Although the distance on the map shows the Ben Doran pretty close to the Royal Mile, take the bus (it's easy and convenient)! Maps don't show how hilly Edinburgh is!

My partner and I stayed here for a few days of sightseeing in January. The hotel was clean and comfortable, with very helpful, friendly staff and excellent breakfasts. It is ideally placed for easy access to all the attractions of the city centre - it is only 15 minutes on foot from Princes Street, and there are also very frequent buses. There is also an impressive array of extras on offer, such as help with booking excursions, and room servic and packed lunches are also available. It is a lovely hotel and I would definitely stay there again.

It is good for a guesthouse-so dont expect a hotel. The room was comfortable, tidy but the bed was quite uncomfortable. We had a room facing the front so it was quite noisy from the traffic. Shared bathroom was less of a problem that we first thought but still annoying if you want to go to the loo and have to quickly get dressed again. Bathrooms however were nice, clean and well maintained. Room service menu very limited. Service was great by all staff, who were perfectly happy to call a cab for us (and cancel) with no hassles. Walkable distance to city centre. All in all, a good little place to stay in.

My girlfriend and I visited Edinburgh in February for a Valentine's Day weekend break. The Ben Doran was ideally suited to our needs - while not the most luxurious or modern hotel, this comfortable Georgian guesthouse was an ideal base from which to stroll into Edinburgh every morning. Initially dubious about a shared bathroom, we were pleasantly surprised at how little of an issue it was (and you can get en-suite rooms if you prefer). The staff are friendly and relaxed and the cooked breakfast an excellent way to start the day, and the room and bathroom immaculately clean. I wouldn't recommend the Ben Doran to people hoping for a pampered stay with lots of hotel amenities, but would definitely do so for anyone who is after a pleasant place to sleep, relax in the evening after a busy day and have a good breakfast at excellent value.

As for site seeing take the buses, nothing is in walking distance. The bus service is excellent, buy an all day pass for 2.50 its well worth it.

Ride the Lothian buses to get around. They are excellent, it's very cheap for a day ticket, and the buses run everywhere. The bus map is fairly easy to read, and if not, I have never met more friendly bus drivers in the world.
