Castle View Guest House  

Very good location. Staff very friendly. Had requested a twin but they only had a double left. Brought us a spare bed.

Breakfast was poor. Reheated hard bacon and scrambled egg was a mess. Toast was warm bread.

Friendly helpful staff. The young man on duty carried our bags to room when we arrived,which was a great help as on top floor!! Good exercise :) breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Stayed with my mum for three nights and room was a good size with a double and single bed. Very good location and would stay again.

The bathroom was clean and modern, but the bedroom light was hanging by wires from the ceiling and everytime the room next door used the bathroom a water pump made an awful noise. The breakfast room is a bit of a tight squeeze when busy,

Staff were very helpful. Location is excellent, just between the two main shopping streets in Edinburgh. Nice view to the castle. Spacious and clean rooms. Very good breakfast.

The windows need renovation.

Great stay bit disapointing about limited space in dining room so were turned away at first but amazing breakfast more thn made up for it. Afamily room on smalls

Nicely designed modern rooms with a fantastic city centre location.

No parking.

room was large and in fine condition,catered very well for a family of 5

From arrival to departure the welcoming staff were always happy to help with a smile. The location was fantastic with amazing views of the castle and minute walk from Princes St. And George St. The wonderful array of shops were hard to resist. My daughter and I spent More than we should of done! We spent a few hours exploring the castle which was within easy walking distance of the Castle Guest House and well worth the visit(suggest per-booking as the que was rather long).we were lucky enough to see the pandas in the zoo(recommend booking). Plenty of places to eat and drink. We deffinatly want to go back! Love the people, sooooo friendly and helpful. Apart from friendly staff,the yummy full scotish breakfast set you up for the day.very comfy beds,plenty of hot water and not too much traffic noise.

It's not that we didn't like the 90 or so stairs,but after walking around Edinburgh we found it quite testing on the leg mussels(We've probably come back fitter than before we went) hasn't put us off wanting to stay there again though!!

No lifts and as I was on the top flor it was exhausting getting up and down

Location

It's called 'Castle View'. However, you do not get a Castle view from any of the rooms. Only if you put your head out of the window and look to your right!! Very misleading.

I love the location. The breakfast room is darling and cozy. The location is central. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a wonderful place to stay. I could not recommend it highly enough. I stay there everytime I am in Edinburgh. As far as I'm concerned it is the best place to stay in Edinburgh and they have many different sizes of rooms from a very cozy single on the top floor to rather large rooms lower down. It's a real find and I'm glad I found it. The stairs are a bit daunting but it's definitely worth the climb.

I walked right past when looking for this place, as outside it is unassuming and easy to miss. Inside though, my room was spacious, comfy bed, lovely bathroom, nice design, fantastic breakfast. The staff were nice and free internet too. I really cannot fault this hotel at all. Very highly recommended. I will return, whether business or pleasure.

No complaint, just advice. As it is an old building, there is no lift, due to it being a listed building, so maybe not so good for infirm or elderly.

The staff were very friendly. The rooms were comfortable, very modern and extremely clean. The location was perfect. close to everything and very accesible.

My room was very close to the reception, so I could hear if someone was talking there at night
