Our stay at this hotel was a delight, highlighted by the cleanliness of the rooms and the exceptional breakfast options. The service provided by Craig, the host, made us feel genuinely welcome and at home. The only downside was that we were misled into thinking breakfast was included, which wasn't the case; however, overall, it was a lovely experience that I would recommend to others.

I had a great experience at Craigmillar Guest House, which is conveniently located with easy transport options into the city. The rooms were absolutely spotless and very spacious, making my stay comfortable. The service from Craig was truly exceptional; he made me feel right at home. However, I wasn't able to enjoy breakfast as much as I wanted since I had plans in the city early on. Overall, the value for money was excellent.
