The staff was exceptional—very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Their professionalism and welcoming attitude made my stay truly pleasant. The location is excellent, situated right next to a public transport stop, making it convenient for exploring the city. The room was cozy, clean, and everything functioned as expected. In terms of value for money, the accommodation exceeded my expectations. Another highlight was the breakfast, which was delicious and varied, featuring eggs, beans, bacon, hash browns, mushrooms, fresh fruit, pastries, and a selection of drinks such as coffee, tea, and juices.

The only downside was the lack of heating in the bathroom. Since the ventilation leads directly outside, the bathroom could get quite cold. Additionally, the sink had separate taps for hot and cold water, positioned about 15 cm apart, which made it somewhat inconvenient to use.

Great location, close to haymarket station and the EICC(20 minutes walk). Also lots of shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood to get some food. You are in the city, but still have the rest of a little town. I loved the kingsize bed and the mattress was perfect. Nice to have a fridge to put some food in. The owner was really kind and helped me with my luggage. They were always available for questions What i also loved was the old character of the house. I had a little window seat and beautiful high ceilings.

It was a little struggle with the stairs, also to get into the hotel, but i new that beforehand. So not a really negative point to add.

Location - 15 to 20 min walk from Princess St or buses Airlink 100 ( to and from airport) or 12 towards Grassmarket (with a few mins walk) if want to go towards the Royal Mile. Dont miss the view from the Vennel at Grassmarket! Very clean room Exceptional bed, matress, beddings 5*. Everything thought of carefully to add charm and quality. We loved the feature wall😊 Large fridge, tea, coffee, biscuit Shower with shampoo, conditioner, bodywash. Hot water! Towels changed daily. Mirror with sensor light. Room vacuumed and tidied

The staff were all very kind and helpful, and the room was clean and well-kept. David, the manager, was especially friendly and courteous, which made the stay even more pleasant. Breakfast was tasty and a great start to the day.

I may have overlooked some details when booking, but I hadn’t realised the room didn’t have a standard window—there was only a skylight, so we didn’t have a view of the lovely garden. The sink also had separate taps for hot and cold water, which made it a bit tricky to use comfortably.

The Lodge is situated west of the town centre and takes about 25 minutes to walk in although there is plenty of public transport right outside the door. We were lucky and got one of the parking spaces at the back of the property but there was plenty of street parking at the side. The Lodge was very clean, well equipped and our host, Dave, was fantastic. Our room was spacious with a small ensuite. Breakfast was excellent - lots to choose from both hot and cold. Lovely local pub 5 mins down the road towards Murrayfield.

Nothing!

The staff were exceptional and breakfast was lovely (although at an additional cost). The location was excellent, only a short walk of around 20 minutes into the center of Edinburgh. There was a shop just down the road (about 5 minutes walk) and also a couple of pubs further down. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Tea and coffee was provided in the rooms (milk in the fridge - we didn't find it on the first night) as well as a hair dryer. The rooms were warm and inviting. David the site manager gave us very clear instructions before we arrived. He was there to greet us, then showed us to our room and proceeded to inform us of anything we needed to know. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, gave us advice on areas of interest and places further afield that we could visit. He then spoke to us the next day, asked us how we were getting on and if there was anything else we needed. I cannot fault the welcome that we received or the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Excellent!

I went with my partner and parents and we all felt that the Guest House was lacking a bar/social area to sit before we went out or after we had returned from eating out. We had breakfast as an add on which was very well cooked but a little pricey at £12 per person. The en-suite shower room was also quite small and my partner struggled to move in the shower. Apart from that the Guest House is fantastic. We would certainly recommend to family and friends and would stay again without hesitation.

The manager David was extremely helpful and hospitable. He made sure the room was warm for our arrival and provided lots of useful advice re transport etc. our room was very comfortable - comfortable beds and a good shower. The room was a good size with nice touches such as an armchair, a towel rack, dressing table and tissues. The guest house is quiet - away from the noise and the bustle of the centre of Edinburgh but only a short bus ride from the city. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety to choose from.

Nothing.

The room was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for 2 people. I like that it has a small closet for clothes, a hair dryer and a luggage rack. The biscuits and beverages provided were thoughtful. The duty manager was available at all times and helpful with information on local transport. Being able to leave our luggage at the lodge after check-out was also a plus point.

Would have been helpful if the times when the heating is on are informed upon arrival. However the duty manager was very nice to give us an extra hour when we were still cold.

Duthus Lodge was located in a quieter part of Edinburgh, but still close enough to walk to the City Center (about 15-20 minutes) or take the bus, with stops less than a block away from the facility. The house itself is beautiful, and the room was comfortable and had everything we could have wanted. David, the manager, allowed us to store our luggage before our room was ready on the day we arrived and when we needed to pick up our car rental on the day we left. This allowed us to move more easily about the city without having to worry about securing our luggage.

I cannot really think of anything that I would say that would I didn't like. The location may not be for those who want to be in the midst of the city center, but we liked that we could escape from the crowds at the end of the day.

David is the gem of the lodge. My sister and I arrived with food poisoning very early in the morning and he managed to get us checked in 4 hours ahead of time. He was very caring and attentive. Checked in on us and gave some wonderful suggestions to see. The location of the lodge was wonderful (very calm but not far from Edinburgh old town). The rooms were clean and comfortable. Thank you again David!
