We've been staying at the Armadillo during the Festival on and off for around a decade. Never less than a friendly, relaxed service from the staff and with a real personal touch. We're always made to feel like family. A good range of breakfast options at Armadillo too to... more

Upon arrival at the Armadillo, we were greeted by the landlady and made welcome. We were asked to fill in the form letting the kitchen know of our breakfast choices for the next day. We told the landlady that we were on an early tour for the next two mornings and would... more

If you are thinking about a cosy place for a short holiday in Edinburgh DO NOT stay in Armadillo! Armadillo was not a pleasant place to stay. On arrival we were welcomed with a pointless argument regarding price of the rooms (information received on the phone when booking... more

Hello, Just returned from a long weekend to the Armadillo with 5 friends over the New Year to celebrate Hogmanay. Some of the below comments are unfair regarding this Guest House. As soon as we arrived on the Friday, we were made welcome by the land lady who give us our... more

My family stayed at this lovely guest house. Myself, my wife and 2 young children. The lady owner could not be more helpful and the rooms were beautiful and clean.
I cannot understand previous comments - some people nowadays are incredibly malicious. Great place, great location, great service. 4*.

Thank you so much for making our stay so good. We had a great time and you made us very comfortable. I agree with the other lady that the standard of cleanliness is very high and the breakfasts more than adequate. We can't fault you. What a great place in a great city. We... more

Seeing is believing. I would recommend all other visitors to stay clear of the Armadillo from the outside it looks like a prestige guest house the rooms are basic. I arrived on the Friday and paid for 3 nights in advance before seeing my room. When I got to my room it was... more

I have read the previous reviews and cannot believe this is the correct place where I stayed in the summer. I was here in early May and then came back in August. This guest house is very clean , the menu for breakfast is extensive and the staff delightful. It is in a... more

A weekend break with girl friends doesn’t happen very often when you are a single mum of 6. To start with the 1 hr flight was delayed for 3 & a half hours which put us in a bad mood to start with. On arrival the B&B looked lovely from outside(homely) which is what we were... more
