We were greeted by a large overflowing cigarette butt holder alongside the front steps and check-in took twenty minutes as the receptionist, despite being very courteous, was not capable of dealing with the five pairs of guests arriving at the check-in time with Fawlty Towers being referred to by one couple! Our room in the attic was not what was expected and unheated. The poorly fitting sash windows covered by curtains which most probably were new thirty years ago and not falling apart then were stuck partially open. The number for night service remained unanswered and the heating was not repaired as promised the following day. A fan heater had to be requested as none had been provided. The hot water eventually arrived in the en-suite basin after three-four minutes minimum of waiting. The young Scottish front of house gentleman at breakfast despite being courteous and very helpful struggled to cope with incorrect breakfast orders from kitchen staff despite pre-ordering the meals the previous evening. It makes little sense as to how that is possible? From our experience- which may well be different to others-the new owner of the Guest House has much to do in order to maintain its previous Reviewer ratings. We will return to Edinburgh as we enjoyed what this unique city has to offer and the very approachable and helpful locals. We will not, however, even consider this property. Expedia have not shown due diligence with reference to this listing

Great location
Really good location for getting in and out of Edinburgh. Clean, big rooms and attentive staff. Maybe needs a bit of updating in terms of decor but can't fault it otherwise.

Grand Scottish Lodge
Thos is a real character property - if you want immaculate and regularly refurbed, it's not for you. However, if you like a grand drawing room to relax in, beautiful Victorian original architectural features, high ceilings and extremely comfy beds, it is. Lewis, the house manager, is great, and will help you make the most of your stay. You're a 25 minute walk from the centre, but there are regular busses, and the free carparking is the upside.

This was not a luxury property. We received 1 terry cloth towel, each, and that was the only towel we received during our 3 day stay. Even when our room was serviced, we didn't receive fresh towels, or a hand towel or face cloth. The bathtub faucet was broken and the room was hot during the entire stay. Staff was OK, but certainly didn't go out of their way to make our stay memorable. I wouldn't recommend
