Excellent hotel for the price. 10 min walk to Portobello beach and 20 min bus ride to city centre from right outside hotel. Bedroom was clean and spacious. Food very nice in the bar, and staff were very helpful throughout the hotel. Would definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Doghouse. Having stayed in some lovely hotels over the years, many of them are similar and monotonous. The Doghouse REALLY stands out from the crowd.

The entire experience was fantastic!
Hotel in general - friendly concierges, smooth check-in, cool decor, comfy library, perfect location near the Royal Mile and National Museum, and right at the top of Victoria Street (Diagon Alley)!
Room - the standard room we stayed in felt more like a suite! Heated floor, fancy control panels for lights and AC, tall ceulings, great bed, handy Smeg fridge, amazing-smelling toiletries, and a good shower too!
Can't wait to go back, it was a flawless...

There was a slightly musty or damp smell in the room which wasn’t very pleasant. We could also hear all the traffic as the windows are all single glazed. Everything else was fab
