Overall Ratings & Reviews Aynetree Guest House

Interior facilities were in a new addition. Showers were nice. Easy access to bus. Rooms were small for the price paid. Photos of dining room and parking did not represent what was available on site. The exterior of the site was not clean due to construction.

As usual for Edinburg Guest houses, the value for money was rather poor. Pros: spacious room, good beds, everything was clean. Cons: no parking space as stated in the booking, no breakfast (!!!), the bathroom was designed for disabled people, so the sink was much to low; teeth brushing wasn't possible for "normal"people.

Nice property having extensions built so was a bit noisy at time's

Very nice room and quiet area

If you’re on the bottom you’ll hear the upstairs noise.

Excellent place, tidy and good facilities. Relatively new on the inside and easy parking!

Room 6 compares more to a broom cupboard than a small room. One electric socket, no working heating except the last evening of our stay, light was provided by a naked light bulb. The so called bathroom has no heating at all. It all felt very uncomfortable and not inviting.

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 night’s sleep.

Even though I replied to the email requesting our arrival time thre was nobody at the property to let us in.After a few attempts I eventually got hold of someone who came with the keys. The lack of a host on site made it fel a souless place. We stayed in room 3 and have reported a nail protruding out of the floorboards but have not had a reply to the email. The property is loated on good transport links and the room was well sized and laid out. The addition of a host and offer of breakfast in the dining room would enhance customers stay and give them a point of contact.

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.

I’d 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 wasn’t 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 hasn’t been done and I contacted the property and they said “we do not go to in room without guest permission” I said “ok could you start the daily housekeeping from tomorrow please ” they did daily cleaning but they skipped the day after although it was obvious that I gave permission to our room to be entered. It’s like being offered a chicken, mayo, and salad sandwich, but receiving one without the salad. Regardless of the price—even £1 per night—we didn’t 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.

The owner of this place is amazing. I had an issue with the car rental company and he offered to help which he didn't have to but was greatly appreciated. The room was immaculate. The bathroom, which is important to me was very clean as well. The city is right around the corner. There's a bus that takes you directly there. The parking is a little tricky but it wasn't anything that was too bad. I really recommend this place to anyone who travels to Edinburgh. It's close enough to the city but not in the hectic part of the city

The stay was suitable for our trip, the room was clean. The only thing I would like to add is that the facilities just need adjusting e.g more toiletries to be offered, and things like a iron to be added downstairs if you did need them, and the door slams so maybe a clasp or something to be added to make it quieter for other guests.

The room was functional for our needs, with a newly renovated and nice bathroom. However, the bedroom felt a bit tight for a couple, and there were no hangers for clothing or provided toiletries. It’s a good option if you’re looking for a quiet, no-frills place to rest. That said, check-in was a bit stressful—there were no clear instructions, and no one was there to greet us right at check-in time. Additionally, I thought I was booking a room within the guesthouse but was instead assigned a newer room with an independent entry, which was fine but seemed much smaller than the one I originally selected.

We were disappointed about the trip. the young girl was nice when we arrived and showed us where breakfast would be in the morning. She also told us that it was help yourself cereals and tea or coffee, which was all we would have wanted. Unfortunately, we could not get into the room, as couldn't other guests who were expecting the same breakfast. My wife called the number we had and go a curt man who she thought was aggressively rude. He told her that they was no breakfast include. Hotels.com websites shows photos of the "breakfast area", and if you ask the question, the AI bot tells you there is breakfast. Was it worth the money? No, it was just a small room. Not as good as described.

Good

Stayed 3 nights to explore Edinburgh had a comfortable stay welcoming host rooms were renovated and clean

Really liked the convenient location and the host was really lovely and friendly. The room was clean and to my standards.

Brand new rooms. Close to city center. Plenty of safe, free parking across the street at the school lot. Slight confusion with rooms at check in, but they figured it out. Rooms are small, but more than enough for a night or two. Shower was fantastic! There is a central older house, and the two wings with new rooms. There was construction going on, but not a big deal to us.
