We stayed in this B&B for 3 nights last summer. We too had trouble with their one guest computer by the wonderful window overlooking the algae-covered fire escape.

The breakfast room is lovely. It overlooks the back garden, but service is slow. They should have a toaster or two right in the room so guests don't have to wait so long for the runners to bring things down the hall. I'd asked for more toast and never got it one morning. The cook for the full "Scottish" breakfast didn't learn to cook from a Scot. Disappointing breakfast only available on their schedule. No sleeping late on holiday.

I enjoyed the description of the "day room with library". When we were there it was a two-chair room (no sofa), a TV, seven tourist books and a mini-fridge (the bar).

The "olde" Dunstane Hotel across the road has good lunch and dinner in the bar (excellent soups) and also a full dining room that we didn't use. Scots do not tip wait staff for food or beverage service.

The walls of the rooms appear to be quite thin as we could hear people talking (and snoring) in the next room.

The young men who are the "night staff" have a habit of sounding like they are talking to people in their old country without use of the phone which was attached to their heads whenever we saw them. Apparently they don't like to yell into their mobile phones inside their little hide-away-room and go into the hall and slam the door every time they do so. If we needed anything or had a question we had to go knock on the door next to the kitchen where the young men hang out and play on the computer and watch TV. They were never in plain sight.

When we went to bed one night there was a beeping every few minutes coming from the side garden (church side). I looked down but couldn't figure out what it was. It stopped after about an hour.

If it weren't on the airport and city bus route and walking distance to the Haymarket Station and have free parking I don't know if we would stay there again.

I stayed in the Lodge last Aug.. The breakfast was OK. Yet there was always problem with water supply. My friend shouted for help when she was washing her hair. They changed room and had the same problem the other night. In addition, the young male owner there only paid attention to money, not quality service. Don't go there if you have other choices.

Arrived early to a filling breakfast in a lovely dinning room with birds singing in the quiet garden behind us.E-MAILED OUR FAMILY OF OUR SAFE ARRIVAL AND RELAXED IN THE DAY ROOM WITH A LOVELY BOOK FROM THEIR LIBRARY.Later got a frequent bus from across the road and visited the town centre.Came back early evening and the reception phoned us a taxi while we relaxed in their lounge with an aperitif from their 'honesty bar' Went out for dinner and came back to a night cap and a quiet comfortable sleep in a very nice bed.Woke up to a lovely view of a well maintained garden and birds twittering away.

We chose this hotel for the easter weekend to relax in Edinburgh. When we arrived the guy at the reception was very helpfull and gave as quite good information and recommendation. The hotel has a great location and our room was very cosy and perfect for a couple with nice views to the mountains. Everything was clean and the breakfast room was nice and bright which gave as a great start in the morning with a lovely breakfast. The young guy at reception booked as a table in a beautiful restaurant in the city centre and made our stay very enjoyable. We would defenitlty recommend this hotel and will return next year.
