The Allison manages to create an atmosphere of quiet charm very close to the heart of Edinburgh. Given today's lodging rates in Scotland, it is a real bargain. (99657450)

positive comments Excellent location on bus route, ten minutes to City Center; attractive large rooms, friendly staff, free internet access.

A nice friendly hotel with very nice rooms. TV and DVD player, kettle, trouser press etc. Plenty of room, well furnished and very relaxing. The garden to the rear is beautiful both day and night and Arthurs Seat in the background. The only down side is the hotel is on three floors and no lift that I am aware of. Otherwise a place I will be staying again (99419505)

positive comments good quality room with everything I needed.

Ho trascorso 3 giorni in assoluta tranquillità; la Allyson House è discreta, informale e silenziosa; ci si muove con assoluta libertà e si gode di comfort minimali ma piacevoli come il poter prendere una copia del quotidiano locale o l'uso gratuito del computer a disposizione della clientela;......e la colazione (scozzese o continentale) è gustosa!!! (99868301)

positive comments assoluta libertà; no igerenze da parte dei proprietari (visti solo al momento dell'arrivo e alla partenza) o del personale e la possibilità di rientrare senza un portiere a cui richiedere la chiave della propria stanza (le chiavi della porta principale e della propria stanza sono consegnate all'arrivo)

I'd certainly go back here if ever in Edinburgh again - either on business or with family. The owners were welcoming, offered useful tips on where to eat and were able to accommodate my request to stay in the room for an extra hour on the morning of departure. The hotel is warm and friendly, has character (and parking!) and is handy for the centre of Edinburgh. (99507911)

positive comments Friendly staff, lovely touch to find a welcome drink of sherry / whisky in the room! Great breakfast- especially the fresh fruit - wonderful!
negative comments Nothing to actively dislike - just a couple of details I'd have liked to mention on a feedback form - but I didn't see one in the room
