We had booked clarin guest house via hotwire 2 months ago and went there today and were looking forward to our stay having read the good reviews. As we arrived there was Kim smiling and welcoming us in and came back in a panic not being able to find our reservation. She tried everything with the company that she is... More

Thank you Kim & Andy! Excellent value for money. Close by bus stops to catch regular bus to/from Edinburgh City Centre. Room 3 is a very modern family room with double bed, bunk bed and en-suite. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners who were very helpful and attentive. Breakfast was great and really filling. I rated sleep quality... More

After arriving at 12pm, and being reminded we were not due to check in until 5pm, they were very accommodating and gave us maps and lots of advice about how to get places, the best deals and we were also then able to check in 1hour later :) Breakfast was well worth the extra and very tasty set up for...

This guest house was a good value with sparse but clean furnishings. Our stay started off okay with Andy checking us in and offering maps of Edinburgh.

The couple who run this guesthouse are extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are nice and the food is good. For the price, this guesthouse is excellent value. Although not in the center of Edinburgh (about a 20 min walk), there is a convenient busline that goes straight to the city center nearby.

We stayed here in July while we were up for the weekend for my girlfriends birthday. The hotel is a lovely old building. The room we were in was quite big and very clean. But the best thing was the service. Kim and Andy couldn't do enough for you. They were brilliant hosts and really helped us around with maps,... More

After reviewing on-line the many guest houses in Edinburgh we confidently settled on Clarin House because we wanted off-street parking, easy access to the heart of Edinburgh and a decent breakfast. We were not disappointed. Clarin House is just a short, bus trip direct to the Royal Mile. Our hire car was fine, parked down behind the house in view... More

just returned from a 3 day trip to edinburgh. we chose the clarin because of its very reasonable rates and favourable reviews. The reviews were spot on. Kim and Andy were excellent hosts and could not do enough for us. We had a family room which comfortably slept 2 adults and 3 children and this was also one of the... More

We arrived for our 2 night stay, after having a bad nights stay at Malmaison. On arrival we were early, however Kim and Andy were all ready and prepared for us. Our room was clean and tidy. Kim and Andy were the perfect hosts and always on hand when needed. Breakfast was of a good standard and served fresh and... More
