Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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.
