Owner and staff treated us very well. Very attentive to my wife’s food allergies which was appreciated. Room was very clean and had been updated.
Michael, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice, comfortable, and clean. Rooms located above the pub. Only issue was the room entrance was outside and required climbing several stairs. Persons with limited mobility would find it challenging.
Lou, 1-night trip

A hidden gem

Wanted convenient hotel..not in the heart of the city and not at the airport.. with restaurant to spend our last 2 days in Scotland. Room was well appointed…large rain shower. Restaurant and bar were busy with locals…great food, service, selection at reasonable prices. Thanks to Mike for a warm welcome and help in getting around

Great spot in Edinburgh

Perfect spot for our last night in Scotland. Small hotel above a great local restaurant/pub. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff very helpful before and during our stay. Friendly staff at the pub, too. Primary reason for booking this location was easy access to the airport for an early morning flight and so for that reason: mission accomplished. Easy access from Haymarket Station when arriving and 10-minute morning cab ride to the airport.
Andreas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely room and so dog friendly

I had a friendly welcome on arrival and the dogs got a lovely welcome pack for their stay. This was a lovely touch. The room was clean, nicely decorated and had everything I needed. I slept very well even though it's on a main road there was little noise. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you are travelling with dogs.
Caroline, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice room not much else. Quite pricey for what it is. A little out of town but frequent buses. Staff friendly but not always on hand when you need them as they are working in the bar.
Gareth, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, both the B and B and the restaurant down stairs. We used Uber to get around. About 10 min. In to town or out to the airport. The only thing I would change are the bed pillows. They are very thin and offer no support.
Heather, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rent værelse, pænt badeværelse. Værelset lå ud til befærdet vej med flere spisesteder og pubber, men der var ingen larm selvom vi overnattede fredag til lørdag.

Very nice stay
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Annorlunda o mysigt boende.

Det var trevligt på på ett så litet boende. Var en bit in till Edinburgh men vi har varit där så mycket så det var inte det viktigaste för oss denna gång. Personalen var trevlig. Nära trafikerad väg, men bra isolering när man stängde.
Helene, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

While it was on a busy street and difficult to find where to park, the manager was amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The rooms are located above the restaurant and there is no elevator but it was only one flight of stairs. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. There is no A/C so it was a little hot because we couldn't open the window.
Laila, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful setting and friendly staff. We didn’t try the food but it looked delicious. Direct route on the bus into town center, very handy - would be a great place to stay for any rugby at Murryfield (just down the road a short trip on the local bus)
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms are up steep stairs in back of property. Parking is one hotel down behind Toby's next door to Torfin. Room had everything we needed but a fan and tissues. Jenna was extremely helpful.
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Torfin was clean and in a great area. It was very convenient to the airport and a short bus ride away from the city. There are great dining options near and a restaurant attached. The staff was so friendly and allowed us to store our bags in the morning because we arrived into the city early as well as helped us navigate public transportation!
Stephanie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They were very accommodating and could see how tired I was and the nice young man from behind the bar carried my bag for me up to the room. The room was amazing. It was beautifully clean and they really thought of everything. I had team and a hot shower before bed and after going down for an amazing burger and a pint. The atmosphere and decor was so well done and comforting.
Christine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

An overnight stay for an early morning check in at Edinburgh Airport with airport bus stop a 5 minute walk away. Staff very nice. Had an issue with bathroom door but taken on board by staff and rectified very quickly. Would stay again.
Diane, 1-night trip

Torfin highly recommend

Friendly staff, fun modern clean room and quiet despite being above the pub.
James, 1-night trip

One of the best hotels we stayed at in Scotland. If I ever go back to Edinburgh, I would put this hotel at the top of my list.
