“Ardenlee Guest House strikes me as a particularly welcoming spot, run by genuinely helpful hosts, Keiko being one of them. The Victorian-style rooms, while evoking a sense of history with their high ceilings, manage to feel well-maintained and comfortable. I think its location strikes a nice balance, close enough to Edinburgh's attractions yet retaining a quiet, residential feel.”

Comfortable stay

easy contactnecessary amenitiessmall ensuite
The host was easy to contact. Check-in and check-out occurred without any problems. The room featured adequate size and all necessary amenities. I observed well organised staff, readily available for any assistance I required.
The ensuite was small. The finishing seemed poor with some areas needing updating. The toilet refilled slowly, and the shower felt under-powered. Any flushing from the room above created considerable noise.
