If you like having breakfast watching curlews and oystercatchers chasing the tide as the sun rises, then this is where you should stay. The sea is right outside the windows, with no promenade in between, in a warm conservatory lit with fairylights against the darkness of a winter morning. 
If you have the constitution for it, you will find the beach is very popular for early morning swimming, no matter the weather.
The place is very quiet. The local shops of Portobello are a ten minute walk away and reflect a quietly progressive, unpretentious community. They include, amongst others, a Greek pastry shop, an old fashioned yet very modern greengrocers, an independent bookshop, supermarkets, a tailors (Edinburgh is full of tailors). Edinburgh four miles away, but the hotel is served by very frequent buses.
Not far from here, on my way into the city, I chanced upon Piershill Cemetery with the grave of The Great Lafayette, a prestigious magician of the golden age whose body was found after a theatre blaze and, in a final posthumous  mystery, found again in the theatre two days later!
Very close by can be found the astonishing monument of the Craigentinny Marbles with an equally mysterious history.
Stay at the Rockville to refresh yourself with an altogether different experience to the bustling crowds of Edinburgh.

Stunning Seaview, Birdwatching, Wild Swimming, and Mysterious Monuments

Four of us sat in the conservatory with a great view over the sea. We had a lovely lunch, the fresh fish and chips were perfect and good to be able to choose large or smaller fish to allow room for a dessert, can recommend the red velvet cheesecake served with ice cream and cream also the apple pie and custard was good too as  were the beers. The staff were attentive and friendly would definitely recommend The Rockville. Plenty free parking on the main road at the hotel and so close to Portobello prom and the beach.

Very nice lunch and location

Dropprd in for lunch because we were in the area and what a lovely surprise.  The staff couldnot have been nicer, The food was very tasty and the portions were generous. There are super views out over the water. Would have no hesitation in recommending Rockville Hotel.

Lunch for two

We stayed for a couple of nights.  The view from the cosy and warm room was beautiful over the North Sea.  The staff were welcoming and friendly.  The bathroom was very clean.  The cooked breakfast was really tasty and you can take your time to enjoy it.  It was served in a dining room over looking the rocky part of the beach.  

We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the haddock was beautifully cooked.  The staff were attentive but not intrusive and we really enjoyed our meal.  

We were very comfortable and felt cared for.  Nothing was any trouble and the staff were very helpful with their knowledge of the area and public transport.  All the staff were polite and happy to help.

All in all, we had a wonderful time and we will definitely stay there again.

Fantastic place and people

Stayed here as an overnight stop doing a tour of Scotland, staff could not have been more helpful, food was lovely and accommodation comfortable and clean, amazing sea view from the room.  It is a little tired and dated, but I’d take that any day to stay in such a welcoming place.

Lovely start to our holiday

Stayed just the one night, unfortunately, would have liked to stay longer, very pleasant and quiet, high regard for Simon who looked after us ,we had lunch and dinner and then breakfast, can't say enough about quality and quantity!
Although it's a comment not  a complaint, the bedroom furniture could do with updating 
The staff were excellent and friendly and helpful would definitely recommend and would return if in area

Mr brunton

Used as a stopover, the Rockville was more than adequate, In fact easily a long stay for visiting Edinburgh. Buses outside.
Clean and comfortable with sea view rooms and a good breakfast made the stay easy and peaceful.
Serves good food and drink - check opening times

Local Hotel On sea Front

Everything was perfect. Staff very friendly and helpful start to finish.  I would recommend this wee find as a special homely place. The prices are reasonable and the food was delicious and fresh. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again if I had the chance.

Family catch up

Popped in here yesterday for a refreshment and lunch after a trip to Portobello. Sat outside as it was a lovely afternoon but got a bit windy so asked to go into conservatory, waitress was very accomadating and gave us a table with beautiful views looking out across the sea. Amazing staff and amazing food. All safety measures in place. Looking forward to going back.

Lunch

We have just returned from a 3 night stay, our room was clean & comfortable with amazing sea views, Simon cooked a brilliant breakfast each morning & looked after us so well, kerryanne was also a credit to this hotel, we will be back.
