Although I had no bathroom ensuite, I did have my own private bathroom. The breakfast was great. I was able to leave my luggage there before check in time, which gave me time to explore a bit. Bus stops very close by.

Would use again, and recommend to friends

House is situated in quiet suburban side street, only a short walk from main walk from where buses to/from Edinburgh city centre regularly. Details regarding check-in and access to premises and room were provided digitally in advance. Property is well appointed and well maintained. Our room was bright, spacious and clean. Function over fuss reflects the decoration and fittings. Breakfast (continental) was freshly prepared to order and very good.

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.

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.

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 had the best time staying at the Dorstan Guest House. The perfect place to stay when visiting Edinburgh. Close to all attractions. Richard was the perfect host and the breakfast was delightful!

Anja

I had to check out early due to health issues (my dust mites allergy reacted very strongly to the carpeted floor in my room) so I can only judge 1 night and 1 day. The room I received (small ensuite) was as seen on the pictures, but I personally felt less comfortable with the outdated design than I originally thought. Just a personal thing. It was spotless aside from the sink which had rusty spots (due to its age, I assume). The bed was small but big enough for one person and comfortable. Breakfast was great and the room had a nice little coffee and tea station with some biscuits which I appreciated. The short interaction with Richard while receiving the breakfast was also nice and friendly. However, a HUGE downside for me was that, while the area of the hotel is really quiet and you hear little noise from outside, the walls of the rooms seem to be paper thin because I could hear everything from my neighbors. The door to the room doesn’t fully close (about 1cm gap between door and door frame) which doesn’t help either so I constantly felt like I was being watched and under observation which didn’t allow for any relaxation. But this might just be me as a very private person. Additionally, the gap in the door as well as the curtains didn’t do much for blocking out the light. A sleeping mask is necessary if you need darkness to sleep in any way.

Charming guesthouse with charming host

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very nice rooms in a cute guesthouse with 15 rooms. Quiet neighbourhood. Close to a busstop, 20 minute busride to town, around 10-11 pounds for a taxi. You can easily walk to Arthur’s seat. Good idea to get breakfast on a tray in your room. Very good breakfast that you order the day before. Our host was very friendly and charming and helpful. The only thing we missed, was a small refrigerator for drinks. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back here.
