October half term
Stayed in Room 6 for 3 nights. As expected room did not have en-suite bathroom but has a separate private bathroom just for this room. Not a problem at all except the toilet got blocked but this was on the last day, and we have had a prompt response that it will be sorted shortly. Check in was smooth even with no front desk at the property. Overlooking a busy street but noise was from the traffic mainly which, again, was expected. Pillows are a bit uncomfortable but a minor issue. All in all decent stay at affordable rate (for Edinburgh in half term) at a walkable distance to the centre. 30 min walk or 10 min on bus. Well recommend it. Only one parking spot but there is a notice on the front door with guidance where to park.

2/10 Poor

When I arrived, and rang the doorbell, I was connected though the intercom with someone, whom I had a very hard time understanding. The sound quality of the intercom connection was terrible. The person on the other end was apparently shouting as loud as she could, but still almost nothing was arriving at my end. I had no phone plan in the UK yet, had to activate my Canadian plan, and eventually was able to call her by phone to receive the information on how to access the building and my room. I wonder why they don't just sent an email as other places do. When I eventually entered my room, I figured that it hadn't been serviced. The bedding and towels were obviously from the previous occupant. I called the manager again, and she sent a person over who arrived about 30 min later and cleaned the room. So, my experience certainly wasn't particularly good.

Horrible experience.
A lady banged on the door at midnight asking for payment. They had my credit card on file and I offered to pay at check in. The staff did not speak English in an English speaking country. The worst experience ever. The rooms are extremely noisy.

Lovely and clean, didn’t see staff but key was left in secure lock and had mobile phone number of owner so this wasn’t an issue. We were really pleased with the room, all recently redecorated. 5 min bus ride into main centre or £10 in taxi. Would definitely stay again

The location and room were great, right on the bus line into town, but check in by ring camera not so much

6/10 Good

Arrandale guest house provided a comfortable room and a good spot to rest your head. We stayed in room 6 which has a private bathroom, which was a bit dated but perfectly functional. Points added for a shower with good water pressure. Our room did smell a bit like cigarette smoke when we arrived but it disappeared after we aired out the room. It was most likely due to the smoking spot being right under the window. It’s easy to access centre of town on the bus, small downside is that it is a bit more of a residential area so things like restaurants/coffee shops etc are limited although lots can be accessed a very short bus ride away.

Didn’t actually get to stay due to: 1. Hotel took payment 16 days early as it was supposed to be pay at property. 2. No reply to calls or snails for 14 days with a question. 3. Finding out that parking is not included and it’s a free for all on the local streets that are mainly permit only. 4. Finding out there isn’t breakfast available if needed. 5. Finding out it’s an intercom system to okay find the key. All in all it wasn’t what it said it was when we booked.

Ghost Host - Lacks a Personal Touch
Everything about the room in the guest house was fantastic. It was clean and newly finished. All the amenities were provided and it had a lovely bathroom! However, it called itself a "guest house", but there was no host to receive the guests. There was no personal customer service at the reception and no clear direction on the check-in procedure was offered on arrival. We found this exasperating! Another guest fortunately explained the procedure to us. To check in, you had to press a buzzer and an unclear and inaudible voice answered and gave you instructions. We expect this at an Air B&B where the owners are often absent, but not at a guest house. This is the reason that we didn't choose an Air B&B. Therefore we will not be recommending this place to others as it definitely lacked a personal touch and the customer service was non-existent.

This was a terrible stay. There was no parking available except on the street and the map and help was co fusing as hell. The room was spacious and room enough for three.and the beds were clean, and bathroom was clean. But the rest was terrible. The room smelled very odd and and unpleasant. It was also hot and the windows did not open. And the in our booking for 3 people we were given 1 bath mat and 1 handtowel for the room! I contacted the agaent at 8 pm, and when i said we dont have towels and need them now to shower and go to bed, she replied, well I am just going to dinner. I again said we needed them now and she replied she'd bring them later. When is later i asked. She stated 9. She NEVER came to bring the towels!! Just awful customer service!!! Wll tell everyone to stay away!

No complaints, super comfortable. It was clean and very convenient, the bus stop is right outside and it’s a 10 minute walk to various restaurants, shops and convenience stores. There is no breakfast at the property. We did have trouble contacting the property before hand, and Expedia was also unable to contact them. It shows permanently closed on Apple Maps but it is open. When we arrived, they said they don’t even know that number that was online, however the correct phone numbers are listed outside the door. The number should get updated but we felt safe and clean there and that’s the most important part.
