Very good location for the price, not too far from the city center. Close to Portobello Beach. Clean. Nice bigh bathroom with a bathtub, not in the room as stated in the booking, which I did not mind as I only stayed one night. Would come back.
Not a good experience; the bed was not fit for 2 people to sleep especially when itâs banked against a wall. Tight small area to move about. Extremely claustrophobic; uncomfortable nights sleep - small fan would have helped. No hot water the first day and couldnât have a shower in the 1st night. We had to have a cold shower. Had to wait 10 mins to enter property for checkin. The phone numbers displayed was not answered. Luckily the number on the app was replied. Very different to what the property promoted.
Easy to access, bustop right outside. It took 25 min to Edinburgh by bus. Our room (with private bathroom) was clean and nice. It was kind of thin walls though, we could all hear each other. We were only there for 3 nights, but we would recommend it!
Host friendly when we arrived. No parking - only had 3 cars on front. Could park our car for free across the road. Believe was a school car park. We entered the building from a side door to the new part of the building. On entrance was tea/coffee making facilities for all of the room (think 6 rooms?)Room new, modern and well decorated including bathroom. Room (20) not huge but adequate for 2 nights. Was at the front of the building so had to shut the window in the early hours because of traffic noise. Bus stop very close and easy to get into Edinburgh. I would book again.
Standard b&b. Good stay for the price. We were comfortable and taken care of. Early check in was allowed for 30 euros. Handful of breakfast options including porridge and cereal. No running water to wash anything in the kitchen area. Grocery store not far away. Transit was easy to get into the city. Just took about 20 minutes or so depending on traffic. Overall good stay and great way to see a bit more of daily life outside of the busy city centre.
We were blinded by the photos on the Internet. The reality is completely different.
For example, the rooms are small and don't even have a wardrobe.
The breakfast room was completely different. Sparse, unloved. It had the charm of a storage room. See photos.
We had a room on the street. The noise was very loud due to the busy street and the poorly insulated and old windows. There is no air conditioning...
The accommodation seems like a detention center for travelers. You're completely on your own; you won't see anyone from the facility. If anything happens, you have a phone number.
You had to take care of your own breakfast. There was instant coffee and tea, and ready-made porridge that you could make yourself. Even at an additional cost, no real breakfast was available
The rooms are not made up.
Upon request, a towel change was possible, but not on Weekends. On Monday the towels were changed. But our overflowing wastebasket was then simply ignored.
I wonât stay there or recommend it to anyone. The noise from adjoining rooms, common area and outside was frustrating,
The room was small and no room for cases
The TV only had movie streaming, no tv channels
There was not enough car parking for the rooms and relied on stack parking whoâs is not functional
