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.

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.

An excellent spot for a quite getaway.close

It could have been a little closer to the city but as there were excellent bus and taxi services it didnt really matter
