Loved staying here, the Dog house has so many different quirky extras that make it feel like so much more than a hotel. The room itself was spotless and so well looked after, the staff really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Will be back soon with the dog next time! 🐶 Thank you Doghouse! 10/10!

Perfect location to visit Edinburgh. Airport express bus stops a few minutes away. Good choice of restaurants in the area. The castle and city centre within walking distance. The apartment was amazing. Excellent facilities and the price was excellent value for money. Wouldn't hesitate staying there again.

Stop looking and stay here. Facilities are huge, brand new and great quality. They have storage for before and after your stay for free, your keypass will stay working after you check out for a full day, and will work before your check in too. Fully equiped kitchen, with a Sainsbury's supermarket just around the corner and 10 minutes walk from the royal mile (main tourist street). Very quiet road and no complicated check in or check out, super straight forward, only 30 min from the airport with a tram and bus stop just around the corner. I feel so lucky to have found this place, it is the kind of place you recommend to friends and family. LOVED IT!
