Guest Reviews
- Hiroyuki (9/5): また来たい。 - とてもリーズナブルで、朝食もパンの種類などを選べておいしかった。とても静かな場所にあります。 ランドリーがないから、長期の滞在は少し不便かもしれません。
- Mieke (9/5): Heerlijke, rustig en comfortabel verblijf. - De vriendelijke gastheer, het heerlijke ontbijt met heel veel keuze op de kamer, de rustige ligging en super rustige kamers, koffie en thee faciliteiten op de kamer. Niets.
- Laura (7/5): - Comfortable bed. Facilities were as expected - cafetiere with coffee, shower room and TV with iPlayer etc.
Comfortable stay with no issues, but not blown away by it. Didn't like having to have breakfast in the room.
Much less contact with the owners than in most BnBs I've stayed in - but some may like this.
We wouldn't have eaten take aways in our room but to anyone who is planning to - this isn't allowed in this BnB.
- Orsolya (10/5): - Excellent hospitality, even though we only met a few times in person, the hosts always made sure I was comfortable and enjoying my stay -- which I did very much, thank you:)
- Stefanie (8/5): -
- Georgina (10/5): PERFECT! Perfect location, perfect hosts, perfect cleaning, perfect breakfast. Loved Dorstan!! - Loved everything Disliked anything
- Linda (9/5): Very enjoyable. Easy access, comfy bed great location for local buses into the City. - Breakfast was lovely, one of the nicest I have ever had. Fruit bowl with Parma Ham & cheese, plus a croissant with cream cheese, walnuts & maple syrup plus juice, set us up for the day ahead exploring Edinburgh
- DELIA (10/5): - La camera e bagno puliti e spaziosi,i biscotti e le bevande calde in camera 😊 la colazione,la gentilezza del proprietario.
- Frank (7/5): Gute Unterkunft für ein Wochenende - Das Frühstück wurde nach abendlicher Bestellung per ausgefüllten Blatt Papier, morgens an die Tür gebracht. Man konnte jeden Tag die Bestellung tätigen. Es war alles da was man braucht. Einfach, aber in Ordnung. Bad war in einem anderen Raum im Flur, aber das wusste ich vorher. Sehr hellhörig. Videokameras überall im Flur und Treppenhaus. Ist vielleicht normal.
- Isabel (10/5): - La amabilidad de Richard, el desayuno nos encantó, la habitación muy limpia y cómoda, muy cerca de paradas bus. Recomendable 💯
- Vasw (8/5): - Nice building clean cozy rooms with nice decor ! The location is perfect if you want something quite next to the bus station 15 minutes for the center on bus ! The breakfast was nice for me maybe for men might be small portions my husband was hungry after the breakfast ! But it’s personal for everyone ! I recommend that place for sure !
- Natalia (9/5): - Desayuno fantástico en la habitación.
Destacar la limpieza y comodidad.
El propietario fue muy agradable en todo momento
- Gemesio (10/5): -
- Angela (9/5): Gorgeous find. - Beds really comfortable. Breakfasts great choice. The gentleman that brought breakfast to room absolutely lovely and friendly, I could have taken him home Nothing
- vanessa (10/5): Una chicca inaspettata - Tutto! La grandezza della camera, la doccia spaziosa, la colazione buonissima, la vicinanza ai mezzi di trasporto, il quartiere Nulla
- Dechen (10/5): - Really fabulous; so much care and attention. Lovely breakfast. Beautiful building and artwork too.
- Panagiotis Gkavogiannis (10/5): - Value for money option for a house close to Edinburgh center. Several bus options nearby are a plus as they make transportation to the center easy and fast which is handy when the weather is cold.
The room was very clean and warm, and the breakfast was also very good.
- Bastien (8/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): - Quiet,clean, comfortable and a good location for accessing the heart of Edinburgh.
Good value for money. Nothing to dislike.
- Kathryn (10/5): Festive and very relaxing - Our second time staying here but not our last . Very clean spacious room. Lovely breakfast, very comfy bed. Lovely powerful hot shower. Location is perfect , bus stop 2 minutes walk away straight into the centre of Edinburgh, bus stopped right outside the Christmas market. Everything we needed was supplied.
- Katja Julia (9/5): - Sehr netter Gastgeber und gutes Frühstück :-)
- Gonzalo (10/5): Repetiré - El desayuno y la atención
- Guest (9/5): -
- Dawid (9/5): - Pyszne śniadania z dużą różnorodnością potraw do wyboru. W pokoju dostępny był czajnik, kawa i herbata i ciasteczko! Lokalizacja świetna, hotel znajduje się w spokojnej dzielnicy, a jednocześnie tylko około 15 minut jazdy autobusem od starego miasta. Obsługa była bardzo miła i pomocna. Nocą potrafiło być chłodno (końcówka listopada) pomimo odkręconego kaloryfera, ale była dostępna dodatkowa kołdra.
