What jenjen58 doesn't like about The Guildford Arms:
We were really looking forward to visiting here, but on walking through the door the smell of sh*t hits you, we had one drink and left as the smell is totally throughout the place, disappointing View all feedback. What travelinspiration likes about The Guildford Arms:
I recently had an early dinner at this restaurant. The dining area upstairs was slightly cramped and small compared to the huge bar area below. However, the food, prices, and service were excellent. Despite the small space, I would definitely visit again for these reasons! View all feedback.

read moreThe Guildford Arms in Edinburgh presents a mixed bag for diners. While its 19th-century charm, excellent selection of ales, and delicious traditional dishes like fish and chips earn praise, issues like unpleasant odors, cramped seating, and inconsistent service overshadow the experience. Some guests have faced rude staff interactions and confusion regarding table availability, leading to disappointment. Additionally, it’s wise to call ahead, as opening times can be unreliable. While some patrons enjoyed their visits and found the food and service commendable, a significant number expressed frustration, suggesting potential improvement is needed for a consistently pleasant dining atmosphere.
