Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about Duthus Lodge Guest House from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Duthus Lodge Guest House is often praised for its convenient location, especially for access to Murrayfield stadium, about 10 minutes away on foot. The bus stop right outside the door provides easy access to the city centre via bus 32, taking you straight into town, as well as to Princes Street and the zoo. Guests appreciate the clean and spacious rooms, sometimes noting that the showers can be compact. A highlight for many is the breakfast, described as freshly cooked with both cooked and continental options, and the Japanese restaurant conveniently located just across from the lodge.
