We arrived after a long journey only to be told that we couldn't check in until 2pm. When we came back, we had to drag our suitcases up a about four flights of stairs (with no offers of help). Our room was tiny, smelt funny and was very shabby. When we complained about the room and asked to be moved,... more

I went to Edinburgh a couple of weeks before Christmas and booked the Ailsa Craig Hotel. When I arrived the two people who ran the B&B were very friendly. I was given a double room in the basement for 27 pounds a night. I was alone, so the space was quite nice. The bathroom was new and clean, and the... more

This hotel is in a good location and the staff are friendly and helpful but my stay where was a pretty average experience. The room was fine but nothing special and for the price I don't know if it was value for money. The breakfast was pretty gross, I could hardly eat it - cooked tomatoes shouldn't be out of... more

I was booked at this Hotel as part of a Scotland tour and then stayed on after the tour to see Edinburgh. The hotel is located well, although the bus stops are all at the bottom of a hill and require a tough walk uphill at the end of the day. My room was #2, in the basement. It was... more
