Despite phoning them in the early hours of the morning, The Ben Doran were able to accommodate us. We received a warm welcome and we were allocated the basement room which really is lovely. Huge room with really comfy bed, tea and coffee making facilities, TV, WI FI and en suite. It was perfect! Breakfast was very enjoyable and the... More

The rooms are clean but a little cramped and the decor felt very dated. We had a room on the front and so traffic noise was apparent through the night. The owners/ managers were very friendly and helpful. The guest house is in a good location, only 5 minutes by taxi to Waverly and has car parking which is a... More

We were looking a good base to explore Edinburgh and for this the Ben Doran was ideal for the price we wanted to pay. We were located on the top floor, our room was clean and benefited from an on suite (Some rooms have shared bathrooms). Our room would defiantly benefit from a renovation I would say the décor was...

We spent a very pleasant 4 nights at the Ben Doran, the rooms were large with enormous double beds and very clean. Tea and coffee facilities were on hand 24hrs just outside the rooms. The owner couldn't do enough to help, he was very attentive and very helpful. More

My room was beautiful - large and really nicely decorated and the bed was the comfiest I've ever sleep in! The staff there couldn't do enough to help - I had enquiries... More

Truely the most awful experience I have ever had. Where do I start, we we're told we had wifi when booking, was given a dirty top floor room which was beyond the reach of the wifi, had to sit on the stairs lower down for connection. Light did not work in shared bathroom and even when asked to sort nothing... More

This is the first time I have felt the need to write a review of this kind. Booked as a 2 night stay in a 4* hotel for my wife and I as part of our first visit to Scotland through Superbreak. As noted in many other reviews, this cannot be described as a hotel. It is an 11 room... More

Do not stay at this Guest House. It is not a four star guest house. Foul star yes! There is nothing nice about it. Our room was dark and dingy, the en suite dirty. The shower did not work properly nor did the water supply to the sink. The breakfast was appalling. Sadly we could not go anywhere else. We... More
