On arrival I spoke with the Owner as on previous occasions we have been in a room with no heating in the middle of winter and on another occasion, no hot water for showering when we stayed for two nights, despite complaining about the fact we had no water. On this occasion we did have heating and the shower was warm but not hot. There does seem to be a lack of staff with one member of staff having everything to do front of house i.e taking food orders, serving the bar, checking customers in therefore some times you can have a bit of a wait to be dealt with / served.

The room was clean, but very cold when we arrived at 5 Oclock. Itcwould have been good if tge heating had been on for our arrival.We had a meal in the restaurant, it was very nice and staff were friendly. When we got back to our room at 7 oclock the heating was on and room had warmed up. The bed was 2 singles put together unfortunately one of the matresses was very uncomfortable the other matress was good. We were in room 5.

Everything was awful with this place , and unfortunately we never got breakfast served and chance to get any other food option. The disavventure started last night when we arrived at 20:45 for clock in with also a restaurant booking, and when we arrived there we been told that the kitchen was already closed, even if we had restaurant confirmation and could see a waitress coming out from the kitchen with some big orders, but they couldn’t bother to have more clients and they left us without food, and this was already a bad start and didn’t find any other option for us to get some food. The night evolved even worst, with a itchy bed and also no heather , i was freezing all night and wasn’t nobody in the hotel for get assistance, in the morning I wished to had a shower, but wasn’t any hot water running, the place was so cold and everything was very unpleasant. When finally in the late morning I managed to find someone working in the hotel they weren’t very reasonable and actually meanwhile some of the woman staff assisted t me and checked the condition of the room and could see that the heater wasn’t working and the hot water wasn’t running and was a lot of condensation at the window , I had to deal with two men that were very intimidating and rude, finishing to harassing me and didn’t feel safe and welcome in that place , everything was very unfair and for the money I paid nothing was worth.

Cute place

Really nice location if you are looking for a place to stay around Edinburgh and parking was a plus. The rooms were clean and cute, however the water in the shower was nowhere warm enough and during the first night there was a lot of noise coming from the adjacent room (every time someone opened the door next to our room it felt like they were coming into our room instead which made it difficult to sleep) although all ok the other nights

An older property but refurbished to a high standard. We chose this property as a means of visiting Edinburgh without he hassle of parking our vehicle in town. We took the bus into Edinburgh from Musselburgh. Very convenient.

The rooms in the hotel are nice and clean. It was a bit noisy with a singer on in the bar, his volume was ok it was some of the guests who were enjoying themselves that were very loud. Breakfast was fantastic, lovely fresh hot food. Shame there was no orange juice. Will certainly recommend and stay again if the opportunity arises.

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.

Pub with rooms.

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.
