IF YOU, LIKE US, LIKE TO HAVE A PRIVATE BATH AND TOILET ALL TO OURSELVES. YOU BETTER ASK THE OWNER BEFORE CHECKING IN. BUT WE WERE DRIVING A CAR SO I HAD CLICKED ON HOTELS.COM FOR "FREE PARKING". THAT TO ME MEANS THAT FREE PARKING IS AVAILABLE TO USE TO PARK IN. NO WAY AT THIS PLACE....THE OWNER SAID "YOU HAVE FREE PARKING ON THE STREETS IF YOU CAN FIND A PLACE FOR YOURSELF." GEE...THANKS....HE KNEW I HAD A CAR BUT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT MY PROBLEM TO PARK THE CAR! ALSO...HE KNEW I HAD A CAR BUT ...HE NEVER REMINDED ME THAT EDINBURGH CASTEL IS ABOUT A 30 MINUTE WALK...WALK....WALK..FROM THE PROPERTY. SO I SPENT TIME AND MONEY AS "SWEAT AND TEARS" TO DRIVE MY CAR TO THE EDINBROUGH CASTEL AND FIND A DIFFICULT TO FIND PARKING SPOT! AND I HAD JUST SPOKEN WITH THE OWNER...AND HE NEVER INFORMED ME THAT I COULD HAVE LEFT MY CAR PARKED IN ONE OF THE PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF THE PLACE! NOT GOOD SERVICE...??? WHEN WE RETURNED IN THE EVENING I DID FIND ON MY OWN A PARKING SPACE AROUND THE CORNER. BYE THE WAY....ALL...ALL...ALL CARS ON THE STREET MUST...MUST...MUST...BE MOVED FROM ABOUT 10 AM TO 1PM...VERY INCONVENIENT IF YOU ARE DRIVING. ##### John W Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jasmin, Vancouver 23 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The owners are very kind and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay here. ##### Jasmin Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Esben Grønborg 7 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet hotel not far from center. The host was very helpful and provided good service. The beds vere nice. Our room was facing a quiet garden with a nice view, no noise from the road at the other side. Edinburgh center was in acceptable walking distance about half an hour. There was no breakfast served at the hotel, but the host suggested several nearby places - we chose Beetroot Sauvage a very nice vegan cafe. ##### Esben Grønborg Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline-ann 11 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Capital House, not Capital Guest House Capital House is actually an additional business next door to capital guest house and I think there is an issue with reviews being given on the wrong property. Capital House does not offer breakfast of any kind but that suited us. I was looking for somewhere to stay between the 2 uni campuses and this was perfect. Also on a direct bus route to the centre and train station. It is an old building but the room was clean and comfortable with enough room and storage space for the 2 of us and a view of Arthur's Seat. A kettle and plenty of tea and coffee was provided as well as biscuits and 2 comfortable chairs. We had a private bathroom across the landing and up a few stairs. This was also roomy and clean but I would have preferred it to be lockable from outside so it was only accessible to guests in the room it was intended for. The couple running the guest house are very friendly and extremely helpful; the lady of the house even offered us a wheeled suitcase on departure as our carry bag was heavy to carry around on our last day. We were also offered the option of leaving our luggage until it was time to catch our train. I would not hesitate to recommend this guest house, although, due to the age of the building and the stairs involved, it is probably not suitable for those with mobility issues. ##### Jacqueline-ann Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 Jan 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### alloggio a buon prezzo alloggio con buon rapporto qualità-prezzo in zona della città a poca distanza dal centro ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Airport.h520429.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Edinburgh.h15710648.Hotel-Information) > > [Edinburgh Marriott Hotel Holyrood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Macdonald-Holyrood-Hotel-And-Spa.h546065.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh.h664615.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Edinburgh.h3516.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Park.h1781324.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Edinburgh.h4533.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Edinburgh.h9131632.Hotel-Information) > > [Virgin Hotels Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Virgin-Hotels-Edinburgh.h74635444.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h518686.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Fountainbridge.h64450784.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-Airport.h84014.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-YOTEL-Edinburgh.h36667881.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-West-End.h19288210.Hotel-Information)