- Guest (10/5): - Excellent breakfast a real bonus.
- Glenn (5/5): Ok stay but not overly homely. - The location was close to a bus route. The room was very small and the ensuite was dated.
- Stephan (10/5): -
- Juraj (10/5): - Pleasant, quiet, well maintained place. My stay was very comfortable, looking forward to coming back.
- Arianna (10/5): - Il proprietario gentile e disponibile, la camera elegante e pulita. La colazione super! La posizione comodissima per prendere l’autobus, 15 minuti e si arriva in centro. Niente
- Kawamae (10/5): -
- Marina (7/5): -
- Pauline (9/5): -
- Ines (8/5): - Das Zimmer war gemütlich und sauber. Das vom Hausherrn aufs Zimmer servierte Frühstück war sehr lecker. Die Anbindung an die Altstadt war sehr gut trotz der ruhigen Lage mit Vorstadtflair.
- Felipe (9/5): -
- gail (10/5): Gorgeous quiet period guest house in a stunning area - Such lovely staff and so kind bringing me lovely breakfast each morning. It is a beautiful area although a little far south of the city centre. Very fairly priced. Really quiet. Literally no noise from inside or outside at any time of day or night. A lounge downstairs
- Tóth (10/5): -
- Jacqueline (10/5): -
- Sally (9/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Perfetta!spero di poterci tornare! - Struttura fantastica.molto bella,veramente ben tenuta.si trova in una zona residenziale leggermente fuori dal centro facilmente raggiungibile a piedi con una bella camminata o tramite i mezzi pubblici presenti a due passi dalla struttura .
La stanza era al primo piano,piccola ma fornita di tutto il necessario,compresi biscottini che mi accompagnavano durante la giornata.
Bagno in camera piccolo ma perfetto.
Tutto pulitissimo e con la chicca della colazione portata in camera tutte le mattine,ciliegia sulla torta la colazione lasciata in camera per il giorno della partenza dato che dovevo partire presto. Tutto perfetto.
- Guest (10/5): - Świetne miejsce!!! Jeżeli kiedykolwiek będę wracać do Szkocji na pewno odwiedzę ten hotel raz jeszcze! Blisko do centrum, odległość żeby się przespacerować. Blisko przystanki, z których można się dostać praktycznie wszędzie. A co najważniejsze PRZEPYSZNE śniadania! Podawane w przemiłej atmosferze, produkty czuć, że były świeże. Pokój był czysty i ciepły. Świetne miejsce!
- Gerald (8/5): Pleasant stay at a useful location. - Comfortable bed, good shower and good choice of breakfast which was well presented.
Free parking. Eating in the room.

- Ian (8/5): Fijne accommodatie op een perfecte plek in Edinburgh - Prima accommodatie, dicht bij de bushalte en heerlijk rustige kamers. Alles was erg schoon en het ontbijt werd elke ochtend netjes op de afgesproken tijd bezorgd. Parkeren kan op eigen terrein. Zou er zeker nog eens terug keren!

- Yann (10/5): - Charming building, nice people and we appreciated the options for breakfast Nothing
- Jack (10/5): -
- Noemi (5/5): -
- Jeffrey (8/5): Decent - Clean, comfortable The locks (handles)were horrible, My wife whose smallish hands could “turn” the handle, (knob), but not strong enough to easily do it, my hands are smallish for a man, but the knob is too small and too close to the door jamb, for me to be able to turn….VERY DIFFICULT….aBig Challenge!
- stefan (10/5): Super - Alles Nichts
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Monica (6/5): -
- Leeza (9/5): Recommended comfortable place to stay, would definitely return. - Location perfect for easy walk or bus into city centre. Beautiful property, plenty of parking. Breakfast delivered to room at time of choice, options & quality of food fantastic.
Staff all very friendly- rooms cleaned/tidied daily. Lots of tea/coffee cafetière provided. Minor issue of broken toilet seat. Didn’t mention it as only stayed 2 nights.
- María Lourdes (8/5): Amabilidad y buen trato - Personal muy amable. El desayuno (eliges horario dentro de un rango) comienza a las 8 h (un poco tarde para mí gusto). Un día que salíamos temprano, pedimos que nos sirvieran a las 7:50 y lo hicieron encantados y puntuales.
Solicitamos 2 camas individuales y nos dieron 2 habitaciones comunicadas, superando nuestras expectativas con mucho Algo alejado del centro (a mi me gusta ir siempre caminando). La parada del bus está cerca
No hablan español (como es habitual en la mayoría de sitios en el extranjero)
- Zhiliang (8/5): -
- Zúñiga (10/5): Lovely and comfortable place! - Super comfortable! Good communication with owners before stay! Lovely place!! I don’t have anything negative to say
- Guest (10/5): Séjour très agréable - Hôte très agréable et accueillant. Disponible et de bons conseils. petit déjeuner très bon et varié.
