I went to Edinburgh a couple of weeks before Christmas and booked the Ailsa Craig Hotel. When I arrived the two people who ran the B&B were very friendly. I was given a double room in the basement for 27 pounds a night. I was alone, so the space was quite nice. The bathroom was new and clean, and the... more

I was booked at this Hotel as part of a Scotland tour and then stayed on after the tour to see Edinburgh. The hotel is located well, although the bus stops are all at the bottom of a hill and require a tough walk uphill at the end of the day. My room was #2, in the basement. It was... more

The best thing about this hotel was the location. It was only a few minutes walk from Princes St and the station. Also the service was friendly.
