I have never stayed at a worse B and B. It could be so nice if it was clean and cared for. Could only stay in room for 20 minutes. There were cushions on the window which were damp, mouldy and dirty. Damp walls, musty smell.. Broken lights hanging off the wall.. I can do basic hotels.. this was just... more

Everything about Minto House, from the friendly smile of the owner to the ideal central location, contributed to making our stay in Edinburgh a delightful experience.

We were pleasantly surprised with our choice because on our last trip to Edinburgh... more

Minto guest house is a poor excuse for a B & B and an enbarrassment to the hospitality industry. Not only are the rooms tired, run down and in some places filthy, but many essential items in the rooms don't even work. In ours the bedside lamp, the TV and a bed that sagged so badly in the middle it... more

Tired, tatty and unappealing was our first impression of Minto Guest House and we were not disappointed. We were greeted with an overgrown front garden.
