Arrandale Guest House

Nice hotel. Old house, very sound. Breakfast was good. Check in is interesting when you have to talk thru a doorcam. Not the first time having to do this so it was ok. Great location, 30 minutes walk to downtown and only minutes to shopping and restaurants.

The owners are lovely people. Breakfast is very nice. The only thing that concerned me was the outermost door to the property is left open all night. Otherwise the area is very quiet, well lit at night and a 15 minute bus ride from the centre of town. The rooms are recently renoovated.

Stayed here for one night with family . Everything was fine except just one small thing we stayed in Room 6 which is at the front of the building and because of it being the busiest weekend and the windows only being single glazed to hear all the traffic and their was plenty of it . Apart from that everything was good

Room is big and mattress is comfortable. Shower is small for a big person. Staffs are accommodating.

Check in was easy and the managers were pleasant. It was not located particularly close to major attractions, but it was fairly well connected to bus lines. This was a pretty good value for Edinburgh.

We stayed here for 4 nights from 26th to the 30th June. The owners only took over on the 3rd June so were very new to owning this BnB. When we arrived no one was in and I rang a tel no. Which was on the door. The first number was out of service but got through on a second no. They had left the key in a box on the wall. We let ourselves in and were the only people there. We didn’t see anyone until the morning when we met one of the owners Mia. She is lovely and very friendly and really tried hard to make us happy. The breakfast room had empty boxes lying around and was very sparse. This was fine for us, the full English breakfast was very nice. We were in the only room with a king size bed - it was dated but ok. Well it was ok until the last night when we found bed bugs and when I looked under the bed it wa hollow where drawers had been and I could clearly see bed bug casings in the bottom. The following morning we went down to breakfast earlier than normal as it was our last night and sat there for nearly half an hour before anyone came to serve us and by now the b n b was full. A man did pop in after about 20 mins to say someone was coming. Finally a lady arrived who is the other owner Yuki. She got straight on with serving with no apology. The breakfast this time was disappointing. At check out I advised her of what we had found, she apologised and said she had ordered a new bed and carpet but they hadn’t arrived. This rather spoilt our overall stay, wouldn’t return

friendly Staff, decent breakfast. But no vending machine or late shops for snacks.

The property was not well kept and the staff didn’t speak a lot of English. In the morning there were their kids talking loudly and on 1 day, I was working up to loud angry talking. Back yard not usable and garbage in front entrance piled about 4 ft high. On last morning they unlocked and started to open our door without knocking- I was nude, not impressed

Lovely wee B&B thank you close to city centre too

Austere and very formal, quite antiquated. Room was - and felt - cold. Service was pleasant but slow. Good location - lots of parking. Ok as a BnB but I can't really recommend.
