Great place to stay.
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!

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

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.

Basic room but it has had everything needed for a short city break. Nice, quiet location and easy parking. A small kettle is in the riom but nowhere to store milk. A small fridge would be helpful.

Would definitely stay again
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.

Beautiful building with clean and comfortable rooms. It was amazing value for money considering the continental breakfast was included. Lots of great options and delivered to your room at your time of choice. Host was friendly when I met him briefly in the morning. Being able to access my room key in the lock box outside was great as I arrived a lot later than planned. Highly recommend. 😄

Cozy hideaway
Traveling solo and this was a wonderful respite from the crowded streets. Lovely breakfast and cozy room. Felt like I was staying at a relative's home. I walked to the castle when weather was nice. I would stay again!
