The Guesthouse looked new or it has been recently refurbished. Very powerful shower with a lot of water pressure, which I liked. Comfy bed and good size room and bathroom. The location is convenient and there are lots of bus connection links to the centre, which is not far anyway, someone could also walk if they fancy it! Only downside it was the complete lack of responses from the hosts that I tried to contact repeatedly beforehand. Even Expedia tried to contact them unsuccessfully. This should be improved, it's not good to ask questions and being completely ignored, especially because I was supposed to arrive in the evening and it was uncomfortable to think that nobody might not be there since there isn't a front desk at the property.

October half term
Stayed in Room 6 for 3 nights. As expected room did not have en-suite bathroom but has a separate private bathroom just for this room. Not a problem at all except the toilet got blocked but this was on the last day, and we have had a prompt response that it will be sorted shortly. Check in was smooth even with no front desk at the property. Overlooking a busy street but noise was from the traffic mainly which, again, was expected. Pillows are a bit uncomfortable but a minor issue. All in all decent stay at affordable rate (for Edinburgh in half term) at a walkable distance to the centre. 30 min walk or 10 min on bus. Well recommend it. Only one parking spot but there is a notice on the front door with guidance where to park.

Not a bad place to stay. Very helpful staff. Only downside was the room (6) needs redecorating, water stains on the ceiling and the tiling finish on the walls makes it look like a big bathroom! Has a separate, private bathroom, which was very nice, tho we prefer ensuite as it's a pain getting up in the night and creeping about trying not to disturb other guests. Had to be careful not to leave the keys in the bathroom as you need them to get back into the room.

Property is in poor condition, communication w managment poor. No email introduction as to what to expect on arriving. Rm 6, poor condition and very noisy. Rm 8 was in the back, quiet, worth the stay. Biilding is in poor condition, windows bad doors bad. Etc. No services close by, had to take a bus down town for coffee. No food on site. Thos prop does not deserve a 7 rating.

We arrived and were not let into the property. The proprietor was not at the property so we could not talk face to face. We were told no dogs were allowed although we had booked one. The proprietor said we could not have a refund. She also said that we would have to contact Expedia and promptly put the phone down. Leaving us in Edinburgh at 4pm with no accommodation and not a lot of money. The property had already taken our money £290. We were not allowed into the property so cannot comment on its condition only on proprietors attitude.

Due to a mix up with Expedia, this booking was supposed to be replaced by another but it was not cancelled. Even though we never stayed there the owner still charged us the full price and didnt even offer a partial discount.

Nice room... small, but more than enough for one person. Bathroom was very modern. Good TV options. Nice bed. No lobby. Only issue was manager was not there during check-in. It created an issue, but otherwise it was fine.

When I arrived, and rang the doorbell, I was connected though the intercom with someone, whom I had a very hard time understanding. The sound quality of the intercom connection was terrible. The person on the other end was apparently shouting as loud as she could, but still almost nothing was arriving at my end. I had no phone plan in the UK yet, had to activate my Canadian plan, and eventually was able to call her by phone to receive the information on how to access the building and my room. I wonder why they don't just sent an email as other places do. When I eventually entered my room, I figured that it hadn't been serviced. The bedding and towels were obviously from the previous occupant. I called the manager again, and she sent a person over who arrived about 30 min later and cleaned the room. So, my experience certainly wasn't particularly good.

Horrible experience.
A lady banged on the door at midnight asking for payment. They had my credit card on file and I offered to pay at check in. The staff did not speak English in an English speaking country. The worst experience ever. The rooms are extremely noisy.

Lovely and clean, didn’t see staff but key was left in secure lock and had mobile phone number of owner so this wasn’t an issue. We were really pleased with the room, all recently redecorated. 5 min bus ride into main centre or £10 in taxi. Would definitely stay again

Arrandale guest house provided a comfortable room and a good spot to rest your head. We stayed in room 6 which has a private bathroom, which was a bit dated but perfectly functional. Points added for a shower with good water pressure. Our room did smell a bit like cigarette smoke when we arrived but it disappeared after we aired out the room. It was most likely due to the smoking spot being right under the window. It’s easy to access centre of town on the bus, small downside is that it is a bit more of a residential area so things like restaurants/coffee shops etc are limited although lots can be accessed a very short bus ride away.

Didn’t actually get to stay due to: 1. Hotel took payment 16 days early as it was supposed to be pay at property. 2. No reply to calls or snails for 14 days with a question. 3. Finding out that parking is not included and it’s a free for all on the local streets that are mainly permit only. 4. Finding out there isn’t breakfast available if needed. 5. Finding out it’s an intercom system to okay find the key. All in all it wasn’t what it said it was when we booked.
