Ceilidh-Dornia is a charming BnB in a quiet residential neighborhood. I would gladly stay there again, in fact, I stayed there twice while in Scotland. The staff were super friendly and accommodated all our needs. We had to leave very early to catch a flight and they booked our taxi and made us a sack breakfast. Our rooms were quiet and had comfortable beds. There was plenty of coffee, tea and milk for us early risers. Breakfasts were amazing, especially the eggs benedict and eggs with smoked salmon. There was a lovely garden to relax in and they had a small bar so we could enjoy a drink in the evening without going out.
There wasn't much to dislike, other than rooms being small, and one room on the south side was pretty warm at the end of a sunny day.

The owners were so lovely and made our stay. Breakfast was the best we had on our trip. Accommodating with parking.
Room was tired, basic and very dusty, which was such a shame! New carpet, deep clean and a fresh lick of paint would have made such a difference.

The stay at this B&B made our trip to Edinburgh so much nicer. A bus line is only a 5-minute walk away to get to downtown Edinburgh in fifteen minutes. It was so nice after a day of exploring to come home to a warm, cozy room. The food was absolutely amazing! But the best thing about it was the people who run it—Kevin and his wife—and everybody I met while we were there was nothing but warm and inviting! I travel frequently, and my son and I would definitely recommend this hotel if you're going to Scotland! Oh...clean hot showers definitely a plus!
There's honestly nothing not to like about this stay.

Number one, Kevin and Susan. They are exceptional in the art of making their guests feel welcomed. Kevin was so helpful with travel tips and his wittiness kept us laughing and joyful. Susan offered immediate help with any requests like taxi bookings or direction clarification. Kelly, who covered the front desk some evenings was so helpful in orienting us upon arrival.
The breakfasts were exceptional, offering both a continental buffet and a choice of hot options including full Scottish breakfast which had us really enjoying the haggis which we may not have tried otherwise.
We also liked the location. We marveled about how quiet it was and thought it was much more peaceful than being in the city center. The bus stop was close by, and it takes only minutes to be on the Royal Mile.
Our room was great. We had the family room up two flights of stairs. The beautiful window looked out on Holyrood Park and the crags. We kept the drapes open at night so we could gaze out at the stars, and we wouldn't have been surprised if Peter Pan or Tinkerbell had flown in. The sunrises were spectacular!
The heated towel racks were appreciated. The shower mechanism was easy to understand and the water pressure was terrific.
There was a creaking floor as we entered the bathroom. We tried to step around it, but often forgot. We worried about whoever might be in a room below us.
We couldn't figure out how to light the lamp by the bed closest to the window, and kept forgetting to ask about it.

Staff and included breakfast were great. We had some minor lighting in the room that didn't function properly. Location was very convenient to bus stops to visit different locales. Easy to walk to a local grocery for other things. Very close to several parks that are within easy walking distance.
Other than a couple of lights in the room not working properly, everything was great.

The best bits:

The ease of access from the city, either by walking or by bus
Breakfast

Nothing worth mentioning.

I cannot rave about this hotel enough! Everything was wonderful – from the lovely owners, to the comfy room, to the amazing breakfast, even the little bar area – it was all absolutely stellar!
You really felt like you were coming home, here – the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. If you are looking for a place to stay in Edinburgh, look no further!!
It's also super close to multiple bus lines that easily bring you into the inner city within 10 minutes or it's about a 20 minute walk. The area around also has lots of nice pubs and shops. You're in the perfect spot to not be in the touristy part of the city, but you still have easy access to everything.
Really, don't second guess. Book here!
That I had to go home :'(
Thank you for your information!
