The 4-star Dunstane House Hotel was originally built in 1852 and still has many original features, including real open fireplaces.

Dunstane House was built in 1852 to the design of the famous architect William Playfair, who also designed the nearby Donaldsons' College for the Deaf. Originally Dunstane Villa, as it was first named, was the private residence of the Ross family, famous for their Edinburgh Castle Rock and other confectionery produced in Scotland. The bandstand in Princes Street gardens takes its name from the family. Our Edinburgh Hotel retains its Victorian architectural grandeur which, combined with an intimate country house atmosphere, ensures our guests leave with lasting memories of Dunstane. Crow step gables, archers' windows and ornate open fireplaces give Dunstane the atmosphere of a small castle.

What Travellers Like

In response, I got an E Mail saying our rooms were so different due to a free upgrade to room 8 to accommodate a one night booking, and that room 8 is a large double. It was lovely, but not overly large, and still only a shower – no bath. So I E Mailed back to question the response, asking why we should have had to explain our disappointment to a manager when 15 was not a good room in the first place, and when I booked months previously, at the full rate, I was promised the best double rooms. Nice bar, nice restaurant, food very acceptable, but we would caution that the rooms are very variable, and customer service leaves a lot to be desired.. Read review

I have always found that the staff are friendly and accommodating (I have counted, I have stayed there six times). On the main express bus route from the airport, the bus stop is right outside the hotel (Edinburgh bus services are really good).. Read review

The hotel staff were very obliging and helpful, again service was excellent. That the window didn't open was just the icing on the cake, the breakfast was adequate.
