Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests rave about the unique experience at DogHouse Edinburgh, highlighting the option for a keg in the room and a well-stocked beer fridge. Many appreciate the attention to detail, like the guitars and record players found in some rooms. The complimentary breakfast is also a hit, with tasty food and plenty of choices, although a few guests have mentioned the lack of fruit yoghurts available. Conveniently located not far from the train station and right off the Royal Mile, with a quiet lounge area exclusively for hotel guests.

The location was excellent. It was just a short walk to the main train station. The staff were consistently kind, cheerful, and helpful, I felt welcome! My room included every detail a brew lover could desire.
The shower had almost no pressure. It only dripped water. There was also no place to put my clothes. The toilet paper was really cheap quality. It was rough.

charming and quirky stay

prime spotcool designquality appliancewobbly table
The hotel boasts a prime spot near the city center, yet it offers a secluded ambiance. The design is strikingly cool and cute. The rooms are spacious. Rooms include quality appliances, a marshall radio, an angels horn turntable, and a dyson fan. I preordered the shower beer package. It was an amazing experience.
I noticed a wobbly table. It needs some maintenance. Records were also missing from the selection. I think a more thorough inspection of the room contents could prevent this.
