Comfy and very clean. Good restaurant, but no formal reception.

If I'm honest I didn't expect much due to the price It was almost three times cheaper than other options further out of Edinburgh The room was small but clean and bed comfortable Cosy with tea and coffee facilities Hair dryer provided and shower small again but clean and modern Bonus is the bar downstairs offering a range of drinks including Tennants and Beaver town neck oil. Best take your own travel iron but nothing else really needed Are immediately round the area isn't great but has an Aldi and Lidl within 5 mins walk. 2 miles away from Portobello beach with hip cafes and takeaways so either take a walk along there and enjoy the sunset or even take a dip. Great location for a trip to Edinburgh Just 23 min drive passing Holyrood area. Beautiful! Well worth the stay No breakfasts at the hotel. We recommend 5 mins round the block go to Company bakery on eskmills estate. Very swanky and lovely coffee.

This review was nearly one star. First of all, this is not a guest house - it’s a pub with a few rooms. We arrived tired after a long journey on a Saturday night and our room was directly above the pub lounge that had very loud musical entertainment. The music went on late and then we were kept awake by the pub clients’ loud singing until they were sent home. Our room was large and clean but there were some stains on the bed cover. The bathroom door was broken and the WiFi didn’t work despite entering the correct password several times. The only toiletries provided were a couple of tiny rounds of soap. No body wash or shampoo. We had breakfast on Sunday morning and the lady serving was lovely. Sunday and Monday nights were thankfully quieter. We ate at the restaurant once more for dinner and again the same lovely lady served us and the food was good. This lady is why we have awarded more stars. In summary, if you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay do not book this place on a weekend. If it’s a week day and you don’t mind not having breakfast included (they stopped serving breakfast on week days) then it’s ok, made much better by the lovely lady in the restaurant.

It was a last minute booking with a small discount on the price so decided to go for it. The rooms looked decent, we were coming to Musselburgh and knew the hotel was central to where we wanted to be based. Unfortunately, the hotel is more of a pub with rooms rather than a hotel. The room is very small but is clean. The bathroom is very small, the shower cubicle far too small with absolutely no space to turn or bend down to pick up soap or shampoo, with no shelf to hold soap or shampoo. So, showering was not an enjoyable or relaxing experience. Add in the power-saving bathroom light that turns off and in unless movement is detected and it just becomes really annoying. There was tea and coffee available in the room but they were of average quality. All things considered, I definitely won't be rushing back.

Spacious room, good shower. Very busy pub and when we arrived it was clear they were short staffed. Bit noisy but didn’t go on too late. Breakfast is only available at the weekends, there was some confusion as I had an email telling me there was no breakfast service. I had emailed back but didn't get a reply. Having said that breakfast was good and the man serving was really friendly and helpful. The bus stop right outside is great if you want to go into Edinburgh (stop is on Princes Street.

Easy access to centre and beach

Great place to stay , lovely staff ,great location for Edinburgh

La chambre était très bien, le personnel très sympathique.

Property was lovely and clean, the room was nice and spacious, bed was lovely and comfortable. As a side note, breakfast doesn’t start until 9am, which is quite a late start for most hotels, it didn’t mention this on the Expedia booking and we didn’t see any information in the hotel or in the room regarding meal times.

.

Turned up at the dining room to find no service and told they no longer provide breakfast despite advertising stating breakfast available between 8 to 11 am Our room,toilet ,shower and bed not cleaned or made up during our visit. No staff were available to explain situation.we will not be back and will not recommend to anywhone.we will use ship inn in future

Staff are great, they really look after you. Was disappointed that the hotel is not doing brakfast anymore, but other than that all good.

It’s an ideal place to stay to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including Portobello, being far enough out of the city for a bit of peace and quiet. Everything you need is easily within reach. Dinner was tasty enough and the beer went down well. Staff were very friendly and there if you needed them for the most part. A fantastic price, easy to get to, I would be happy to stay here again no problem.

The inn was lovely. The food was wonderful. The locals were friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend.

I’ve stayed previously but won’t be back . No hot water for shower and unable to make a hot drink due to faulty kettle. No breakfast availability either as hotel not staffed overnight or early am. I stayed Sunday night. I know it’s a budget hotel but if it says you are able to make tea/coffee then that should be the case and hot water is not a luxury

The hotel was busy for drinks and food when we arrived to check in. Unfortunately no breakfast available. The room was massive , no noise ,and we had a great sleep. I would recommend it if you could do without breakfast. Fairly quiet at night with the bar closing at 10. We enjoyed it though and would go back.

We had a lovely room,bit of a mix up booking in as our name was not on the list,but was easily sorted,just a wee bit attention to touch i would suggest,a few cobwebs and a dodgy bathroom handle,couple of lil holes in the lampshade next to the bed but on thw whole would certainly stay again,fabulous price for our 2 night stay,also gr8 location for regular public transport,well don to the team at Ravelston House,hope to see you all soon,and on a plus side entertainment on Saturday night was top notch,Keith Dyer was superb😄

The check in was good. Room abit tired. Only one bedside table for a double room. Where kettle was on window ledge felt sticky.the restaurant side was lovely. Excellent meal & staff. Bar side very tired. Stained seats.

Room was a bit cold but it was very spacious with a large and comfortable bed. Unfortunately, no breakfast on weekdays. Dinner was good and not overpriced.

great welcome, lively hotel / bar
