Rockville Hotel

About Rockville Hotel

Joppa, on Edinburgh's eastern edge, sits close to Portobello Beach and the paths that run along the Firth of Forth, making it a handy base for those who'd rather stay near the coast than in the thick of the city centre. The Rockville Hotel occupies a spot along Joppa Pans, with good transport links into Edinburgh proper and free on-site parking for anyone arriving by car.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, and family and accessible rooms are available, with some looking out over the sea. A restaurant and bar are on site, breakfast is served, and kids' meals and packed lunches can be arranged for those out exploring for the day. Free WiFi, drinks in the room, laundry service and 24 hour reception cover the practical side of things, and there's a garden with outdoor seating plus meeting rooms for those combining business with the trip.

Outside, the local area suits walkers and cyclists, with golf, fishing and watersports also within reach, and pubs, restaurants and other eateries nearby for evenings out. It's a functional choice rather than a destination in itself, well placed for the beach and the city beyond.
