The bed was so comfortable after a long journey! The shower was hot and the neighborhood very quiet. We never knew other guests were here until our breakfast and David was very accommodating and gracious and we enjoyed dining with the other travellers. Breakfast was delicious and Figgy the spaniel made us feel very welcome as well!

I had a good stay here. The hotel is on route of 44 bus to Balerno. The bus ride is around 30 min to Princess Street and buses run every 15 min. The bedroom was nice and the bed was very comfy, I slept beautifully! I prefer old fashioned, quiet places over modern and very busy hotels so the Spylaw Bank House was perfect for me. The price is also very reasonable compared to expensive places in the city centre and breakfast was included.

Wonderful stay in Scotland

This was the ideal place for my two week stay in Scotland. The location was perfect because it is within walking distance of my sister's home and close to bus stops that take you everywhere in the area. David was a delightful host and I felt very welcome and comfortable.

The property is 18th century and rooms are huge and decor is in tune with building. So close to bus route to city. Bus approx every 15 mins to centre. Buses back all through the nught but less frequent. David was perfect host, explaining how to get to bus stop, given main door key for easy access whatever time you get back. We went to tattoo so were back late. Great sleep, lovely huge bed firm mattress. Coffee and tea in room. Breakfast was excellent, full scottish breakfasr and cereals yogurts, fruit juice, toast and lovely coffee. Highly recommend this place. Not big hotel, nice guest house, perfect. Ticked all the boxes. Thank you David. Caroline and paul. We stayed om 8 august 25

Janet

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hospitality was wonderful and David is very helpful and friendly. The room was cluttered and untidy, dusty and not looked after. The fridge wasn’t cleaned out from the last occupants. The room was not able to be secured when we left the premises which made it difficult to leave our valuables. A lot needs to be fixed to justify the price.
