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.
Their listing said daily housekeeping. We stayed for 3 nights and did not have any housekeeping. You can catch multiple busses right out front but there are limited options close by. There is a nice grocery store within a block. The majority of the closest restaurants are near the beach which is 15-20 min walk. The proximity to the beach is nice though.
Beautiful room! Right on the bus routes. Only downside is that when arriving you need to call the owner to check in, but being from Canada we didn't have the ability to make local calls and no one replied to us on Expedia chat either. But otherwise and amazing place to stay!
It would have been nice to have a proper stand up shower. The bed was comfortable & the breeze through the windows made for a refreshing nightâs sleep.
Very little parking available, very hot rooms,
small rooms, not enough room for luggage.
No amenities, coffee only 1 of the 3 days we stayed.
Good locations, available buses. Close to Portabella Beach.
Iâd like to leave an honest and fair review to help others. We booked a double bed ensuite from this property. Let's start with the positives.
Positives:
1- Fair price for an ensuite in the vicinity of the city center
2- Bathroom: spacious and clean(although we had trouble to close the door in our room due to a shift caused by temperature change).
3- Check in: it was quick and they gave us a choice between two rooms.
4- Location: it was close to a bus stop and portobello beach.
Negatives:
All related to their false information in their itinerary and description of the room.
1- Sound proof: it wasnât sound proof but also the most sound friendly room I booked! You could hear any sounds and voices (sometimes clear conversations) from all directions except floor (we were on the ground floor and there was no living thing or moving object under!)
2- Daily housekeeping: this should mean the usuals being done on a daily basis (towels, tp, bins) which was not the case. First day it hasnât been done and I contacted the property and they said âwe do not go to in room without guest permissionâ I said âok could you start the daily housekeeping from tomorrow please â they did daily cleaning but they skipped the day after although it was obvious that I gave permission to our room to be entered.
Itâs like being offered a chicken, mayo, and salad sandwich, but receiving one without the salad. Regardless of the priceâeven ÂŁ1 per nightâwe didnât get what was promised, which is disappointing.
There is no staff on the property. Make sure you have a fully charged phone before arriving, as you will need to call someone to discover your room # and how to get in. After getting in, the place is clean and comfortable. However, if you have questions or need anything...again, you have your phone only.
