Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ellwyn House from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ellwyn House is often praised for its clean and spacious rooms, some offering pleasant views, and the convenience of having a bus stop right in front for easy access to the city center, about 15 minutes away. The proximity to Portobello beach is another highlight for many, reachable within a short 10-15 minute walk. While most find the location convenient, a few guests have noted that the road nearby can be a bit noisy.

Acceptable Stay. Room for Improvement.

lack hot water unsoundproof room
The shower lacked hot water. I found the bed to be the worst I have ever slept on, with springs poking me all night and no support. The room was not soundproof at all. I could hear and smell the kitchen to the restaurant downstairs, as well as other guests chatting and walking around the hotel. It was also a ways from the city center.

Charming Stay Close to the City

handy bus stop helpful communication super clean room
The bus stop is conveniently across the street. A ride goes straight to the city center. I appreciated the prompt and helpful communication I had with the staff before arrival. I enjoyed the super clean room .
The bathroom could use some updates, especially the taps. It took quite a while to get hot water.
Rooms

The room included a comfortable bed. It was nicely decorated with a large television. There was ample space for one person to relax and unwind after a day of exploring.
