Straven Guesthouse - Edinburgh

Beautiful double room offered excellent sea views, made mornings a pleasure. The common room provided a lovely hangout with fine vistas, ideal.

A little bar for a nightcap would've been a nice touch, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. The checkout process was smooth, but having to find a spot nearby for a night drink was an inconvenience.

It offers very tasty and gorgeous breakfasts.

The rooms are big, bright, and come with a work desk, tea/coffee making equipment and a TV set. The lovely bed, best I've ever slept in. The location is magnificent, it is near a bus stop.

we will choose the place for future trips, thank you for a really lovely stay. clean hotel, absolutely fantastic breakfast, the location is fantastic not far from edinburgh, portobello beach and the seaside. the rooms are spotless with handy fridge and the staff are amicable.

Let's talk about what really matters

A wonderful weekend spent in a place where hospitality shines. The seafront location is perfect for relaxed strolls, and the breakfast is a highlight, especially the Shakshuka! Clean and comfy rooms ensure a restful stay. The helpful hosts create a warm atmosphere. I cannot wait to return!

The so-called beautiful double room with sea view was only slightly above average. And while they offered to hold my luggage post-checkout, how charming. A little bar for a nightcap woudl ve been nice, but I suppose improvisation is the name of the game here. I was almost convinced to give a good review, but I just couldn't.

hosts provided everything we needed. dispite that, no proper bar on-site.

Warm hospitality from the hosts. The breakfasts were generous and delicious (the Shakshuka was a star!) and the common area had fine views. Portobello Beach was just a stroll away.

Having a designated area for evening drinks would be a nice touch, but we made the most of the common room instead.

This place exceeded my expectations on my return visit to edinburgh. The breakfast was delicious, especially the shakshuka, and the sea views from my room were a lovely touch.

a bar for nightcaps would be nice.

would definitely recommend for getting around area

Homely atmosphere, helpful hosts, with comfortable double room providing all essential amenities and easy access to the beach.

Everything! Homely atmosphere, meticulous attention to detail, convenient coastal access!

Had an amazing stay with fantastic breakfast options, and I especially loved the Shakshuka! The common room was perfect for relaxing after exploring, and I enjoyed the peaceful environment for a great night's sleep. If only they had a small bar, but grabbing a drink from the shop and unwinding with the view worked just fine. 😊

The breakfast was great, with generous portions that always hit the spot. The location offered lovely views and easy access to the beach and a local swim center. A cozy and warm vibe.

a little bar would be nice, but who needs that 😄

The rooms were bright and reasonably spacious with a handy fridge, and the location was great, just a stone's throw from both the seafront and the city center, making the Portobello district a charming area to discover.

The location is fantastic, close to the city center and cafes. the staff are friendly and amazing, making the stay a wonderful experience. the breakfast is fantastic and gorgeous.

The hotel is well appointed and set in a stunning area. the room was huge and equipped with a handy fridge and a great bed. the staff was friendly and amazing on arrival and throughout the stay.
