Mobin looked after us, and the breaky was very yummy! Little bit of a walk into town but not too bad. Lots of stairs inside, and the property is dated, but functional. Was perfectly fine for what we needed.

Absolutely LOVED our stay! The gracious host is outstanding, especially the made to order breakfasts! The room was spacious and great; the bathroom was a good size although the shower itself was a little small. We’d stay here again and again!

Nice, comfortable rooms for the price
The Cruachan House offers a decent and comfortable stay. The host is very nice and helpful, plus he makes a very nice breakfast. The house itself is a bit dated, and our bedroom was fairly small; however, our bathroom was quite spacious and recently renovated. The location is great and only about a 10 minute walk from the popular Grassmarket area. It might be about a 15 minute walk to the Royal Mile.

Comfy room in Edinburgh
I enjoyed staying at the guest house. Thank you for looking after me so well. The guest house is a 20 min walk from the city centre in a nice neighborhood with lots of nice restaurants close by. The room was simple but very comfy. Breakfast is served in 1st floor. Good value accommodation. I'll stay again if I come back to Edinburgh.

Not recommended
Stayed one night with the family. Facilities are old but would have been ok if it had been properly cleaned. It had been cleaned but not to a high standard. Only visible areas had been cleaned. Toilet and sink not properly cleaned, so asked the host, who said they were clean, so asked for cloth and cleaning spray and cleaned myself. Lots of dust, mould in corners of ceiling and dirty windows. No wardrobe in the room. No luggage storage at all. Breakfast was very basic with low quality ingredients. Definitely not what I would have expected for the price nor from the reviews. Who wrote them?? They don’t reflect reality. Was very disappointed and would not recommend to anyone.

Wir waren insgesamt 2 Nächte im Cruachan Guest House untergebracht. Die Unterkunft ist ruhig gelegen und von der Lage top, sodass man in ca. 15-20min zu Fuß in der Innenstadt bzw. am Castle. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet und von der Größe ausreichend. Die Betten waren angenehm und die Zimmer grundsätzlich sauber. Lediglich im Sanitärbereich war teilweise Schimmel, was zu beanstanden ist. Unser Gastgeber war zwar sehr ruhig und wortkarg, aber dennoch zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Frühstück wurde selber von unserem Gastgeber vorbereitet und war lecker!

Posizione comodissima a 20 minuti a piedi da Prince Street. Il b&b è veramente confortevole, le camere sono attrezzate di tutto; dal bollitore per prepararsi un caffe o tea, asciugacapelli e tantissime prese!!! Colazione top preparata al momento dal proprietario del b&b.
