Stayed at this guesthouse after visiting many other b & bs around England, Ireland and Scotland on a 7 week trip from Australia. Most disappointing place we stayed in. Arrived 1 hour earlier than anticipated because traffic was light, and had to ring to be let into front door, then was asked 'I guess you want a cooked breakfast' when... More

I recently stayed at the MW Townhouse and had a decent experience here. The staff was helpful and friendly even though we rarely saw them. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great and the staff was very attentive. As far as location it is not in the city center but is about a 15 min walk. The... More

The bed was comfortable and it was good to have parking but felt that just the minimum was done in order to attain a 4 star rating which I felt was not deserved. Usually payment is made at the end of the stay but the payment was taken by visa on booking. Hence when the stay was sortened by a... More

Very very friendly owners; parking behind the B&B; clean and well furnished rooms; a 10 min. walk to the city center; also buses nearby; if we could, we will give 12 points from the Netherlands!! More

My family and I were very excited about staying in this hotel after looking at its website. We were expecting a very modern guest house and although the entrance area and dining areas were acceptable, our family room was very disappointing. The room was clearly in need of a revamp and our family room consisted of a double bed and... More

Having had a very poor experience the last time we stayed in Edinburgh (see other review) we went for the promise of "modern, stylish and contemporary Bed and Breakfast accommodation with private parking facilities, luxurious standards of comfort, a friendly service and a hearty breakfast." We feel the owner needs to be made aware of the Trade Descriptions Act! The... More

My husband, daughter and I spent three nights in this hotel. The interior is modern and the common areas are clean. The breakfast is good, but I agree with the other reviewers that the hours could be extended beyond just one hour. The major thing they need to work on is housekeeping for the individual rooms. We received very few,... More

I booked based on the location, my room was a closet with a window. It is on a corner of a busy street so you cannot sleep or watch TV with the windows open. Breakfast is 8:00 - 9:00 ONLY, cute Polish girls serving was a good point. Not really worth the money, shop around as there are a LOT... More
