The Strahallan hotel was beautiful and well-appointed. Our host kindly greeted us and helped carry up our bags (note no lift). We were also able to park there, which was GREATLY appreciated. The room gets a bit musty smelling and we weren't able to open the windows, but running the bathroom fan helps.

Clean, cute, but pretty small room. Great location for a 20-30 minute walk into central Edinburgh with many shops and restaurants along the way. Unfortunately, during our stay both the toilet flushing handle broke and the sink starting leaking water all over the floor every time we turned it on.

My stay here was SUPERB. The room felt clean and very pleasant to stay in, and the manager was so kind in letting me check in early. A shout-out to the cleaner who was there when I arrived as well, who was kind enough to help let me in and even carried my bag upstairs for me - that was so appreciated :) Best accommodation I’ve stayed in for a long time!

Our host was nice and recommended a good pub (The Old Bell) down the road to eat. The room itself was older but clean, enough space, and a good bathroom. The beds are not the most comfortable but they worked fine for the two nights we stayed there. There is a bus stop just down the road for easy transit. It is also only a 20 minute walk into the heart of Edinburgh. A lovely accommodation for the price and location.

Good basic room during the very busy Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Fringe Festival. Near bus stops out from central core which made it less expensive and more available. Staff gave us basic information, but would have been helpful to receive more tips about things we should know on how to navigate the city and getting back to the room. No food options in the immediate area.

I so wish I had better things to report as I am pretty easygoing in terms of travel. Main issues:
1. Room was not as advertised on the site- one bed not two. Host was not open to feedback to change the photo on the site- this is room 5.
2. Stain on the duvet. When reported the host appeared to doubt our observation until we literally showed him.
3. No breakfast- update site to reflect this although there were lots of biscuits treats and tea and coffee
4. Hot water was intermittent especially in the morning and the bathroom was very small.
Good things- room was large and house is lovely. Short walk to Royal Mile and a lovely breakfast spot around the corner. Close to transportation and quiet. Just think the site should be updated and host could have been more welcoming.

This property is located in a B&B neighborhood. It is a short walk to the bus stop. This was our first time in a European B&B. It felt like staying in your great-grandma's house. The owner was friendly and quick to answer questions prior to our arrival. Our room was spacious enough with an electric kettle, tea and biscuits are provided. However, there were some housekeeping things that made me cringe a bit. The upholstered headboard is stained from years of use, the hairdryer handle was caked in sticky residue, the bathroom was a little dingy, and the beds were not comfortable. I felt a spring in my side all night. We were glad we only stayed two nights.

An important thing to note: NO TOILETRIES were provided at this property. We were not prepared for that and we had to make a trip to a nearby market for soap and shampoo.

If you are looking for character then you might like this property. The location was good enough and a short bus ride from Edinburgh.
