The Ben Doran Guest House

I really enjoyed my stay. The room was exactly as I expected, with a pleasant, slightly old-fashioned style and floral wallpaper, and it was very comfortable. The location is excellent: you can easily walk to the centre of Edinburgh, and there are plenty of interesting things to see along the way. And if you don’t feel like walking, there’s a bus stop literally right in front of the building, which is very convenient. The breakfast was tasty and sufficient for a good, satisfying breakfast. I’d also like to mention the very friendly and pleasant girls working at breakfast. The shared bathroom was clearly mentioned in the description beforehand, so it wasn’t a problem for me. The only thing I slightly missed was a small table in the room, where I could comfortably sit with a coffee or tea. Overall, I’m very happy with my stay and would happily stay here again if I visit Edinburgh again. I definitely recommend it!

Excellent breakfast

I was up on the 2nd floor so had to go up a lot of stairs with my heavy suitcase. The shower didn't function well. The water was either very hot or very cold.

Sorry that there was no elevator, but because it is an historical property, it can not be installed. Staff was wonderful and breakfast and the room it was served was beautiful. Well worth the money if you can do 47 steps to the top floor. Were in our late 70’s and we did it!!!! Great spot and great people running it.

I had problems with the TV the lady on duty was more than helpful in resolving the problem and getting me a replacement nothing seemed too much trouble just what you need to be , looked after
