"Check in was not good. I traveled from a different country and needed wifi to get a code. I had to drive 5 miles to get to a friend to call the owners. The owners were in and out of service so they could only text.
When i finally got the proper code. It was 5 flights of steep stairs. It should have been told how many flights of stairs to go with a large suitcase."

Hotel was lovely, room was spacious and very clean. Owners were very nice and very helpful. Breakfast was fabulous. The owners could not do enough to help you enjoy your stay. Gave lots of information on the local area and would book restaurants etc if you asked. Highly recommend this hotel.

The visit was to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday and the staff were excellent.The evening meal we had for her birthday was very good together with the birthday cake which the management kindly purchased for me.

Amazing host, fantastic breakfast, brilliant old leather chair in room 1. Gareth, the owner couldn't do enough for us. He even gave us a bottle of prosecco for our wedding anniversary (see photo). Highly recommended

I spent quite a while looking for the best combination of location, reviews, appearance, price and convenience and must confess to having been a little sceptical of the high scores I found at such a modest cost. But I found that they are totally justified. I received an upgrade on arrival and my hosts could not have been more helpful, giving me information about places worth visiting, local transport and options of where to eat etc.

Even before arrival Hilary couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. We were able to check in a little early without any difficulties. The building was beautiful and the lovely open fire with complementary wine in the lounge was so relaxing. We stayed in the regent room which was really cosy with a huge comfortable bed. Breakfast was really nice too. A little walk from the station and princess street. It was definitely worthy of all the other fantastic reviews. We will definitely be...

Family room was big enough for 3 of us. There was a shower and small toilet and sink.
I have noticed that in the wardrobe they even had a cot (which we didn’t need). It’s very nice quirky room with small cupboards that our son absolutely loved.
Staff was absolutely brilliant. We arrived too early at 11am however our room was already ready and they gave us a key. No questions asked.
We lest our bags and went to museum of flight which is just few miles away.

Great stay. We arrived a bit early and the room was ready. Close to a tram stop or about a 30 min walk to princes street. Plenty of shops, cafes and bars nearby.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Dorstan. The B&B is an ideal location to explore Edinburgh being quiet & either a 20min walk or short bus ride to the city centre.
The owners were very helpful giving me a map to explore, offering suggestions of places to visit & answering any questions. Breakfast was also served promptly & with a smile.
My room was clean & tidy with fresh towels, bins emptied & tea/coffee replenished each day. Though I had a single room with no toilet or shower this was not...
