There isn’t too much wrong with the Kings Manor but it isn’t easy to love this place, which has a feel of the 1970s about it. The location is pretty good if you want somewhere that is easy to access by car. It has free parking and is on a bus route. The greeting in reception was friendly and helpful and the directions to my room were clear. The building has been extended over the years and doesn’t have any kind of atmosphere. The door to the room was quite scuffed and scruffy. It was one of those old-fashioned hollow ones with a cheap veneer surface. Definitely not sound proof! The room was compact but had everything I needed, including a very nice, modern shower room. The room was clean and the bed was OK, without being luxurious. On checking in, I was required to reserve a table for breakfast. A sign on the Reception desk rather sternly warns guests that, if they are late for their reserved slot, it is unlikely that staff will be able to accommodate them later. That being the case, it seems a pity that they can’t get the dining room open at the advertised time! The breakfast was fine although I never managed to find the advertised porridge. Check out was smooth, speedy and friendly. All in all, the hotel is OK as a stop-off but it feels characterless and stuck in a previous decade. The building extension hasn’t done anything to generate any feeling of warmth or cosiness, although the staff certainly do their best to mitigate this.

Staff extremely professional in all departments. Only snag was heating was set on timer and room got very cold through the night. Also length of curtains in room 109 was ceiling to floor which would be excellent for drafts but when closed blocked off heat from heaters,so heating was not effective at all. Apart from that I will definitely stay again and recommend this hotel.

We enjoyed our stay here in Portobello best western. Hotel is clean, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. We would have enjoyed the adjoining gym if we had more time. Had a lovely walk to the beach and up Portibello where some lovely shops are and had a latte before the walk back. Room was quite small but we were comfortable, and clean. No fridge which we are used to having and a complimentary water always nice. I think perhaps some new carpet and paint will freshen the hotel rooms and hallways but really was nice as is, perhaps consider for future for sure.

We stayed just the night. The room was quite spacious for a king sized bed and a twin in the same room. The biggest let down was the cleanliness. Husband went into the shower the next morning and used the bath gel, which was a home to the most foul smelling mold concoction. The room smelled like burning sulphur and made it difficult to breathe. Called the reception that sent someone over immediately who only poured out the previous content and just replaced it with the new soap mix. They did nothing to address the sulphur smell and said nothing else but "that's so weird" we have not had it before. The reception also just noted it down without really offering an apology or an alternative room. We checked out super early around 6-7 am. Such a shame, the hotel should do better around hospitality and cleanliness.

I would not stay here again. The room smelled like smoke and there were stains everywhere. The sheets and pillow cases had tears in them. The walls were paper thin and you could hear everything above, below and beside you. The staff had little to no knowledge of simple questions, like an exit to the parking lot.

Not a nice place to stay
The hotel is very basic, different from advertising photos. small space of room is just enough for a bed, chairs in the room dirty, shower is small and slow water droplets, towels are sticky, no bottle of spring waters for expensive night rates, carpet is dirty…..not worth of money spend even compared with a hostel

Was only in the hotel for one night for work and overall it was ok just not great. Room was dated and needs an update. Dinner service was again just ok, nothing special but not mind blowing, a huge menu to choose from which always concerns me.

Clean hotel 20-min from the city centre by bus. Room décor quite dated but the bed was comfy and I had a pleasant night. There is one type 2 electric car charging point which was a huge bonus for me, having only stayed one night for a course I was ready to head home the next day.
