What people say
We were celedrating our 5th wedding anniversary so had a superior 4 poster bed room which was superb. Everything we wanted and more. We had fresh towels every day even though we didn;t ask for them. The bed was King Size and very comfy. Lovely complimentary bath, hair and body lotions. Good supply of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and shortbread. Breakfast was smashing-everthing you wanted. all reviews »
Pretty close to the heart of Edinburgh but still nice and peaceful. Staff were excellent, very friendly and professional. Hotel itself is clean and well looked after, the furnishings look well kept and loving the Molton Brown goodies in the bathroom! Really good value for money. Everything, it was a lovely hotel that was even nicer than I had hoped. For train travellers I would suggest they get on and off at Haymarket rather than Waverley station if possible as it is so much nearer the hotel. Lovely stay I was sorry it was only for one night. The staff were extremely helpful and allowed us to check in at 12 o clock rather than the three o clock stated on the website. The room was ready at 12 and was extremely clean and tidy.The atmosphere of this hotel is second to none. Personal service and attention is assured. Staff are courteous and attentive.

To be honest it is further than the ten minutes walk but it is a lovely, easy walk, very easy to find the center, also there is a bus stop right outside and the hotel will happily book a taxi for you.Absolutely nothing beautiful hotel a victorian gem!!!!!!. Breakfast was not hot. Disappointing and at odds with the level of service in all other areas, Was not asked on arrival if I wanted a newspaper and an alarm call.The toileteries were not replaced even when emptied. NO we had a great stay at this hotel. would recommend it to anyone.Overpriced by about 25%. In our room the windows did not open.Hot water too hot - scalding!. The breakfast quality could have been better - it appeared that the bacon etc was deep fried and there was no refil of coffee offered and no staff in dining room to ask. poor design of en suite. rooms too small and dull decor. The draught beer in the bar [however the bottles of Northern Light were very good]. I accidentally left my mobile phone in my room but following my departure it could not be found, which I thought was strange as it did not leave the room during my stay, so I can only presume that the phone was taken from the room during our stay or has not been found due to insufficient cleaning/ tidying. Disappointing.The room was very small. The breakfast no included. Pillows need replacing as they are flat and uncomfortable. The hotel internally required renovation to improve its appearance.Only criticism is that the bathroom was cheap and cramped and not in keeping with room and rest of the hotel. The first night we paid quite a lot for a very small room. Climbing stairs.

Hotel information details
Dunstane House was built in 1852 to the design of the famous architect William Playfair, who also designed the nearby Donaldsons' College for the Deaf. Originally Dunstane Villa, as it was first named, was the private residence of the Ross family, famous for their Edinburgh Castle Rock and other confectionery produced in Scotland. The bandstand in Princes Street gardens takes its name from the family. Our Edinburgh Hotel retains its Victorian architectural grandeur which, combined with an intimate country house atmosphere, ensures our guests leave with lasting memories of Dunstane. Crow step gables, archers' windows and ornate open fireplaces give Dunstane the atmosphere of a small castle.
