this has got to be the worst ever guest house experience ever! Should have gone with my gut feeling and walked back out! but, was difficult getting a family room in Edinburgh. We experienced the reception of not being expected to arrive! room was dull, dated, not attractive at all. Beds were extremely uncomfortable, slats were missing from blinds, curtains... More

Arrived and couldn't get in initially despite several rings of the bell. Eventually, a couple came to the front door to go in. They had a key and so we were able to get in. Someone eventually came to the hallway but did not really know what they were doing. We told him we were booked in the family room... More

When we arrived at the guest house we were greated at the door and were told our family room had been double booked and 30 minutes beforehand another family had just been given the road before us so we had a decision either drive home, look out the room that was available or find another guest house.

Really shows what sort of place you're going to when people go to such lengths to decieve potential customers... More

Filthy, filthy, filthy and falling apart. Stayed only one night of two booked, breakfast tasteless and disgusting. Bathroom unhygienic at best. Just no. More

We travelled to edinburgh over the christmas weekend and chose the Mayville due the following factors - Rock Bottom Prices in Christmas - Walking Distance to the City Center and Castle Rock There were reviews that gave negative feedback but we went ahead with this nevertheless. We were surprised to find that none of these we were applicable to us.... More

Cheap (Gvfm?) at off-season rates, but could do better. Mayville offers cheap (at off-season rates) accommodation with adequate breakfast. Room was clean but let down by poor maintenance (black mould in shower, leaking sink plug, both rads needed bleeding, missing loo seat cover [mentioned in much earlier reviews], TV(analogue+stb) needed scart+aerial connections sorting before it would work.).
