“The place was right on the seafront, easy enough to get to via the 26 bus and reasonably priced. Tv in the room, good shower and ensuite bathroom. Lovely seaside place to stay.”

The guest house was a big mess, the receptionist lied about the booking that there was no more rooms available and gave us a dirty tiny room with no toilet . He lied that he will reduced the price to £39 but he tricked me to collect £49 for the worst room I have ever stayed in my life. I will never stay there again and will never encourage anyone to go there again.

No commendable comments to make I'm afraid. Very disappointing, we booked for two nights but stayed only the one and found alternative accommodation for the second night. Room was very, very poor, noisy with gaps in the window frame making for an uncomfortable night. Welcome was poor, and while breakfast advertised from 8am was told we could not eat at that time because they were 'busy'. After a sleepless night we were offered breakfast by another, more sympathetic, member of staff but the situation was beyond retrieval by that time. I would not recommend this to my worse enemies I'm afraid.

The room was clean enough the bathroom was not, the man who let us in could hardly speak English, the breakfast was very poor quality and certainly not value for money you only got one piece of bacon and one egg if you did not like beans that was all you got for a full breakfast also very little choice of cereal. The so called private car park was just off street parking and then only for two cars. Would not stay there again or recommend it

Annie was the best thing about Portobello guest house! She made you feel very relaxed and went out her way to do anything for you! The window only opened up a small bit but everything else was perfect!

We were met by Annie who was friendly and helpful. The rooms were small and very basic, but as we only needed a base for 2 nights the property was adequate. Annie only works for the owner so isnt on site all the time, but whenever we saw her she was pleasant,chatty and willing to help.

The staff was absolutely great, very tasty breakfast and the seaside atmosphere has created very nice feelings. Room was a little small however it didn't cause us any trouble and staff really tried to find a solution for us.

the friendliness of the staff and the fact that i was a minute away from the beach The room was small and they didn't provide shampoo or bathing gel. Besides, the tv was placed too high that it was annoying for the neck to watch it.

The place was right on the seafront, easy enough to get to via the 26 bus and reasonably priced. Tv in the room, good shower and ensuite bathroom. Lovely seaside place to stay. The staff were a little abrupt, not exactly rude however. Breakfast could have carried on until a little later and was limited to toast and cereal. The room was quite loud when people were walking past due to thin doors.

Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour à portobello guesthouse. Ne pas s'attendre à du grand luxe. Mais c'est typiquement britannique. Presque comme chez l'habitant. Les toilettes dans le couloir et alors? Vous avez les toilettes dans votre chambre chez vous ? Le petit dej est très copieux. Avec le délicieux bacon&eggs préparé par Annie, les toasts, les céréales, les fruits, les yoghourts... La literie est ferme mais agréable. La douche et les serviettes très convenables.

La posizione sul mare stupenda Per accedere alle camere c'è una scala un po' ripida non adatta a persone anziane. Lo staff è limitato ad una sola persona che fa da reception/colazioni/bagagli etc. e che non è il titolare, per cui per qualsiasi richiesta extra e/o problematica non c'è possibilità di trattativa (risposta:non sono il titolare)

B&b en bord de mer, très calme, à 15 min en bus du centre d'édinburgh, très pratique !! L'établissement est plus du type "hotel" que b&b, presque aucun contact avec les propriétaires, chambres un peu petites. Propreté: il ne faut pas être trop maniaque, douche et wc communs.

Die Lage direkt am Meer und die Nähe zur Innenstadt (mit dem Bus 15-20 Minuten). Der Preis war sehr günstig. Das Frühstück ist etwas knapp ausgefallen; es gab leider nur Toast mit Butter/Marmelade und Cornflakes. Das WC und die Teppichböden in den Gängen waren nicht so sauber.

Situation exceptionnelle en bord de mer, à proximité des bus pour se rendre à Edimbourg (à peine 30minutes). Promenade sur la digue très agréable, un pub "The Espy" à 300m sur la digue très agréable, 2 ou 3 plats sympas à environ 10 livres.Le tout à recommander pour une viisite de 2 jours à Edimbourg.

Le petit-déjeuner anglais, très sympa! Sinon, situé à 15 minutes en dehors du centre ville mais juste à côté de la mer (qui n'est pas exceptionnelle, soi dit en passant). Lit très confortable et prix intéressants! N'y aller que pour dormir et pour les petits budgets! Certains murs sont en carton, on entend donc parfois ce qui se passe dans l'autre chambre... Excentré, un peu vétuste.

We had a great stay at the Portobello Guest House. The people were really friendly and easy going. We had a nice breakfast and chat in the morning. Then 20-25 minutes by bus to the city centre. And back a walk on the beach and a pleassant drink in the pub nearby. Really a place to recommend if you want to visit Edingburgh and enjoy a stroll on the beach!
