A quaint and quiet place to stay. Rooms were well appointed but I was very disappointed in the size of the room. A double (we stayed in room15) was very small. Hard for two of us to move around. The shower was tiny and cramped. The bar is very comfortable and not noisy like we had read. The library was... more

We booked the Dunstane for our wedding dinner, and while the food was good, we were disappointed by the poor service. You would think that since it was our wedding dinner we would have received better service, but that was not the case. Our drinks were never refilled, and despite being told that we could order from the regular menu,... more

Management response from
Dunstane, Manager

This small wedding was booked through a wedding co-ordinator and she was told this was going to be a busy day as Scotland Rugby team play the all blacks at Murrayfield and also she was given the list of menus to choose from and came back to us with the set Dinner menu choice at a lower price than our...

My fiancé took me away for a weekend as a birthday treat and I was lucky enough to be taken to The Dunstane House Hotel. On arrival we were greeted by a pleasant member of staff who showed us to our room, a 4 poster bed room. It was gorgeous! Very tastefully decorated and clean with a lovely en-suite bathroom.... more

We visited Edinburgh for a short break with our daughter and her friend. We took advantage of Dunstane's off peak offer - stay 3 nights including a Sunday and pay for 2 - which made the price appropriate. One of the reasons we selected Dunstane House was for wireless internet access to keep in contact with our business. This appeared... more

We stayed at the Dunstane house last month, having read the mixed reviews. When we were shown our room by the receptionist the first thing she said was "you will find this room gets very hot". Whilst it was the lovely weather when we were there, the room got no air at all (desite the window being fully open) and... more

Whilst we didn't stay at the hotel we did eat in the Skerries Restaurant which forms part of it. On the positive side the staff were friendly and showed us to the bar for a pre-meal drink on arrival. The emphasis is on seafood from Orkney but the menu also contains a wide range of meat dishes none of which... more

This hotel is wonderful. In a very central area with regular bus service, bus stop literally right outside the hotel so we didnt need to take the car anywhere at all to get around. The staff are very friendly, and are always happy to help and to chat. The food is fantastic, we were staying bed and breakfast, and the... more

A friend and I booked a single room each for 2 nights. Hers was tiny but OK. Mine was dreary but the worst problem was the NOISE like a vibrating sort of banging periodically - it was unbearable! After much complaining they moved me to a twin room which was OK for one but the en suite would have been... more

We spent 3 nights at the Dunstane House- stayed in a lovely room with a huge 4-poster bed, which my very tall husband appreciated. Staff pleasant and helpful except that they agreed to ring our room at 6 the morning we were to leave and did not. (Our backup alarm clock worked!) One caveat- there is no A/C and when... more

This hotel is quite expensive, and from the photos published in the Scottish tourist guide as well as the 4 stars assigned to it, we assumed that it would be a decent place to stay. Sorry to say, we were extremely disappointed with our choice. We had taken 2 rooms for 3 nights; one was a twin room on the... more
