“Ellwyn House, situated a bit outside the city center, struck me as a particularly good choice for solo female travelers, given the expressed sense of safety and immediate access to bus lines. Its proximity to Portobello beach is a genuine advantage, offering a quieter retreat after a day in the city. The on-site Indian restaurant and helpful staff only add to its appeal.”
