“My stay here was marked by genuinely friendly staff and a surprising sense of quiet comfort, a welcome change from the city's bustle. The rooms, though perhaps not opulent, are clean, well-appointed with thoughtful touches, and feature incredibly comfortable beds. Its location, moments from a bus route into the centre, also provides easy access to Portobello beach, offering a pleasant duality for visitors.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uklothian
