The staff was very helpful and friendly. Internet did not work properly and our room was dirty and in the attic. Very narrow, curved, steps to access. This was not a handy location for us, but that isn't their fault. Too far from the city, too far from the airport and located on the main thoroughfare, so very busy and noising for walking. No laundry facilities at the hotel or nearby.

I stayed in Corstorphine House over the August Bank Holiday 2011 and enjoyed a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

The hotel consists of two large Victorian Gothic town houses and boasts a large number of extremely large family rooms.

Corstorphine house is located about 4 miles from the centre of town and as such is ideally located if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, that said the hotel is close to a number of local bars and excellent restaurants.

If you do want to head into the City, there’s a regular bus service just outside the door, and South Gyle Station (nine minutes to Waverley) is only ten minute’s walk away.

Would I stay again? Most definitely.

As a final note, for any guitarists reading this – there’s one of the UK’s best guitar shops right across the street – what could be better!!!

HORRIFIC!!!
The brochure states; "Superior Self-Catering at an Affordable Price"

Dirty bed with hair still on the pillow
Filthy curtains that have NEVER been cleaned.
Kitchen was disgusting.
Wallpaper and ceiling covering falling off
The general state of accommodation made a student house look clean and tidy.


I was 'put' in the apartment called Westhaven as the main B&B was full.
I paid upfront to stay in this hellhole, so I am stuck here because the Edinburgh Festival is on and there is nothing anywhere in the city.
This is a horrible horrible place. It is a house on the main road next to the Edinburgh Zoo. It is THE major road in and out of Edi. The traffic is 24/7.
There are a few people 'living' here. One of which introduced himself to me in his pants!
The kitchen was a mess with dirty plates, food still on the table, and beer bottle all around the place.

I booked a B&B, not a room in a shared house.

Please please please do not give these people your money if offered 'The Apartment'.

Go ANYWHERE but here!

We arrived at the Hotel in evening of Friday 15th July 2011 and was given a very warm welcome by the Asian Gentleman who has been there for juyst over two years.
He booked us in very quickly and showed us to our Ground floor Family Room which was very spaciouse and bright, Everything was very clean and tidy in the room and a 32" HD Ready TV was on the wall . The breakfast was very nice appart from having to make your own toast in a machine which burned the bread nearly every time it was used.
My wife and I thiought it so nice a place that we will be booking it again on our next visit to Edinburgh.
