Dorstan House

Lovely place to stay. Friendly owners. Very clean. Tasty breakfast delivered to your room. Would highly recommend.

Very nice stay, good service, nice location

Wonderful quiet and cosy guesthouse, twin suite was ideal for two travellers. Simple but complete breakfast served in the morning to your room. Convenient to get to Cowsgate and central, both very walkable and easy access to get to by bus if travelling with luggage.

Perfect and not expensive property in Edinburgh. Private parking, good breakfast. Just 10 minutes by bus to the city center.

Great place to stay .lovely owners carnt do enough .thank you . 5 stsrs .

Very clean and quiet in a nice neighborhood just off Arthur’s Seat. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Room was very small. No interaction with staff. Location was good. Easy to get into city center.

Flying visit -easy check in and comfy bed. Lovely breakfast. Even although we arrived late there was still a parking space! Great value

Rent, pænt og velholdt

Our party of 4 had spacious rooms. They were exceptionally clean. And there was a wide variety and hearty enough options for the continental breakfast to tide us over until lunchtime. Close to the bus stops. Would definitely stay there again & highly recommend.

Make sure you read the email they send. Great stay, no issues.

Appreciated the ease of check-in and convenience of the location. Quiet and clean. Full continental breakfast options before 8:00 would be appreciated.

Quaint. Convenient. Clean. Froendly.

Excellent location and very clean and comfortable.

Très bon séjour, quartier calme. Les murs des chambres sont assez fins mais les voyageurs sont respectueux. Le choix pour le petit déjeuner est plus que bien

I really liked the quieter location of the accomodation, the owners were so friendly, and the breakfast every modning was really good. The rooms were a bit noisy though.

I stayed for 2 nights. Delighted to see they provided real coffee and slippers. Its the little things. Host was very charming. I felt safe and comfortable. Bed was cosy. Breakfast was delicious. No complaints!

Bonjour, j’ai passé un agréable séjour au sein de Dorstan house. La chambre correspondait à la description en ligne, était propre ainsi que la salle de bain. Possibilité de choisir la veille son petit déjeuner : boisson, sucré, salé… Celui-ci a été servi par Richard qui sait se montrer à la fois discret, à l’écoute et souriant. L’établissement est un peu excentré mais rien d’insurmontable pour qui aime marcher comme moi et pour ceux qui apprécient moins l’arrêt de bus est très proche (3 minutes).

I had to check out early due to health issues (my dust mites allergy reacted very strongly to the carpeted floor in my room) so I can only judge 1 night and 1 day. The room I received (small ensuite) was as seen on the pictures, but I personally felt less comfortable with the outdated design than I originally thought. Just a personal thing. It was spotless aside from the sink which had rusty spots (due to its age, I assume). The bed was small but big enough for one person and comfortable. Breakfast was great and the room had a nice little coffee and tea station with some biscuits which I appreciated. The short interaction with Richard while receiving the breakfast was also nice and friendly. However, a HUGE downside for me was that, while the area of the hotel is really quiet and you hear little noise from outside, the walls of the rooms seem to be paper thin because I could hear everything from my neighbors. The door to the room doesn’t fully close (about 1cm gap between door and door frame) which doesn’t help either so I constantly felt like I was being watched and under observation which didn’t allow for any relaxation. But this might just be me as a very private person. Additionally, the gap in the door as well as the curtains didn’t do much for blocking out the light. A sleeping mask is necessary if you need darkness to sleep in any way.

The breakfast each morning was excellent with fresh cut up fruit and a choice of delicious croissants. Plenty of hot water in the shower.
