The price but I understand during the festival everywhere is expensive

There is a communal area that has a fridge kettle and toaster and plenty of options provided breakfast wise it was very good .The room was very nice if a little warm we opened the window but then it was a bit noisy to try and sleep not the Ship Inns fault .

Room was noisy as the Ship Inn is located on a junction.

Central location Very clean - amazing shower Access to breakfast products

The room was warm at night which meant needing to open the window which then meant the traffic was loud other than that fantastic

The room was a fantastic size

More breakfast food would have been nice, it was v minimal Price of room seemed high for being in Musselburgh/outside Edinburgh but I take the point that both the Festival and Ossis were in town when I stayed. ..

Extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean. Slept great! Really nice bedroom, also lovely bathroom with good hot shower, good water pressure. lots of fluffy towels. Will definitely stay again.

Rooms have a communal kitchen area which became noisy in the morning and woke us up earlier than we intended.

Location was great. A 30 minute bus ride in to the centre of Edinburgh. Nice area, and reasonably easy to get to from the Edinburgh ring road.

This was our second visit to the Ship Inn while attending the races so we knew how lovely it was.The rooms are spotlessly clean and the staff are all lovely and so helpful.This time we booked for dinner and we weren't disappointed everything was delicious. We particularly like the fact it is so near the beach and,weather permitting, to have a walk before leaving for home.

There was nothing we didn't like, thus why we would definitely go back.

Our room was lovely, clean, fresh and, for overlooking the busy road, very quiet. We will definitely be back. We had a very large shower and the shower itself was really good. There is a communal relaxing area with fridge and seating area that was very welcoming.

Great hospitality, fabulous rooms with a brilliant shower! We really enjoyed the dinner in the restaurant and the help yourself continental breakfast. Would highly recommended.

I was a bit surprised to see people cooking in the communal area but maybe I didn’t read the hotel description properly . Didn’t feel very private and if I had been travelling alone , I might have felt uncomfortable . Be perfect for a single group that wanted to rent out all 4 bedrooms together as communal space was nice . Was also disappointed that I couldn’t bring my dog . Nice touch to be able to have tea / toast etc . Food in restaurant and bar looked fab although we didn’t eat as arrived later than hoped .

Check in process could be clearer. Walking into the busy bar with our luggage was a bit awkward - perhaps a designated area for checking in would help.

Spacious and comfortable room, excellent breakfast area and options.

Wonderful staff! Very kind even though we were running a bit late coming from Glasgow. We missed out on dinner both nights, which is a shame bc the restaurant had great reviews. We lucked out with an on street parking spot next to the inn, so we didn’t not move our car the two nights we were there. We took the bus into Edinburgh- convenient bus stop right across the street. Nice, clean quiet room. Sometimes trivia night or darts in the pub below the rooms - but never too loud. So glad we stayed outside of Edinburgh. We brought fish and chips back from a nearby place and enjoyed it in the common area. There was cereal, milk and juice and wonderful bread, butter and jam for toast in the common area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
