We had a lovely garden-level room, which has been updated with dark wood floors, new-ish paint and furniture, a wardrobe, and modern bathroom furnishings. The bathroom is a small one, though -- which is understandable since it was built into the room much later, but the shower curtain kept clinging to me, it got very steamy, and I would beg... More

Within walking distance of downtown and Carlton Hill this place was great for us. Cute tartan decore in a nice Georgian flat. Our room was good was quiet as we were in the back. Room is a bit cheaper as they don't service the rooms if you are there for less than three nights. More

We stayed here for two nights and while it was a great location and a fairly decent price, the parking issue really turned us off from here. We were not warned that parking nearby is completely impossible and spent over an hour the first night we arrive in Edinburgh searching for a parking space a mile away from the B&B.... More

We spent two nights at the Lantern House that we found by chance doing a research on line. Their website redirects to eviivo.com booking’s link where there is sufficient information and pictures about the b&b and its location although no precise address or contact details whatsoever. You will get those only when have already booked and paid! I must say... More

We stayed two nights at this B&B, which was over a weekend. The owners live in another building down the street, and they are available Mon-Fri, but other staff were available, and we were e-mailed a pin code prior to our arrival so we could let ourselves into the building. The room was a good size, but the bathroom was... More

We stayed here on a long weekend break, and chose Lantern House on the basis of location and price. We were disappointed on neither of these. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the station from the main station, but that's not to say it's out of town because it's perfectly located for the restaurants and bars of the New... More

We stayed at Lantern House for two nights late May. I chose it for the reviews, location, and price. We wanted something less than £60 a night with ensuite, and we got this room for only £52 a night! We had a basement room toward the back. I thought it was just fine. Great size, wireless internet (had to position... More

Room was ok a little small and at the back so not very light but still a decent room. I had read the reviews prior to booking and I got what I expected a decent room for good value (for Edinburgh), no breakfast and no daily room service. Thats was all fine. I know the city well and the area... More
