2 stars Hotels in Edinburgh

Nice sympathetically converted Georgian townhouse close (walking distance) to Edinburgh city centre, Holyrood, Botanic Gardens and other sights. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast provided was good . Room comfortable but only downside was no hot water in the hand basin (no fun shaving in cold water ... the kettle was the saving grace!!) Loved the place !

nice hotel,reception staff very friendly.great breakfast where you can eat all you want.

We enjoyed our stay at the Cairn. The hotel was a tad dated and worn, but our room was clean and very quiet. The hotel personnel were very pleasant. The restaurant next door was quite nice, and Eric, the proprietor was most gracious and friendly. The walk from the train station was manageable with our small bags.

It was perfect for us as we were doing the Edinburgh marathon and this was 100m from the start line! Perfect! The owner couldn't do enough for us and put on a special pre-marathon breakfast for us super early which was great. The location to sight see would have also been perfect had we not been running the marathon. Free wifi was also a nice touch. Perfect!! Will be back next time I come to Edinburgh with my wife!

The hotel rooms are simple, but clean. Completely in line with what you are paying. The breakfast on the other hand... every day fresh fruit and there is a small a la cart menu for hot food. This breakfast is more in line with a 5 star hotel. The hotel itself is situated on an ideal place for visiting the main attractions. Everything is within walking distance. The staff is super helpful and super friendly. Really enjoyed my stay. I work for Expedia myself, so I have seen hundreds of hotels. This hotel is definitely the best pick within his category.

I was a bit concerned about the hotel as most places were booked for the golf weekend. However, the bed & breakfast was very warm and accommodative. We stayed 3 nights - 2 on the ground floor (1st post) and 1 in the Windsor Castle. Stephen, the manager is a super guy. The cook Harry makes an excellent breakfast and wouldn't stop brewing hot tea for us! Very nice to to the city by the gardens and other shops and stores. A pity that Edinburgh seems to be in construction due to the tramway . Guards is also right next to the Haymarket rail station. That was really convenient to hop on a train for Glasgow. Feel free to ask the hotel about any special requests and they can find a solution - we got ourselves an iphone charger, baggage storage when we went to the Highlands for a few days.

Arrived early and phoned throught to check if we could drop bags. Very friendly welcome and we were able to go into our room straight away. Three single beds which makes a nice change in a triple room with one of the beds in a little annex. Bathroom small but adequete...plenty of towels. No hairdryer, but one provided easily upon request. PLentiful supply of milk, tea and coffee which is also a welcome change. We were staying to visit the Playhouse and couldn't have chosen a better location....just round the corner.

Made very welcome, beautiful room and ensuite. Good room facilities with tea, coffee and biscuits supplied. Amazing full Scottish breakfast.

Very clean, the owners are very friendly and the breakfast is delicious!!
