We were a trio headed to Edinburgh for a two night, three day whirlwind tour. The Ailsa Craig met our requirements. First, it was in a prime location. Up by canton hill you can easily walk to the center of town, the main train station, the bus terminal, etc. or you can take a relatively inexpensive (and easy to find)... More

We stayed in the small Double room downstairs at the Ailsa Graig and it had all you required. Yes it was small- but thats in the title. Everything was clean, nice power shower and comfy bed. Also it was soooo quiet perfect for passing out after walking all day. The location was brilliant just 5/10min walk from the main station... More

I found this to be a cosy friendly Hotel, on a lovely Victorian terrace. There are open views to the front towards extensive public gardens. I had a single room (number 15) with a double bed, wardrobe, dressing table, TV and a wash basin and central heating radiator. From the window was a pleasant view of the hotel garden heading... More

We visited Edinburgh for the 2011 Fringe Festival and booked the Ailsa Craig only a day before arriving. The hotel is in a prime position, only a 5 minute walk away from the Royal Mile and the city centre. The staff were extremely helpful and so friendly, helping us with directions and suggesting attractions to visit. Our room was on... More

Pleasant hotel in an ideal situation 5 mins from the bottom of Princes Street. We had a double en suite basement room which was small, however we knew this when we booked and it wasn't a problem, location being more important than room size and who goes away to sit in your hotel room anyway? It had a very new... More

We had a basement room but would recommend you stay on another level it was comfortable, clean and we only paid cheap so excellent value for money. Breakfast was really good can recommend the full breakfast... More
