We needed somewhere in this area as we were attending a function. We were greeted warmly and shown everything we needed. The facilities were clean and functional. Breakfast was delicious and the practice of pre-ordering meant we had a lovely fresh cooked breakfast and there would be minimal waste. Well done.

A clean and welcoming house which provides off road parking and a secure place to leave ones stuff. Bus access to the city makes it a good choice for the passing visitor. The breakfast was great and plentiful. The price of £75 a double is perhaps a bit steep. The showers in the rooms are awful - no water pressure... More

This B&B is clean, with very friendly service. The room was OK and the beds were good, but the bathroom was not on the Quite a bit from the city center, but on a bus route (takes about 20 mins to get to the center). The road in front is relatively busy.

Stayed 3 nights at the Arden. The rooms are well furnished, spacious, well maintained with good housekeeping. It is situated in a very quiet locality closer to the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh. Well connected by bus services. Breakfasts are good with friendly staff around. Tea,coffee making facilities and cookies are an added benefit. Would stay here again if visiting Edinburgh.

When my brother and his wife decided on a last minute visit from the States, I had to bring them to Edinburgh. We were traveling with my dog, Bella, and had to find a dog friendly place to stay during a Thursday in August. Hard thing to do during the fringe and Tattoo. But we were lucky to find the... More

Budget accommodation in Edinburgh during the Festival is very difficult to find and this guesthouse is to be commended for its very reasonable prices, plus the generous allowances of tea, coffee, milk, cookies and even bottled water, as well as comfortable beds, free toiletries, the daily provision of good quality towels and free wifi. The breakfast is also generous, cooked... More

Booked online and arrived with paperwork stating our arrival date. The lady dealing with me on arrival had made a mistake and booked us in for the following night instead. She made a phone call and got us a room elsewhere which was horrible and in a very grotty area. Well run accommodation should not make mistakes like this.

We stayed at the Arden guest House in June 2012. We received a warm welcome. Received useful information about dining locations and bus connections. The room was, as to be expected for Edinburgh, a bit small. The room was clean. The en suite bathroom could use a paint job and needs cleaning. Towels and bed linnen were clean. Good selection...

We stayed at the Arden Guest House recently while visiting Edinburgh, from arriving staff were very helpful and friendly, we were shown to our ensuite room which was very clean and had plenty of tea/coffee making supplies. Breakfast was served in the conservatory over looking the garden, very enjoyable breakfast with lots of choice. Lovely place to stay .
