Localisation intéressante dans la ville

Proximité avec le tram. Centre ville à 15 min à pied. Quartier calme. Proximité des restaurants. Les chambres 5 et 6 ont accès direct sur un charmant jardin très agréable. Personnel très agréable et arrangeant pour l'horaire de départ (panier repas fourni car départ avant le petit-déjeuner)

Chambre un peu petite.

Fantastic , hosts were very attentive and wouldn’t hesitate coming back again or recommending to friends and family

Everything !! Obviously a lot of work has gone into making the establishment very welcoming and aesthetically pleasing

Steps very steep and tiny however that’s part of the building given its age

Edinburgh över helgen

Bra sängar och moderna rum, stor smart tv. Frukosten beställdes kvällen innan och det fanns flera bra alternativ för många smaker. Kan rekommenderas! Nära spårvagn till flyg och tågstation.

Önskemål att kunna hänga jacka och ställa skor på något innanför rumsdörren.

Sehr empfehlenswert, tolle Einrichtung und ruhige Lage, dennoch schnell in der City.

Sehr geschmackvolles Ambiente und durchdachte Zimmereinrichtung. Ein super Frühstück - bei dem man selbst Schwerpunkte in der Lebensmittelauswahl setzen kann. Wir wurden sogar aktiv nach Allergien zB gegen bestimmte Obstsorten befragt. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal.

Es gibt nichts Negatives zu berichten. Wir sind restlos begeistert.

Best guest house in Edinburgh ❤️

We loved the breakfast! It was one of the best breakfasts we ever enjoyed in our travels. The location is right on the tram's path and very close to the city center. Ollie and the staff are amazing, and made the whole stay wonderful. We will come back with a big smile 😁

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Edinburgh, and Ollie’s hospitality.

Ollie and the staff were great. They prepared a wonderful breakfast and took time to talk to us every day and give us suggestions on touring around. The location was perfect and easy walking distance to Royal Mile and other sites.

The room was a bit too small and warm. Ollie provided a fan which helped cool off the room somewhat.

Une refuge douillet en plein Édimbourg

La chambre a été refaite récemment. Elle est spacieuse, douillette, confortable calme. Un vrai refuge contre le climat humide de l'Écosse. L'accueil d'Ollie et Mirella est irréprochable. Toujours partant pour échanger et donner de bons conseils touristiques. Le petit déjeuner est une merveille, copieux, servi à l'assiette et de grande qualité !

Quelques petits détails à revoir dans les équipements mais rien de grave : un tablette dans le placard qui ne tient pas, la porte de la douche qui ne ferme pas très bien, l'abattant des WC un peu branlant.

Sehr angenehm trotz Nieselwetter

Das Frühstück ist sensationell. Oatmeal mit gutem Honig und Whisky, dann eine Auswahl verschiedener warmer/kalter Optionen und dazu Toast. Der Orangensaft war, soweit wir beurteilen konnten, frisch gepresst. Der Gastgeber und das Personal waren alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft liegt etwa 200m von der nächsten Bus-/Strassenbahnhaltestelle entfernt. Zum Laufen sind es bis zum Zentrum etwa 15 min, in Richtung Hafen etwa 30.

Das Zimmer 1 ist sehr klein und liegt an der Strasse. Das Fenster liess sich zum Lüften nicht öffnen. Wenn Gäste nachts zurück kommen, hört man das sehr gut, was den Schlaf etwas stört.

Tökéletes!

A szálláshely közvetlenül a villamos megálló mellett illetve busz megálló közelében van. A közlekedés kiváló, percek alatt az óvárosi központban lehet lenni. Gyalogosan is igen gyorsan megközelíthető a központ. Nagyon jó infrastruktúra két élelmiszerbolt és rengeteg étterem a közvetlen közelben. A szállás makulátlanul tiszta, nagyon szép tágas, kényelmes szoba, kényelmes ággyal, tökéletesen felszerelve (diffúzoros hajszárító, törülköző, tisztálkodó szerek, tv stb). A személyzet végtelenül segítőkész és barátságos, jobbat el sem lehetne képzelni. A reggeli pedig eszméletlenül finom nagyon bőség és nagy a választék. Egy szóval tökéletes!

Nem volt ilyen

Wonderful location, close to tram and easy walking distance to train station, coach terminal and a selection of good pubs and great restaurants. Although situated just off a main road, the room was quiet, and the area very safe for walking in the late evening. Room was clean, with a comfortable double bed and an en-suite shower. The staff were very friendly, helpul and efficient. Excellent cooked to order breakfast

The bedroom was small and the en suite likewise. Very little room to unpack, and no space in the bathroom to keep toiletries

Good

Great breakfast. Host was very helpful and responds very quickly.

I stayed at the Atholl Palace before getting to Edinburgh. I paid £30 more for so much more. The Ben Cruachan was really nice but not worth the money, facilities and services for the price I paid. The most disappointing thing was the space I had....not worth what I paid for the room. We couldn't fit in the bathroom together. It was really tight when I opened the door I had to almost step to the toilet in order to close the door to reach the shower. Also room 1 was so small. We couldn't even move around the bed to get to the bathroom or our bag. There was no chair or fauteil to sit on so when we were in the room we had no choice but to sit on the bed. We spent 5 nights here. When the host asked us about how our stay was, we answered honestly. However it was clear that that was not what she wanted to hear. Her response was to blame Booking.com. Apparently because we booked through booking.com we got a discount and therefore the smallest room. I saw the other rooms and asked we could be moved but the owner said he was fully booked. He could have made a change. Even a single guest had a room bigger than we did. And we stayed the longest. Others came and stayed a day and a few two days. I was not happy with what we got for the price we payed. Please share this with the Ben Cruachan House.

Superb Scottish accommodation.

The Ben Cruachan Guest House is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever experienced as a guest. The two hosts Ollie and his wife were helpful accommodating and kind showing real interest in my journey. They have created a lovely atmosphere. The room I stayed in was restful and pleasant with a garden view. It was a pleasure to return to each evening. The walk-in shower was fabulous, a genuine pleasure to walk into. And beautiful. The breakfasts were also excellent. Genuinely Scottish fare with porridge accompanied by whiskey and honey! Also pancakes haggis and black pudding along with fresh fruit. A wonderful start to the day. I would return here as a guest again.