- Barlax (10/5): Perfetto! - Tutto perfetto: l'organizzazione, la pulizia, il comfort. Anche la colazione è ottima. Ottimo punto di partenza per visitare la città.
- JENNY (10/5): -
- Guest (10/5): -
- Wiktoria (9/5): Na pewno wrócimy😊 - Wszystko super, blisko przystanku autobusowego, przepyszne śniadania
- Brown (10/5): Overall very comfortable, welcoming, and clean stay with a great breakfast! Would recommend! - The room was comfortable with great amenities and always clean! The breakfast every morning was great and always so punctual, and delivered with such friendliness from the host, it made the experience so enjoyable and welcoming! The only thing is it’s not quite in the city centre, but if you’re looking for a lovely, comfortable stay in a quieter neighbourhood with the nicest host ever, I couldn’t recommend it enough!!
(There is also a bus stop very close by that takes you right into the city centre in less than 20mins!)
- Mówińska (10/5): Polecam. Stosunek jakości do ceny był świetny. Wrócimy tak przy okazji kolejnej wizyty. - Czysto, ciepło, swoboda zameldowania. Kiepskie śniadania ale za to podane w miłej atmosferze i z uśmiechem.
- Milena (10/5): Polecam każdemu! -
- Helena (10/5): -
- Jordan (8/5): - The breakfast was brilliant. The place is charming and is well looked after.
- helen (8/5): -
- Cecilia (8/5): -
- Sabine (6/5): -
- Sandra (7/5): - Breakfast was great. Very close to bus route The parking was very limited. Only space for 2 cars and very tight.
- Sybille (10/5): Meine Wahl für Edinburgh :) - Ich war letztes Jahr schon im Dorstan House während meines Edinburghs Aufenthalt und ich komme auch nächstes Jahr wieder, weil es meine Lieblingsstadt ist. Die Unterkunft ist sauber, perfekt gelegen und die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. Ich habe mich wieder sehr wohlgefühlt.
- Alexandra (10/5): Un jolie pause aux portes de la vieille ville - Son emplacement, la chambre et le petit déjeuner et l’arrivée autonome avec des instructions claires. Rien
- Sascha (9/5): Sehr empfehlenswert, zum Wohlfühlen - Sehr schönes Haus und komfortable Zimmer, sehr freundlicher Inhaber/ Manager, gutes Frühstück nichts
- Valerio (10/5): - per il nostro primo anniversario di matrimonio abbiamo soggiornato in questa guest house, veramente carina. I servizi sono equiparabili ad un albergo, colazione in camera tutte le mattine e la stanza veniva pulita e sistemata tutti i giorni. Per visitare Edimburgo la consiglio vivamente per il rapporto qualità/prezzo.
- Karri (10/5): Mukava paikka lähellä Arthur’s Seatia - Tyyny ja peitto olivat mukavat, nukutti tosi hyvin. Aamupala oli hyvää ja siinä oli kivasti eri vaihtoehtoja. Hyvät yhteydet keskustaan. Rauhallinen huone.
- suzy (8/5): - Quiet, hot shower, comfortable bed. It was all good.
- Jacqueline (10/5): -
- Lalli36 (10/5): Toller Aufenthalt in Edinburgh - Die Lage des B&B ist super. Bushaltestelle direkt ins Zentrum gleich um die Ecke. Das Zimmer war groß und sauber. Das Frühstück war ausreichend und wurde zur vereinbarten Zeit aufs Zimmer gebracht. Es hat alles gut gepasst. ---
- Michel (8/5): Très bon emplacement pour visiter la ville - Chambre confortable et calme
Très bonnes connexions avec les transports en commun Petit déjeuner pourrait être un peu plus étoffé.
- Alexandra (8/5): -
- Alessia (10/5): Soggiorno incantevole ✨ - Il nostro soggiorno è stato veramente fantastico. Tutto perfetto!
La posizione della struttura è in un bel quartiere tranquillo, collegato benissimo con i bus. La fermata è molto vicina. Casa molto accogliente e pulita, padroni di casa davvero gentili e a disposizione. La nostra camera era molto bella e spaziosa, e la colazione viene portata direttamente in camera, molto buona e con tanta scelta. Nulla, solo che la nostra vacanza sia finita 😂
- Guest (6/5): étant donné qui nous y avons passé 3 jours, nous avons fini par nous familiariser avec le quartier. - Petit déj, continental servi dans nos chambres.
Minimal mais adéquate. Les "knobs" sur les portes, car difficiles à tourner !
- Rodolfo Gustavo (10/5): - La ubicación es excelente.. puedes ir caminando a Royal mile en 20/30 min , mientras disfrutas de la ciudad. Los desayunos son exquisitos y abundantes. Richard es muy servicial y amable..Nos gustó mucho incluso la habitación, que es hermosa , y tiene todo.
- Frank (6/5): did the job - off street parking was a nice bonus room was a little on the small side for us
