Castle View, Castle Guest House and Dunstane House
 
Has anyone stayed in these places in Edinburgh? What did you think? are they convenient and pleasant?

Hi
My family group of three adults stayed at Castleview Guest House three years ago. It is right in the town centre with as you might expect, a view of the Castle. We had a huge family room with its own ensuite facilities and were very pleased with it. The breakfast and resident owners were also great.
The only reservation is that it is on the top floors of a city building and you walk up at least four flights of stairs with your luggage. I have arthritic knees and found it quite a haul but if this does not worry you I would recommend Castleview. It is an easy walk to everywhere.

Hi,
I only know Dunstane House. Have stayed there a couple of times and loved it. Real family run hotel and great seafood resturant, look it up on their web site dunstanehousehotel.co.uk .

Ani, I am going to Edinburgh in March and you made me book 16 Lynedoch Place. :)

Great Judi! Make sure to ask for the garden, or rear, facing room (you are booking a double?) b/c I just read a bad review about the front facing double on the same floor...so ask for the rear facing double-3rd floor -its yellow.
