Comments: I felt isolated when i stayed here. I was put into a room in the flat opposite and felt very insecure. I was given no emergency contact details, and no \'direct dial\' telephone was available. I was told by the woman that my room was self catering when I was under the impression I had booked B&B! She said there was no need for me to come across the road in the morning and to leave the keys and towel in the room which I thought was very strange indeed! The room had a double and a single in it, when i booked only a single. There was access to a private bathroom, but when i arrive the doors were all unlocked so anyone could have walked into my room, via the kitchen! Although locking these rooms would have compromised fire safety. There was a dodgy looking extension cable running from the TV. There were mucky pots in the kitchens! This was not what I had expected! Tea and coffee facilities consisted of a jar of coffee some tea bags and UHTcreamer in the fridge. No milk. The only good thing was the location!

Comments: It is a pleasant place to stay just out of the CBD. The Owner is friendly and helpful. We stayed for a couple of days in a room (and bathroom) of adequate size. The second time was in a larger room on the first floor that was quite nice. The full English breakfast was great. There is a bus stop nearby for trips into the city and there is some on-street car parking. There is free internet access in the breakfast room - there is no lounge room. I would stay there again.

Comments: We loved staying here. So much nicer than a hostel. Very homely and comfy and full Scottish breakfast was a bonus. Good position, can walk to Royal mile in 20mins or the bus stops right outside and runs every 10mins. Will definitely stay again when we return to Edinburgh.

Comments: Just got back to London after spending a great 3 days in Edinburgh. My girlfriend and I found Drumorne Guest house to be excellent value for money, have exceptional hospitality (thank you Abe!) and be clean and cosy. The perfect place to base yourself outside of the city centre (only a 7min bus ride away) and very close to Holyrood Park.

Comments: The staff at this guesthouse were friendly and accommodating. I was, however, disappointed with the room. The single en-suite I had certainly wasn't as nice as the rooms depicted in the photos. The bedding was old and tattered. It seemed as though they were in the midst of DIY on the room, particularly the bathroom. I didn't spend much time in the room because I was out exploring, so it suited my needs but I probably would not return.

Comments: Hemos estado en Drumorne Guest House y es una pasada tanto el trato humano como la amabilidad y el servicio que ofrecen,está bastante cerca del centro con lineas de autobuses que funcionan muy puntuales.El desayuno tipico inglés super bueno todo muy limpio y cuidado recomiendo a todos los españoles que lean mi comentario a visitar Edimburgo y se queden en este hotel es bastante asequible en precios en relación a otras ofertas que hay alli.
