay when visiting Edinburgh. Close to all attractions. Richard was the perfect host and the breakfast was delightful!

10/10

Dropping off our son at university this was a good place to stay just around the corner from the halls. It’s a good neighbourhood, reasonably quiet. Dorstan House is a huge, grand old Victorian house, tastefully decorated. Self check in was easy with all the codes being emailed two days before arrival. The breakfast was really tasty and plenty of it. It’s delivered to your room. I’d stay here again when visiting our son. Richard was extremely helpful as we needed an extra room for our son as we’d arrived a day early!
