OYO Arden Guest House, Craigmillar Castle Edinburgh

Bathroom a bit on the small side but a minor problem

I try to review hotels for the price point they cater to, and for the money this cost (and on the Jubilee Weekend too!) this exceeded expectations; the room was fine, the ensuite was perfectly serviceable, the bed comfy enough etc. Special mention to the staff who are very friendly and helpful. This is a perfect cheap place to crash for a night or two.

While levels of cleanliness were generally fine, the bathroom was a bit tired. Ordinary folk probably wouldn't think anything of it, particularly for the price point, but if you're a clean freak you probably should look elsewhere.

The Room was a little small to two above average weight people. Breakfast was adequate although there was no full scottish breakfast The bathroom was very small the information on the website and the brochure was confusing e.g. website states £100 in cash damage deposit required but it was not asked for. Wifi in brochure says no pass key required but info sent by owners gives password. The staffwere all very friendly and helpful. For a budget accomodation I would recommend it.

Lovely breakfast nice room the first night was peaceful the second night got woke up at 3am in morning by the guest which were in the next two rooms shouting banging swearing in and out of each others rooms up and downstairs in and out on street making noise the smoke alarms keep going off and the smell of cannabis in hall this went on all night no staff came to ask them to be quite and have respect for other guests

As above the lack of respect from other guests

nice clean room and comfortable

breakfast was a terrible could not get a cup of tea all the food had been eaten by 2 greedy German familys.Complained to waitress but made out she did not understand and gave me apot of hot water?

We chose Arden Guest House due to its proximity to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, which is a 10 minute walk away. The room was comfortable with everything you need for a short stay, 3 days in our case. There is parking to the front and rear of the property. On the last night of our stay we ordered food to be delivered the guest house which the staff allowed us to eat in the breakfast room.

There is not a lot to dislike about the location or the property. The decor could do with a freshen up.

Good sized room for 4 adults, comfortable beds, nice and clean, with private bathroom. Good location with bus stop nearby for travel to Edinburgh city centre (about 30 minutes).

Breakfast was very basic and not much choice, but still fairly good for a budget hotel.

Room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was small but had good shower and was clean, and had complimentary toiletries. Lots of tea, coffee and biscuits which was a nice touch. We never saw the staff as spoke with them over messages and were given a code to enter the guesthouse and instructions on where to find keys. Really straightforward which suited us. Would come again as great value for money.

The room was clean and comfortable, but feel it was a bit dated. Just needed a lick of paint and new carpet. TV was a bit on the small side and we lost the signal a few times.

Host is very friendly, great communication and very accommodating to request. Nice quite area, close to the city centre. Bus links from outside the accommodation straight to Edinburgh city centre which is very handy. Pictures true to what rooms are like. Lovely stay overall

Nothing

The beds, pillows and linen were really comfortable and we slept well. Towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel were supplied and the shower was a nice temperature and easy to work. Our hosts were lovely and there if we needed them. There was a nice continental breakfast with a decent amount to choose from.

The stair carpet needs to be replaced.
