If you are looking for an inexpensive, yet clean and comfortable place to stay while visiting Edinburgh, look no further than Lantern House. My boyfriend and I are mature students, and were searching for an affordable place to stay in the city centre, but did not want to stay in a hostel. We stumbled across Lantern House on Tripadvisor, and... More

I visited Edinburgh for a show and booked into the Lantern House. On arrival the outside of the building looks OK, nothing too special but its fine. Entering the building reminded me of an old lifeless house, white walls, no pictures and no character. I was a little confused as we had to let ourselves in to the building and... More

We couldn't get out quick enough. The welcome was awkward and when we got into our room it was nothing like the pictures online. The room was still dirty with the bed sheets having marks on them and the bathroom not cleaned to the best of its ability. No sooner did we check in were we looking for another room... More

What a lovely little place this is! The location, price and room were lovely and we were very happy to stay there for 3 nights last week. Wish I could give a five but the welcome was underwhelming to say the least (we didnt even get a hello from the girl who opened the door) but this wouldnt stop us... More

Situated in a quiet street, yards from 2 major bus routes in Edinburgh and close to bars and restaurants. We had one of the basement rooms, it was quite small but adequate for our needs and was clean, warm and comfortably furnished with extra bedding available if we needed it. The only down side for me was that the wifi... More

I stayed here for 3 nights, and it was a really great, family owned hotel. For people who travel on a budget, this affordable hotel is well worth the prize. Located nearby the Omni Center, it's situated only 5 minutes from Edinburghs city center. Many nice restaurants nearby also. I would stay here again.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days at the end of November/beginning of December. The price was UNBEATABLE (£203 total for 2 people staying 5 nights) for only a 10 minute walk from Princes Street. We stayed in the smaller Lower Back Ground room, which was quiet, cosy and warm. The window peeks out onto a small stone... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Lantern House during our recent long weekend away and the accomodation was exactly what we needed. We stayed in the large lower ground double room which had plenty of space and was toasty warm on arrival. I recommend asking for this larger room if given the choice, as our friends stayed in the...

We stayed here for 6 nights. Our room was on the ground floor at the back of the building. It was small and fairly basic, but clean, quiet and warm. It was a great base for exploring Edinburgh - close to the new town for shopping and only about 15-20 minutes walk from the old town for all the wonderful... More
