I spent 9 days at the beautiful Dunstane House Hotel in the lovely room 3. Very large and cozy room with a gigantic four poster bed and plenty of space for my yoga mat. The staff was very friendly all the time, this is not a luxury hotel, but I prefer the atmosphere of this kind of small but comfortable... More

I selected this hotel for a 2 night business stay on the basis of previous positive reviews. All I can say is all the positive press is absolutely correct, I cant recommend Dunstane highly enough. If you are sick and tired of poor service then this is like a breath of fresh air !! (I arrived at 10 a.m after... More

A pleasant few days spent here. Only three bus stops away from city centre. Room was a bit on the small size, particularly the bathroom, but it was manageable. Staff were very pleasant. The young man in Skerries each evening, who's name I didn't manage to get, was really great. Very attentive. Breakfasts excellent. Beds comfy. Can definitely recommend this... More

This is certainly the finest hotel I've been to in a long time. With 21 rooms, this offers the most personal service you could ever hope for. Great quality from start to finish. The restaurant took us by surprise. We dined for 3 nights in the restaurant because it was such good food, and the pricing demonstrated 'good value for... More

This hotel is hardly 10 minutes away by bus from the city center like Prince's Street and well-connected by various bus services. From the Haymarket rail station it is at a walking distance of 5-10 minutes. There are buses for Rosslyn Chapel from bus stops nearby. We stayed here for 2 nights and lives upto its claims.

We booked the hotel for our honeymoon from reading the reviews and was not disappointed. We were upgraded to a deluxe room at no extra cost and had a lovely 'congratulations' card left in the room. The hotel is beautiful, the décor in the bar/restaurant is classic chic. All the staff are welcoming & friendly. We ate in the restaurant... More

Many favourable features warrant a 4 star rating. Lovely property, very well fitted out and maintained, good staff, good food. However if you are in a standard double room and expect something more than a glorified single with little natural light watch out! My issue with this is firstly that the rooms are not cheap, and secondly that I expect... More
