We were very impressed with this guest house. They were very nice and friendly. The house was very clean, had super information available, and was good value. Not much more you could ask for? Well, it is also a perfect distance from the city - quiet but close.

This is a great guest-house where to stay: very charming spacious rooms as you see in the pictures, friendly and polite stuff really helpful and a great and complete breakfast full of everything (from pudding to all kind of eggs). it is a bit far from the city centre, but a bus stop just in front... more This is a great guest-house where to stay: very charming spacious rooms as you see in the pictures, friendly and polite stuff really helpful and a great and complete breakfast full of everything (from pudding to all kind of eggs). it is a bit far from the city centre, but a bus stop just in front of the guest house and it takes 10 minutes to go to the centre!close

I really enjoyed my stay in this hostel. It's nice, very clean and the attention was excellent. It is not near the downtown but the bus stops are in front of the house. I'll think about this hostel for my next trip to Edinburgh.

Ben Craig is a splendid guest house with very easy access to the city centre. A fleet of buses services the stop directly outside the house. The staff were very friendly and helpful even providing us with a simple breakfast one day when we were going to miss the sit down breakfast, as we were off... more Ben Craig is a splendid guest house with very easy access to the city centre. A fleet of buses services the stop directly outside the house. The staff were very friendly and helpful even providing us with a simple breakfast one day when we were going to miss the sit down breakfast, as we were off on a early morning tour. An excellent spot for a quite getaway.close

We had a good stay, plenty of facilities in the room, and were very pleased with the location: within walking distance of the city. Very friendly staff and good service. Would certainly recommend it to friends. Thanks

There was a bit of traffic noise from the street, but it was a clean, nice room. The breakfast room is lovely, overlooking the back yard.
