Ardenlee Guest House

Ardenlee guest house is perfect for a comfortable holiday in Edinburgh. It is close to Stockbridge (one of the most beautiful areas of Edinburgh in my view) with cafe and restaurant. Not far from Dean village too. Only 15 minutes from old town, easily reached with bus (1 minute from the guest house). Keiko and his husband are absolutely lovely and friendly. The rooms are classic / old style and I loved it. It was comfortable and I had a lovely view.

Some of the text I tried to send ********** to ask for help… I have an issue - and I tried to talked to the guesthouse - but they would not give me any service and would not meet our request... I was in contact with them in advance to change the reservation to one night shorter and tried to ask for some of the money back - but they would not help us. They said it was not possible, even though I know it is. I work in a hotel my self, and I know its possible - we do for our guests - service is important. Service is everything! I saw too late the deadline was 1.th june, but I tried to contact the hotel and asked nicely, just few days after the limit - did not get very nicely reply. During the stay they did not give daily service of changing towels and glasses, did not make our bed or filled up with amenities coffee.. - did not even take out the trash-bin.. The bathroom was not at the standard we expected, small and not clean… terrible noisy shower-arrangement, as a tornado was coming.. (I deeply apologise for the time we had to spend in the shower, to our neighbours…) Pillows like bricks, so we had to change them due to neck-problems after the first night… A bit far from the centre of the town, so great if you wanna have some extra exercise added to the stairs at the guest house.. I would really much aprecciate the host met us with the service of not taking paid for the night we didn’t spend in the guesthouse… In the end I was just happy to leave… we had told the guesthouse in advance - they could give the service… they just not wanted to do that…. Not very polite… Please reply………. (They did not even reply, when I tried to contact them again after the stay……)

We stayed here as a family of 3 with our 18 month old daughter. The owners were lovely and communication was great. They let us drop our bags before check in and leave them longer after checkout whilst we explored the Chris**as markets some more. Our only downfall would be our bathroom didn't have a shower head on the wall. That and the location is a huge hill to the Chris**as markets! We didn't mind the exercise but others may have a problem with this.

Liked · The Hotel is located on a nice quiet street in Edinburgh's sought-after Newtown. There are a number of independent cafes, trendy bars and art galleries - all just a sort walk away. As Ardenlee is a period town house, the rooms are a very generous size. Our basement room had ample space for a large double bed, a comfortable sofa and a single bed. The relaxed styling gave the room a more homely and comfortable feel - as apposed to a typical chain hotel. Keiko was very friendly and provided good helpful communication throughout the booking process. I would definitely recommend this place for a couple's weekend get away. Disliked · Our bathroom was on the small side and the extractor fan made one hell of a noise when the light was one. The TV was unable to pick up any signal, even after attempting to retune it. Not a massive issue for us as we spent most of our time exploring the city. It would just make a nice thing to have on whilst relaxing. The absence of a full wardrobe meant storage for clothes was limited. Not Ardenlee's fault, but the torrential weather we had made the 15-20 min uphill walk into the city centre become quite arduous. Perhaps choose somewhere more central if walking isn't your cup of tea.

Sono stata per qualche notte. La stanza era al secondo piano, molto luminosa e spaziosa, un letto matrimoniale ed uno singolo. Bagno con doccia, lenzuola pulitissime. Bollitore per te o caffe. Molte stick di caffe istantaneo, te e cioccolata. Una bottiglia di vetro di acqua e in pacchettino di patatine fritte e molti latte pack per caffè. Keiko è assolutamente amabile e altamente comunicativa e disponibile in tutto. lei è sempre pronta a soddisfare tutte le richieste. Io sono arrivata dall' Italia senza adattatore per telefono e lei me ne ha fatti trovare due direttamente in camera. Unico difetto per me sono state le scale, due piani a piedi senza ascensore e con valigia pesantissima. E' stata l'occasione per fare esercizio fisico :) Tornerò sicuramente in questa guest house
