Many favourable features warrant a 4 star rating. Lovely property, very well fitted out and maintained, good staff, good food. However if you are in a standard double room and expect something more than a glorified single with little natural light watch out! My issue with this is firstly that the rooms are not cheap, and secondly that I expect... More

We just spent two nights at this beautiful hotel and I recommend it to anyone. The service is as good as you get. Professional yet friendly. The hotel is a real gem. Tastefully done with the traveller in mind. We dined in their restaurant ( Skerries ) both nights and it was excellent. The staff really make this place, but... More

Hello there Thank you for your remarks on your stay with us. You are correct the four poster rooms do add that little bit of extra luxury to your special stay away! I look forward to welcoming you again at the end of the year. Thanks Samantha More

Beautiful hotel with friendly and warm staff. We stayed overnight in their deluxe four poster room , amazing room and great sleep. Located on main road but far enough away not to be disturbed. Easy access for city centre. Full scottish breakfast in the morning to round off fantastic birthday treat. Hotel has old fashioned glamour and yet modern looking,... More

We had a fab weekend here, the room, the service and the food were all excellent. Would stay again. We came to celebrate our anniversary and the staff were so helpful. Edinburgh is a wonderful city and the hotel is well placed to visit just about everywhere

What a great Place, Fantastic Food & Staff! All the furnishing are very luxurious that makes your stay feel even more special. You can walk into Princess Street or to Edinburgh Castle or catch a quick taxi ride into town.

The title to this says it all. This is a great hotel. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The location is great, the building and its interior and furnishings are first class. So my quibbles are just that but would uprate/update the experience for only a small effort. A hair dryer in the room is not a luxury at this... More

We stayed at Dunstane House in March 2013. Hotel is between airport and city center. 15 pounds by cab to airport and 8 pounds to old town. On bus line but with trolley construction it took 20 minutes by bus. Although advertised as walking distance it is clearly a 40 minute walk. All that said staff was great. Well stocked... More

Hi there Thank you for your lovely comments on our hotel. I am pleased you had a memorable anniversary and you are correct, if only we could pick up the building and move it 5 minutes closer! We do benefit slightly from the car parking and peace and quiet for being ten minutes away so I suppose there is a... More
