It was more a little hotel than a B&B, so it was not so friendly as B&Bs. Our room was nice but we found some dead bugs in bathroom lamp and on the floor (it never hapenned to us before in all other B&Bs we have stayed in Ireland, Wales and in Scotland). The room is big. The breakfast was... More

During our last holiday in the UK (2011), we met many extremely nice B&B hosts - so helpful and friendly. The enjoyment of a holiday depends so much on hosts who make you feel so welcome. One year, in the distant past, the Tourist Information Centre in Edinburgh put us on to Airlie Guest House in Minto Street, Edinburgh. Since... More

We stayed at Airlie House for three nights. It was OK but needs some updating. Sofa is worn out and bed is very hard. The carpet needed cleaning badly. Beds did not have a top sheet. The room was larger than most rooms in B & B's. This is more like a cheap motel than a Bed and Breakfast. Nothing... More

This place was not too bad. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was quite tasty. The room was comfortable. The wifi really only worked in reception I would recommend that if you stay here that you spend 10 minutes and walk toward the city to eat at the NYAM NYAM Italian restaurant. Tell Stefano that the four Aussies... More

Thanks for your review but I would like to clarify one point regarding the Wifi. We advertise that we have a Wifi hotspot which by definition means that Wifi is only available in a certain area. We don't advertise that we have wifi in all the rooms as this would be misleading. When Guests make a booking with us and... More

Stayed for 4 nights in June 2011, location was excellent within a few minutes from central Edinburgh and on the main bus route, directly outside. Breakfast was excellent, superb selection to choose from both hot and cold. Rooms had all mod cons, were very clean and comfortable. The owners were very friendly and extremely helpful passing on local knowledge and... More

My stay at Airlie Guest House was very enjoyable. The owners, Peter and Fiona Flynn were great hosts and were very helpful with every part of our stay. It was as if Peter and Fiona really wanted to make sure that we knew where to go and what to do. They love their city and helped us enjoy it all!... More

I should have been on my guard when the owners demanded my arrival time before they would even considered my booking. They took my debit card details but said this was for security only and required payment in cash. On arrival I was told I had to pay for my whole stay in advance. Other rules given to me were...

Once again we have had the misfortune to end up with a Guest who has provided an inconsistent and contrived review. As this site allows anonymity it can be difficult pinpointing exactly who made the review, in this case I am 99% sure who the Guest was. Points of inconsistency include that this Guest did not have a car and... More
