Aynetree Guest House

Overpriced and underwhelming, small room had problems locking doors. No parking available on-site only 3 parks for 20 rooms and needed to park on street. Noise from other rooms consistently both next door and above us. Breakfast room was storage room for extra bedding and not inviting and their was no breakfast available.

It is charming in some ways but the service was minimal. Because it is fat from the center of town, the inn might take this into consideration in its breakfast options. Only dry cereal, and no bowls or spoons visible. No coffee, just instant powder in the room. Only black tea, no herbal alternative. Also, there was none in hand to greet guests or assist them. It has some lovely potential but could use an upgrade in hospitality.

This is not a hotel but I did have a good, clean, modern room

Not a good experience; the bed was not fit for 2 people to sleep especially when it’s 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 couldn’t 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.

Chambre et salle de bain petites mais propres, et avec une literie correcte. Quelques désagréments (eau chaude aléatoire, store non fonctionnel…), mais surtout un tarif extrêmement élevé en août, qui n’était en rien justifié par la qualité fournie.

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!

Proche des transports, simple d'accès. Très bon accueil. Proche de commerces. Proche de la route donc forcément un peu bruillant à cause de la circulation, mais chambre avec double vitrage.

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.

Aynetree was perfect for our stay ~ thank you!

I won’t 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 who’s is not functional

It's a bit shabby and the electric socket hanging by a wire from the wall made us worry it is unsafe

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.

The caretaker was very serviceminded and made the stay very pleasent.

Good location, helpful manager

Hote très sympathique. Chambre propre avec plateau de courtoisie. Guesthouse très bien placée et quartier calme. Proximité de Portobello agréable

Comfortable beds, very clean and freshly decorated. We were in the modern extension and there was real lack of soundproofing as we could hear our neighbours chatting etc. No one onsite which meant we didn't feel like we could ask for extra pillows when we realised in the evening that there was only one on one of the beds and we felt it too late to ask. Initially no hairdryer in room or tv remote control, staff were on site at the time dealing with check-ins and quickly rectified this but we later found remote was for a different make so tv still didn't work. Shared tea and coffee facilities (not in room) but downstairs and no teabags left on evening we arrived also no sink down there to fill kettle. Very limited parking but lots of places to park for free in surrounding side streets. Overall the place was clean and freshly decorated, the beds comfy and bathroom fresh and modern so for a night it was absolutely fine.
