Stayed here with my girlfriend and our two mums and had a very pleasant time. Our double room at the back of the hotel was great, the bed VERY comfortable and overlooking the beautiful back garden. Our mums had a lovely big twin room just across from ours. The staff were very nice and the breakfasts were very good. more

Allison House is not really a hotel, more a boarding house having only a breakfast room and no lounge or restaurant. It does provide good coffee and a nice touch is the sherry and whiskey decanters in the room. We were at the top of the building and the water pressure was quite poor and the water never really hot.... more

A charming hotel with delicious breakfast included. The room was spacious although the bathroom was tiny. The staff was very helpful with directions and recommendations, and the location is right on the bus route into Edinburgh. We took a taxi back from the Royal Mile for about 5 Euros. more

Allison House is a great place to stay. Rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast was cooked to perfection with all the traditional accompaniments to eggs and porridge. Cold cereals, yogurt, an array of fresh fruit and cheese were also available. And they included a very nice touch: two small flasks of Scotch were in the room as a welcoming to... more

This lovely B&B is on a frequent bus route within about 10 mins to the centre of Edinburgh. The owners are delightful and no effort is spared to make your stay pleasant. The rooms were of a traditional style, clean and obviously recently refurbished. The bathroom was small, but more than adequate. Delightfully a portion of whiskey and one of... more

Allison House is a welcoming place to stay, with a number of nice touches which set it apart from other guest accommodation. Examples of this were the complimentary sherry and whiskey in our room, the beautiful fresh fruit salad buffet at breakfast, and th free use of a computer as well as wifi access. Our room was spacious and nicely... more

We stayed here recently and the room and the gentleman who served breakfast and helped us check out was lovely. The food was great. The only tihng i would say is that it is a little out of town and if you had any disabilities the hotel does not have a lift and getting to the top floor with a... more

I stayed at the Allison House Hotel for 4 nights within the framework of an academic conference. First, the pluses: 1. Located within an easy walk of the University of Edinburgh 2. Despite being on a busy thoroughfare (lots of buses- easy access to town), no street noise whatsoever penetrates the rooms overlooking the garden. 3. The building itself is... more
