    sea views
    common room
    bar availability

    Deluxe double room offered outstanding sea views that made mornings a pleasure. The common room provided a lovely hangout with stunning vistas, ideal for relaxing after a long day.

    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.

    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, making every moment special. I cannot wait to return!

    room quality
    bar availability

    the so-called deluxe 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.

    warm hospitality
    generous breakfasts
    stunning views
    designated drink area

    Warm hospitality from the hosts made us feel at home! The breakfasts were generous and absolutely delicious (the Shakshuka was a star! ) and the common area had stunning 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.

    my stay at straven guesthouse was fantastic! this place truly 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.

    fantastic breakfast
    comfortable relaxation
    peaceful environment
    missing bar

    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. 😊

    generous breakfast
    lovely views
    missing bar

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

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