Allison House 17

It was easy checking in with the lock box. No problems.

We went there as a couple and found out that they hadn’t even changed the bedsheets. Due dirty bedsheets me and my wife we both got the allergic reaction. Next day we complained them and got it changed. Secondly we booked a queen bedroom and in pictures they showed one bed but when we got there they had made it one bed by joining two single beds so it wasn’t even a queen bedroom for which we paid. On our complaints they said talk to hotel.com because we cant do anything about this we are fully booked now. Thirdly, the wifi was so bad it never worked, it was so slow literally we used to wait for hours for anything to load as there was no signal bars in our room. Forthly they advertised as they have free on site parking but when we reached there they told us they dont provide free parking and we told us to park in the next street. Basically our experience was so bad with them and they were so unprofessional that literally ruined our vacation.

Such a lovely stay in this beautiful guest hotel! It had such a lovely home feeling. Very budget friendly and walkable distance to the city. If I were to make any suggestion I would say it would have been helpful to have a mini refrigerator with a microwave for meals.

Nice apartment/Room

Had a wonderful stay .

Location is great; we walked in to the city centre in 30 mins and there are lots of restaurants, coffee shops, etc on the way. You can easily hop on the bus right outside for a small fare. If there is no space available on the driveway then there are many residential streets just over the road where you can find parking. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean which is all we needed. The price you pay for a convenient location is being on a very busy noisy main road which may bother you if you’re a light sleeper. The place could do with some updating but it’s perfectly fine for a place to rest during a city break. Would stay again.

OK but pretty basic. Bed could have been cleaner.

It was a good place to stay, but the window wasn't at all keeping the cold outside. With the heater at is max it was still cold in the room. Otherwise it's well situated, bus stop at 1mn, 30mn from the city center by foots. Relatively calm at night. The place look old and would need a bit of work.

Room was clean. Shower could be better but I was on the 3rd floor so water pressure could be affected. Nice view of Arthur seat.

It was perfect. Big room with lots of nice little touches. Bed and bedding were comfortable. Bus right across the street. 20 minute walk to the university. I would definately book again. Highly recommended.

While the hotel is situated close to the centre of Edinburgh this is where the positives begin and end. We booked a standard room anticipating an en-suite only to discover we had the only room whose bathroom was situated on the landing (and included a complimentary pubic hair courtesy of another guest no doubt), leaving us dashing from the shower - wearing only a towel - to the room. There being no staff on hand to speak to, we were unable to change room and were left feeling rather disappointed.

In my opinion, there were two drawbacks to this property. First, there is no one on the property to answer questions or offer advice. Not even a phone number. They don't offer breakfast and we did not see any place in the area to get breakfast. And there was no one who could advise us which direction to go to get food. Second, our room was on the top floor (three levels up) and there is no elevator. We are in our late 70s and dragging luggage for 30 days. Not their problem, but it would have been helpful to know before arriving. On the positive side, the room was clean, spacious and felt very safe. There is a City bus stop directly across the street from the hotel. We had dinner at an Indian restaurant near the hotel. It was excellent!

Well-kept hotel a pretty short walk from Edinburgh City Centre and convenient for Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat.

Nice property. Easy access to buses downtown.

Very nice place to stay for two nights. Bus to the city centre just outside the hotel.

Very clean and very nice!! Spacious. Close to a bus stop to get to the City Centre

The hotel represents good value for money. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed and linen of excellent quality.

Very old

We liked the recommendation of the Wee Cafe for breakfast and some of the other eating places in the area. The facility was great, large room, veery quiet, good location for everything. Thank you

Liked cleanliness of room. Location. Did not like how worn looking the property was both inside and outside.
