About

Culane House Hotel - B&B - Edinburgh

Culane House Hotel is a 4-star bed and breakfast on Hermitage Place, a short drive from Arthur's Seat and the Royal Yacht Britannia. It offers straightforward, comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a breakfast that guests consistently praise for its variety. The hotel sits beside a large grassland park, with a bus stop right outside for easy trips into the city centre.

Run by a friendly and efficient team, the hotel keeps things simple: clean rooms, daily towel and sheet changes, and a dining room that does the job well. It's the kind of place that works best for travellers who want a reliable base with easy transport links, rather than a design-led stay.

In brief

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be small — Some guests note the room size is compact, though still comfortable and clean.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so plan accordingly if travelling with an animal.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 13:00 and 23:30, so late arrivals may need to arrange alternatives.
  • Not in the city centre — The hotel is a short drive from Arthur's Seat and a bus ride into the centre, so it's less walkable to main attractions.

“We arrived after a mix-up at another hotel and were greeted with a very warm welcome. The staff were brilliant, friendly and efficient. Our room was spotlessly clean and just right for what we needed. Breakfast was tasty with plenty of choice. A bus stop right outside took us wherever we needed. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.”
