Can't understand all the good reviews on this hotel, apart from the location there is not alot going for it. The room we had was very small and cramped, and the shower was the worst I’ve ever seen in any hotel, it would have been quicker to stand out in the rain to shower its that bad. The breakfast was... more

Me and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel for one night at the start of the month and it was fabulous. The location was brilliant as its a quiet road but only a 5 minute walk to the end of Princes street and 2 minutes to Haymarket Station. We got a great price booking through laterooms and Sally at the... more

Amazing hotel! Stayed here in October 2006 in one of the downstairs rooms. Whilst here my boyfriend popped the question, so have very special memories of the place! However they have not influenced my opinion. This is a friendly, well-run hotel with very helpful staff. Would recommend the room we had on the ground floor - double height ceilings, nice... more

A perfect hotel to experience the delights of Endiburgh. The staff were courteous and extremely helpful, whilst allowing space and freedom. The hotel was furnished / finished to a very high standard and the room was extremely clean. The bathroom was definately the best i have seen in any hotel. Look forward to returning next year.

Nice location, short walk to city centre. You must enquire about a cooked breakfast the previous evening to ensure one the next morning. We were not told about this arrangement until the morning so had to source a cooked breakfast elsewhere. Also, Sunday mornings, you best get up early as the continental breakfast buffet is unavailable after 9.30am. Rooms are... more

This hotel is under new ownership and undergoing major rennovation of public spaces. We had to walk past come scaffolds to get to our room, but did get a discounted rate. The room we had was spacious, clean, and airy. Full breakfast was very good, but not exceptional. The location is great. Quiet pleasant neighborhood, but still walking distance to... more

Ray and Cristy will look after you at this B&B. The room was spacious and clean, internet booking was perfect and the owners were friendly and helpful. Good location, non-smoking, clean, good value - we would recommend for anyone to stay here. Sept 2004 more

The Afton Town House Hotel is a grand old house on a quiet leafy crescent, yet only 5 minutes walk to Haymarket Station with trains every 6 minutes to Waverly. Or it's an easy walk - 10 minutes to Prince's Street, and 25 to the Castle. The hotel is friendly, and family-owned. There is a large first-floor (UK definition) dining... more
