Hotel Minto House (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

The hosts at this family-run bed and breakfast are warm and friendly, giving the same kind of warmth and affection that a family member gives.

This hotel is ideally located just a short bus/tax ride from the city centre, in a nice part of town. You'll find yourself well connected with the area by a number of bus routes. Many local restaurants are within a five-minute walk.

Guests say this hotel is a good value if you are looking for a basic place to stay and lay your head. Accommodations are clean and on the less expensive side.

Guests say the whole place is tired and run down. Furniture is sparse and the bathrooms need updating. Drab and shabby are other words used to describe this property, which guests say needs a major overhaul.

Bathrooms are on the small side, and en suite doesn't necessarily mean in your room. It can mean a private bathroom, but on a separate floor. Also, the water pressure and temperature are unreliable, with temperatures alternating between scalding and freezing.

The description of the parking situation is vague. It appears there is no parking and that you actually have to park in the road several streets away.
