The stuff was very friendly! But the room was cold and the breakfast was terrible. Its not worth the money. The area was good a nice walk to the center of Edinburgh took about 20 minutes or catch a bus. Lots of good resturants and bars near the hotel.

When you arrive there is free parking on the drive which is an absolute godsend in Edinburgh, key safe with your key (code texted previously) we were on first floor with an en-suite room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was lovely just enough of everything, no complaints at all , overall for the money we paid I would definitely recommend staying here . Thank you for a stress free break away

Lovely room with a sink and cute interior. The lady who made us breakfast was amazing. Every morning she was very cheerful and kind to us. A good selection of breakfast in the mornings as well Also very close to the city centre so that was a nice plus

The Ben Doran is a 300 year old mansion converted to a hotel. The ceilings are like 16 feet tall. The walls are really thick. So it is really quiet. The owners and personnel are so nice and friendly. Odette is a sweetheart. The location is awesome. You can walk if you want or take a bus from close by or uber. Loved our stay!!

Great location, we did catch a taxi into town as it was raining and we didn't really know where we were going. We did find a great pub in the next block for dinner on both nights. Our accommodation was nice, we had the executive double room. Breakfast is sufficient. Clean room.

Massively overpriced for what was a very dated room with shared bathroom, very impersonal as no reception just a voice through an intercom and quite frankly terrible breakfast (cooked hours before, no choice, long life croissants in plastic packaging, Room keys from safes at front door with rather obvious codes.

Great B&B in old Edinburgh mansion. Great hot breakfast and super friendly staff ( Odette was engaging, charming and very helpful).
Not glamorous but highly recommended.
