Over Night Stop

Good points ; good breakfast and friendly staff that we met. Easy access into city. Three stops.
Bad points: noisy plumbing when people use toilets in other rooms. Shower didn\'t work. Cold or hot due to old shower valve. Not cleaned the shower area. Needs a refurb. Think I would maybe pay a little more next time and get a better hotel. But to be fair a different room may be better

Will Stay Here Evertime.

Every one was so friendly. The breakfast was wonderful. I loved the eclectic style, From the chandelier to the wallpaper in the breakfast room.The price was awesome and the bed was the most comfortable i\'d slept in while in Scotland.

Lovely Stay.

This guest house is great value for money. The staff were very friendly. The rooms are clean and have a lovely warm feel to them. Bus stop right outside the door so it\'s easy to get in and out of the cente. Quiet street so no noise on a night when sleeping on a night. Cooked breakfast the next morning is ideal. Thankyou for a plesant stay.

Comfortable And Welcoming

The location was ideal for us , half-way between the city and Murrayfield (and easily walkable), as we were going to the rugby international. The welcome was warm and friendly, and the full breakfast was excellent. The room was comfortable and clean, with good bed-linen and towels, TV, and coffee/tea-making facilities. We also got free parking for the 2 nights in the driveway of a nearby house. The only slight downside was the bathroom. The water temperature in the shower fluctuated wildly, mildew was present on the grouting, and there was a step outside the shower which was awkward and possibly dangerous. Without these flaws I would have awarded 5 stars.

Ideal Hotel For Visiting Edinburgh

This B&B was very good located for our visit. We could walk to the most Points and if we were tired there are 2 bus lines. The room in the second Floor was a little Problem for our to big suitcases (narrow stairs, no lift) but was really ok. Also the breakfast was right for us.

Comfortable But Dated

A good location for visiting the sights and the owner allowed us to leave the car while we were seeing the sights. The breakfast was however disappointing as it looked like it was prepared earlier. The mushrooms and tomato were stone cold. Also a limited choice i.e. full fry up or help yourself \'continental\'. Only half an hour window also for breakfast.

5 Nights At The End Of November.

I stayed at the guesthouse for 5 nights and was quite happy with it. It is located 10 min walk from the castle or grassmarkt, bus to prices street just outside. The room was comfortably but noise as it was towards the street. Breakfast was enjoyable and so was the service. Clean and tidy throughout the house.

Good Value For Money

I stayed here for one week during the festivals. The room was small (they actually have a single room so I didn\'t have to pay for a double), but clean and comfortable and contained all I needed, even tea making facilities and a sink (my private bathroom was at the end of the hall). The only problem was that the door locks to my room and bathroom were always very difficult to use. The Guest House is in walking distance to the city centre and it was very quiet at night (except for some seagulls). Breakfast was plenty and tasty, but the breakfast room was a bit cramped. The landlord was very nice and helpful.

Stay At Castle Park

Castle Park is great value for the price you pay. Whilst a bit down at heel in the stairwells (which is often the case with B&Bs) rooms are comfortable, beds lovely and very clean. Bathroom was spotless if a bit dated. Staff were lovely - I would happily stay here again. Great location.

Stay During The Festival

The room was nice and clean, the hosts were gentle. It wasn\'t so easy to climb the steps to the second floor with our big suitcases. The breakfast room was really too small. There have been too many tables and you had to squeeze yourself between the tables. But the relation between offer and pay was ok. It was very good to have a bus station next to the house\'s entrance, so when leaving we didn\'t have to walk far away.

Convenient Location, Delicious Breakfast

The location is really convenient as I had business at University of Edinburgh and walked there in 10 mins through the Meadows. Very nice! Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Room was a bit small and separate bathroom was an inconvenience, but I would definitely stay again.

Lo mejor el parking que tienen junto al hotel, fundamental si llegas a Edimburgo en coche despuÃ©s de habar visitado las highlands como fue nuestro caso.
Lo demÃ¡s del hotel de calidad mÃ¡s bien baja. Desayunos muy bÃ¡sicos, habitaciones antiguas con olores un poco raros, el establecimiento necesita un cambio de aires total.
La distancia al centro, unos 20minutos caminando a paso ligero.

We stayed 2 nights at this guesthouse. From the minute we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Nicola went out of her way to help me and I was very touched by her kindness. Great breakfast, bus stop right out the front on both sides, close to the city centre and plenty of places to get a meal within walking distance. Clean, comfortable and good wifi. Will definitely stay here again if we visit the UK again.

Excellent Value Accommodation

I visited Edinburgh for a couple of days to meet friends and reacquaint myself with a city I hadn\'t seen in 20 years.
The Castle Park promised good value and central location, and didn\'t disappoint. My room at the front of the house, was comfortable and came with all advertised amenities. Staff were helpful and friendly. Getting to and from meet-ups with my friends was simple, as frequent bus routes operate right on Gilmore Place, but it\'s only a brisk 10 minute walk into the Old City if you want to stretch your legs and take in some of the sights of the city that way.
I\'d happily stay here again.

Well Done

This establishment serves its demographic and serves it very well. I found the premises to be clean and fairly tidy. The room was certainly adequate with the amenities that one would expect. Like most B&B establishments in the UK, there is never sufficient milk on the coffee/tea tray. The room was quiet and comfortable and the breakfast very good. Castle Park offers a more personal service than one would find at budget hotels and I found them very responsive to requests and quick to rectify problems. The establishment is in a fairly cosmopolitan area of Edinburgh, with a bus stop across the road. However, it is close enough to the centre of Edinburgh to walk. There are 2 theatres and an Odeon complex close by, with many restaurants and take-away shops of many types very close. It is a convenient base to explore Edinburgh from, but, if you're going to walk - wear comfortable shoes. It offers good value for the price.
