The Ben Doran

"We had a lovely 3 night stay in ediburgh which was our first ever trip into scotland. The hotel was amazing and a very nice property. The staff are brilliant and helpful and really look after you. The room was nice and big and clean and the on suite was nice too. The breakfast was nice and loads of options to choose from. Also parking was good. The hotel is in a very good spot to the city and with regular buses stopping outside too is a bonus as you can get on them to get into the city and other places to visit. I would defintely come back to ediburgh and stay again at this lovely hotel. Thank you for your hospitality during our stay."

"The location was excellent with buses every few minutes to get into the city centre. Although the bed was comfortable, the room was in need of an update. The ensuite was small & the shower cubicle itself was tiny, the shower door was flimsy & wouldn't stay shut at the bottom. The cooked breakfast was in pans for guests to help themselves. It was warm at best & the plates were cold. There were toast & cold buffet options. We paid over £900 for 3 nights in August (Edinburgh fringe festival time) we knew prices were higher at that time but it was not worth £900+."

"Found the guest house to be very dated. Wallpaper was dirty as behind the mirror was clean. The whole place had an odour which whilst not pungent its not inviting. Breakfast was about average. Staff were friendly and helpful. 20 mins walk to city center. Overall just average."
