Stayed here for 3 nights. I have stayed all spring in hostels (in dorms), so own room felt like a luxury. Hostel was closer to the city that I expected. Actually bus station is not far away. I found it easily. Got my key, but the lady didn´t say anything else? Well, I was happy with my room. Quite big... More

A couple buddies and I went to Scotland on a MANcation. We could have gotten a hotel near the train station and downtown, but for half the price, we walked about ten minutes from the train station to this hotel. It provided us with one room with three beds, and breakfast was included as well! For what we paid, as... More

Our whole travelling company of nine was delighted to stay at Caravel Guest House for five nights during the festival. The beds were good. The food tasted well and was abundant, The location was so that we could walk to the city centre if we didn't want to take a cab, and cabs were easy to catch. And the manager... More

Extremely BAD experience. Don't stay here if you can or your vacation might be ruined. Very rude crooks!!!! Bad place, awful experience. We ran away from Edinburgh (too bad, because the city is lovely) because of this bad experience.

Stayed here for two nights over the weekend of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. Greeted on arrival by the very friendly owner, for whom nothing is too much trouble. My wife was running in the half-marathon which meant we would miss breakfast. When we mentioned this to the owner he provided us with a tray of cereal, yogurts, orange juice and... More
