A little hard to find. Once we found it, we liked the location and room. Close to restaurants and shops.

This is not a four-star hotel, but a guest-hous. The bathroom was at the end of a corridor, separated from the rooms. There weren't any parking places.

I wondered that a 4**** Hotel have no Bath/Shower and/or WC in the room?? It looks very pretty, but I don´t know why it have 4****. The price is ok !!

We had a lovely weekend at the Ben Doran. It's a very cosy and quiet place with good service. If it hadn't been for the unfinished building work on the entrance I'd have rated the experience as excellent.

Well placed for local restaurants and pubs.Within reasonable walking distance(20 mins)of the royal mile and 30 mins of princes street. Rooms are clean and decor is fine and breakfast was good. Located on a busy main road so will not suit those used to rural peace and quiet. Tea and coffee making facilities are not actually in the rooms but are situated on ths landing outside - we found this somewhat idiosyncratic
