Booked this place for 4 nights in January, deliberately selected so I wasn't on top of everything and couldn't have picked better. I walk as much as possible and it took me about 20 minutes to get right into town, by bus it's about half that and the public transport is efficient and cheap so excellent if you have luggage...

This is a very good hotel to stay in your visit to Edinburgh. A family run business, it has a special atmosphere. When checking in I found out that the internet would not work at the room because the socket was broken and Alex kindly moved me to another room where I could use the service without troubles. The rooms,... More

From our early AM arrival from the overnight train from London my boyfriend & I were warmly welcomed by the staff at the Ceilidh-Donia by not only having our room ready but also treated us to breakfast before falling asleep in our room. Breakfast by far, was the best number of hot selections I have seen in a good while,... More

When Guests arrive after a very early start in the morning and arrive at the Hotel looking a bit jaded it really is a pleasure to offer food or drink to help revive them as i know when i travel these things are not always supplied or available. The great thing about running your own Wee Hotel is that you... More
