“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.”

A Solid Stay Close to the Action
clean roomclose bus stoptasty breakfasthelpful staff
The room was clean. The bus stop was close to the hotel. It made accessing the city center simple. The hotel also provided a very tasty breakfast, which I appreciated before my outings. The owner and staff were helpful, as well.
I noticed slight wear in some areas. A little update would be beneficial.
Location

The hotel is conveniently located near a bus stop. This makes it easy to access the city center. The area also felt safe for walking, even at night. I found the proximity to transport links very useful.

The room was quite spacious. That was a plus.
The room was freezing. I could hear all the traffic outside because the windows are so old and thin (seriously, they need to be replaced!).

the staff offered a warm welcome and the space felt safe. i liked the little touches like toiletries and tea and coffee. beds were very comfortable!
The road noises were loud, it sounded like the windows were open even though they weren't. the bathroom felt cold, but the bedroom was fairly warm. the lighting in my bathroom was fixed with an aluminium container because the lampshade wasn't complete. I didn't feel safe turning the light on...
