Hotel Granville Guesthouse (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

The owners of this hotel are more than willing to help you in any way they can during your stay. They are full of information about the local area and have plenty of useful tips about places to go and things to do.

The breakfast is superb value especially considering that it’s included in your room rate. There are plenty of options, and they will even leave out a continental breakfast for you if you’re off to an early start.

The sights aren’t right on your doorstep, but they are just a short walk or an even shorter taxi ride away. It’s just far enough away from the pubs and clubs that you won’t be bothered by late night revelers.

The rooms are quite compact which is unavoidable in a building such as this but the bathrooms are very tight, and you won’t feel like spending too much time in the shower. It’s a really tight squeeze, but it’s what you expect in a guest house like this on

The road out front is quite busy at all times of the day and night so expect to hear quite a lot of traffic noise throughout your stay. If you’re a light sleeper, then you might want to pack your earplugs.

The heating seems to run on a timer and goes on and off at unusual times such as the middle of the night. This makes for an uncomfortable night’s sleep if the night is chilly. Not ideal in the cold climate of Scotland.
