Not in the center of town but very accomodating
The Ben Doran was a very quaint and quiet "home-like" bed and breakfast. A lovely spiral staircase up to a room with a very comfortable bed and heavy curtains I could draw was just the thing I needed upon my arrival from the States. They also offered a lovely breakfast in their dining room the following morning. Charming, and quiet - I would stay again.

nice hotel
This was a nice little hotel, located near bus stops though it’s only about a 15 minute walk to the typical vacay destinations: travel center, edinburgh castle, holyrood park/palace, monuments, museums, pubs, currency exchanges, waverly train station, etc. great location! Rooms are small but suitable for those who spend the day out and about and just need somewhere to sleep.
A quick trip to a grocery store, tesco, pick up some bagels, apples, etc. for a cheap breakfast and snacks. Splurge a little on supper. I liked Canon’s Gait and The World’s End pubs on the Royal Mile.

Taste of Scottish Hospitality
While a large hotel offers more in the way of amenities, the Ben Doran offered comfortable rooms (tho’ small) in the friendly, family-run setting of a Scottish guest house. The generous breakfast buffet was a great way to start a long day of tourist activities. Their manager, Carol was warm and accommodating beyond our expectations, and we would definitely return for another stay at the Ben Doran.
