Positives - Amazing cooked breakfast, lovely staff and good location Negatives - No double glazing and many rooms (including all the single ones) are next to a busy road which means it sounds like all the traffic is right in your room. This combined with thinnish walls and old pipes, which make it sound like there's a waterfall in your room whenever anyone is having a shower, mean it's impossible to sleep without earplugs and sleeping pills. The fact breakfast is only served from 8-9 is also bizarre. Neutral - The bathoorms are shared, unless you pay a lot extra for an ensuite, and the place as a whole is a bit dated. Conclusion: I can't recommend this place unless you make sure you are not in a room facing the street and you get a good deal.

I stayed here for a night and it was wonderful. I met the owners and the staff and everyone was welcoming and friendly. The place is lovely and decorated. They make you feel safe and at home. I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a short 12 minute drive to the main city area. Great environment and clean.

Stopped here for a couple of nights while in Edinburgh to see the Military Tattoo. Absolutely perfect for me. Clean, comfortable and a nice breakfast that set me up for the day. There's a bus stop opposite although I chose to walk which took about half an hour. I was in a single room so had a shared bathroom which again was clean and had a decent shower. Planning my next visit now and will definitely use the Ben Doran again. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the wonderful city of Edinburgh.

We had a very pleasant stay at this guest house. The property is located in a prime location. The services provided were excellent. We had asked for an early breakfast and taxi in the morning for our departure. We were provided with a proper take away breakfast and taxi arrived on time, which made our onward journey hassle free. So five star ratings for the guesthouse.
