False information!

I’d like to leave an honest and fair review to help others. We booked a double bed ensuite from this property. Let's start with the positives. Positives: 1- Fair price for an ensuite in the vicinity of the city center 2- Bathroom: spacious and clean(although we had trouble to close the door in our room due to a shift caused by temperature change). 3- Check in: it was quick and they gave us a choice between two rooms. 4- Location: it was close to a bus stop and portobello beach. Negatives: All related to their false information in their itinerary and description of the room. 1- Sound proof: it wasn’t sound proof but also the most sound friendly room I booked! You could hear any sounds and voices (sometimes clear conversations) from all directions except floor (we were on the ground floor and there was no living thing or moving object under!) 2- Daily housekeeping: this should mean the usuals being done on a daily basis (towels, tp, bins) which was not the case. First day it hasn’t been done and I contacted the property and they said “we do not go to in room without guest permission” I said “ok could you start the daily housekeeping from tomorrow please ” they did daily cleaning but they skipped the day after although it was obvious that I gave permission to our room to be entered. It’s like being offered a chicken, mayo, and salad sandwich, but receiving one without the salad. Regardless of the price—even £1 per night—we didn’t get what was promised, which is disappointing.

There is no staff on the property. Make sure you have a fully charged phone before arriving, as you will need to call someone to discover your room # and how to get in. After getting in, the place is clean and comfortable. However, if you have questions or need anything...again, you have your phone only.

The owner of this place is amazing. I had an issue with the car rental company and he offered to help which he didn't have to but was greatly appreciated. The room was immaculate. The bathroom, which is important to me was very clean as well. The city is right around the corner. There's a bus that takes you directly there. The parking is a little tricky but it wasn't anything that was too bad. I really recommend this place to anyone who travels to Edinburgh. It's close enough to the city but not in the hectic part of the city

Good for the price

The stay was suitable for our trip, the room was clean. The only thing I would like to add is that the facilities just need adjusting e.g more toiletries to be offered, and things like a iron to be added downstairs if you did need them, and the door slams so maybe a clasp or something to be added to make it quieter for other guests.

Overall, good and clean

The room was functional for our needs, with a newly renovated and nice bathroom. However, the bedroom felt a bit tight for a couple, and there were no hangers for clothing or provided toiletries. It’s a good option if you’re looking for a quiet, no-frills place to rest. That said, check-in was a bit stressful—there were no clear instructions, and no one was there to greet us right at check-in time. Additionally, I thought I was booking a room within the guesthouse but was instead assigned a newer room with an independent entry, which was fine but seemed much smaller than the one I originally selected.

Incorrectly advertised.

We were disappointed about the trip. the young girl was nice when we arrived and showed us where breakfast would be in the morning. She also told us that it was help yourself cereals and tea or coffee, which was all we would have wanted. Unfortunately, we could not get into the room, as couldn't other guests who were expecting the same breakfast. My wife called the number we had and go a curt man who she thought was aggressively rude. He told her that they was no breakfast include. Hotels.com websites shows photos of the "breakfast area", and if you ask the question, the AI bot tells you there is breakfast. Was it worth the money? No, it was just a small room. Not as good as described.

Great place to stay

Brand new rooms. Close to city center. Plenty of safe, free parking across the street at the school lot. Slight confusion with rooms at check in, but they figured it out. Rooms are small, but more than enough for a night or two. Shower was fantastic! There is a central older house, and the two wings with new rooms. There was construction going on, but not a big deal to us.

No reception on arrival. Property looked like a construction site. No instruction to be received or where to go. Had to call the mobile phone on the roadside sign. Rude manager who said twice we were welcome to go somewhere else. No fridge. Very small room. Totally unsatisfactory experience. Wotif also needs to make sure its suppliers are of quality. Will never use wotif again nor will I ever recommend this guest house.

Aynetree Guest House Review

Hosts were very friendly and accessible. The section of the building where we stayed was newly built and clean. Work wasn't completely finished e.g. the walkway to the building wasn't finished and could be a potential hazard. They also need to change/update the photos on the Hotels.com site as they don't reflect the room we stayed in. The photos showed larger rooms and access to a dining area. The building may've had these facilities but was not where we stayed. However, the room we stayed was acceptable.
