Our stay at ”another room” was just wonderful, me and my mum felt so incredibly cared for as they always made sure we had everything we needed and more. You look forward every morning to waking up to eat the wonderful breakfast offered that they so kindly adjust to your needs. When me and my mum had to wake up early to catch a day trip bus the woman of the house was so kind to send us a whole bag of delicious foods and sweets :) During breakfast time we got to hear funny stories and have nice discussions with the lovely owners. The hotel was incredibly cozy and clean and it really felt welcoming. When coming in to our room we were greeted with some bathroom essantials with a basket of sewing thread incase your clothes needed a fix, Along with three folders of different recommendations of resturants and places to visit. Absoloutley no complaints about this place, the owners were the sweetest people you’ll ever meet and we strongly advice to stay at their bed and breakfast for a amazing experience xx Kind regards, Freja and Anne :)

My son and husband stayed here a few weeks ago and my son wanted me to pass on this review on his behalf. Staying at Another Room was the best welcome to Scotland that I could’ve asked for. As most other reviews will mention, the room was very clean, well-furnished and -equipped, and comfortable to stay in, and the location is very convenient too; just a short bus ride gets you straight to the centre, and you’re within easy walking distance of the beautiful Portobello Beach – but what’s truly special about Another Room is the level of truly personal hospitality. Lynne and Rob are incredibly friendly and sociable people who are so incredibly welcoming from the moment you meet them. They offer such interesting anecdotes and stories, and, being Edinburgh locals, are really very helpful sources of advice and knowledge on what to do in the city, and, in my case, getting settled in Edinburgh. Lynne’s tip about IKEA alone saved me a huge amount of hassle moving in! They don’t stop there, though – after all, these are two hosts who make above and beyond seem like the bare minimum! Not only do they personally make a wonderful full breakfast for every guest every morning – as well as home-baking plenty of delicious scones and pancakes with homemade jam! – but they went out of their way to make us a special breakfast, a Lorne sausage and egg roll and blueberry porridge, as an example of a breakfast that I could easily make – and have made! – living alone. These specific choices of breakfasts were also very individual; I had mentioned the previous day when we were chatting about how I’d really enjoyed blueberry porridge my first time in Edinburgh, and I had asked Lynne on our first day what the Lorne sausage was, as it’s quite a specific Scottish food that I hadn’t come across before – and just from that Lynne and Rob very kindly decided to personalise my breakfast!

Very friendly & welcoming hosts who we enjoyed chatting to on arrival & over breakfast. Plenty of information provided & advice given about where to dine out & what to see in the area. Pleasant walk to beachfront & restaurant area on first evening & easy bus ride to town on second day from where we took a tram-ride to Leith & spent most of the day exploring. Big & varied breakfast which we were encouraged to take away to eat since too much for us!

No off-road parking. Situated on busy road so traffic noise bothered us particularly during the night. Too warm to leave windows shut. Bedding too warm for summer season.

Our hosts were the epitome of what a B&B has been and should aspire to be. A place to stay in comfort and enjoy a good morning meal. But also a peak into the true live of the place where you are staying. Talking to them in the morning became was truly a great way to start each day. Due to our personal situation they also provided extra care and attention to detail showed how delightful the Scottish Hospitality really is. Thank you Lynne and Robert for such an amazing stay, one we wish we will repeat someday!

Lovely, comfortable room with a great bathroom. Lynne and Rab were wonderful hosts so friendly and welcoming, full of knowledge about the best ways to get in and out of Edinburgh especially with all the festivals going on whilst we were there. They provided an amazingly generous breakfast that powered us up Arthur's Seat and through the rest of the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend to everyone.

A very friendly B&B. Our room was spotless and was a recently built extension furnished attractively. It had a walk in shower, so no clambering over a bath edge for a shower. There were two different shower heads, a large waterfall one and a smaller detachable one for washing hair. It was at the back of the house so very quiet, with a view of the garden and a distant view of part of the Firth of Forth. It had an excellent bus service nearby into the centre of Edinburgh and taxis came very quickly, which we needed to get to the university area all dressed up for our grandson’s graduation and Lynne or Rob ordered it for us. It’s wise not to take your car into Edinburgh because the parking is difficult and costly and the excellent nearby bus service is cheap. Our car had to have an emergency repair of a new clutch, which Mazda pulled out the stops to do before we left, and Lynne & Rob went out of their way to help us sort out the buses and looked after our luggage on the last day whilst we waited for the car until late afternoon. It was lovely chatting to Lynne every morning over breakfast, who helped us find busses to our different destinations and even worked out the best route for me to walk to Arthur’s seat so I was able to climb it. The beach of Portobello, with it’s many eating places, is also within walking distance.

Nothing really. It's a bit out of the centre of the city so you cannot wander around Edinburgh without catching a bus but they are frequent from Another Room and you are soon into the centre.

The location is excellent: close to the beach, and the bus to the city center stops right in front of the house). The neighborhood is quiet, and there are restaurants close by. The breakfast is delicious and copious (and they will have you pack a few scones and pancakes for the day), and the hosts go above and beyond, they are so lovely and helpful, you'll want to come back. Overall, if you have a chance to stay here, don't miss it, very highly recommended!

Just came back from two nights and what a fantastic stay. Hosts were very welcoming and gave detailed instructions on how to find them. We stayed in a room that would easily accommodate a family of 4. Great views of Edinburgh and can even see the sea. Clean and comfortable with a lovely window seat to relax at the end of the day. Breakfast was an absolute feast and even provided with a goodie bag of freshly made scones, muffins and pancakes. Lovely to be just out of the city. Only visited the beach on the last day and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Would recommend the short walk. Public transport was very reasonable and reliable!

Nothing, it was clean, well equipped and great hosts. Can't go wrong.

The breakfast of legends! Lynne served up an absolute feast complete with bags to take her amazing scones with us for the day. Room was lovely, comfortable, spacious and spotless. Rob gave us some great advice tailored to our son who really enjoyed the National Flight Museum. The location is brilliant, easy drive or bus ride into town with plentiful free street parking. Lynne and Rob explained how the bus worked and gave us great tips for the city. A wonderful stay, highly recommended! Thank you both!

Very very sweet couple who made us amazing breakfast everyday. Very friendly and helpful with any sort of insights you want about Edinburgh. The place is also well maintained and clean. Equipped with all the required essentials. The location is also perfect with the bus stop just a few meters away. Time to city center is only about 20 mins, which is good enough if you want to be away from the noisy city, and yet adequately close.

The price was quite high. However, that is the situation across Edinburgh, not just this place.
