Edinburgh Hotel Guide - 3 star hotels in Portobello, Edinburgh

Stayed for two nights at the start of a driving holiday through Scotland. Good base as transport by bus in to the centre of Edinburgh was right outside the hotel and so reasonable at £4.00 for a day ticket. Much better than driving in and the expense of parking. Hotel had good facilities, but we not equipped to partake of them. We did not eat in the hotel, so cannot comment. Free Car parking a big bonus, even if spaces not always either easy to find or near where you might want to be.

Brian checked me in and was really friendly. The room was beautiful, though a little chilly (I assume because of the wooden floors - in any case, it soon warmed up!) There were sweet little touches in the en suite that made it lovely and homey. The shower worked perfectly. The breakfasts were delicious and promptly served as you wanted them in the mornings. I'm a local but even I was happy to have the bus stop right outside the building for easy access to the city centre - I assume it would be extra helpful for a tourist who didn't know their way around. Overall it was a lovely, fuss free stay and I would recommend the Aynetree to anybody.
