What guests think

Reviews of Corstorphine Lodge Hotel highlight a convenient location for buses and the airport, generally friendly staff, and fair value, while also mentioning dated decor and some comfort trade-offs compared with modern hotels.

Room experiences vary widely, from spacious, quiet options with pleasant views to compact attic rooms with limited ventilation, small showers, and occasional noise from pipes or thin walls. Cleanliness and maintenance feel inconsistent, with reports of dusty fixtures, lingering odors, and worn or messy bathroom finishes alongside many notes of tidy spaces. Facilities are basic, with no lift and limited or insecure baggage storage, and breakfast costs extra with mixed impressions. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay best suited to practical short visits.

Quaint, clean and reasonably priced on the bus line to the Center of Edinburgh . The staff were pleasant, courteous and helpful. Beds were uncomfortable. Furniture in the lounge area could use a refresh-but overall a lovely place to stay with the local shops offering choices for breakfast and lunch.

Good place to stay before a flight - No contact checkout allowed me to leave the building by 6:01am, walk 1 minute to the bus stop, and make it to the airport by 6:15am. One thing i really did not like was their baggage storage. The bag storage room was bascially in a hallway that anyone in the hotel could walk through. If you are travelling with any valuable gear, and you arrive before your 3pm check-in time, I would not plan to store your bags, since they wont store it behind a locked door, or give you a tag/receipt for holding it. They had 3 office rooms on the ground floor, which seems like alot for a small hotel - I would recommend to management that they create some space for secure baggage storage in the future. Otherwise, this is a solid spot for a breif stay in EDI, and perfect if you're about to fly.

We were greeted by a lovely staff member close to 9:00pm. Easy check in. Very quiet area. If stairs are an issue you will need to request a downstairs room. No elevator. Our room was pleasant and clean. Perfect location only 3 stops from the airport.

On the main road to airport across street from a bus stop on main line. Room was good size with private bathroom and comfortable beds. Walls are not very soundproof, it sounded like the room next to ours was in our room. Friends had to carry luggage up 3 flights of stairs - no lift in hotel.

This was a good hotel outside of the Edinburgh city center, giving it more of a less-crowded and noisy feel. There is a bus stop just down the street, along with a Lidl and McDonald's as well as several cafes and sit-down restaurants. The rooms are decorated beautifully in a Victorian style. You have to park on a side street nearby, so depending on how many other cars are parked there (it's a residential neighborhood) it's a bit of a trek up/downhill. Hotel staff were very pleasant and accommodating. There is an option to pay for a hot breakfast in the mornings. The only thing I was not a fan of here was the strong perfume/incense smell inside our room that kind of hit the nostrils.

This hotel needs a major renovation. The conversion from a house to a hotel is very poor and not up to modern standards. The bathroom finishes are very messy, the toilet has been wedged into a tight corner and the bath itself is dangerous and slippery when wet from the shower. The soap shelf was also broken. The only positive point was that it was close to the friend we were visiting.

The lodge staff were kind and helpful however the room felt dark and musty. I could hear people talking and moving around in adjoining areas. Shower small. Probably would not suit anyone over 150 lbs. or 5'10'. For the price it seemed below average. It was close to bus service and grocery stores. Kind of a weird check-in process.

The location was conveniently close to the airport. However my room was tiny, and it was right under the roof. There was no air conditioning or fan and only the only window (in the roof) could not be kept open. The room wasn't aerated by other means either and quickly adopted a hot and humid climate. I didn't sleep well at all. The other thing I didn't like was the bathroom with a shower that was served by a tiny on-demand heater that provided a very minimal flow of hot water and no hot water at all at the vanity.

The property was reasonably priced and in a good location. We had good night’s sleep on both nights of our stay and were comfortable. Breakfast was not included but reasonable for the price of £9.95 (continental). The porridge was excellent! The decor was quite tired and it was quite dark inside. The dining room had an aroma of fried food. The staff were flexible and we were able to change rooms as the original room was at the top of quite a steep staircase and very hot and airless. Our second room was larger, more airy and had a seating area which looked out onto the garden and was pleasant.

Stayed here one night as was in Edinburgh to see a friend's band play. Wasn't in the hotel much but the room was nicer than expected for the price, well worth the money. I didn't manage to get a good sleep but I think that's down to my own vicissitudes. Location well connected to city centre through the buses. Room was quiet enough as was facing the back garden. Receptionist was nice too. Would probably stay again yeah.

The hotel is a short 2 minute walk to the nearest bus stop with buses leaving regularly to and from the city center (a 30-minute bus ride). It is also only 2-3 stops from the Edinburgh Zoo. Breakfast is available, but not included, and is a little pricey, even for the cheapest- the 'continental style' breakfast.

A very basic room with basic bathroom. No window to open, the curtains over the balcony doors didnt block any light, so the room was light by 5:30am. The plug didnt even fit the sink! Breakfast had to be booked the day before, even an omlette required 24hrs notice! Completely over priced - I was charged £449 for a twin room for 2 nights excluding breakfast - I would not have expected to pay more than £60 a night for this.
