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

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 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

Hi Gus, just to say what a lovely relaxing time Rob and I had this w-e at the Rockville. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left your staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The room (no 10) was beautiful with superb views not to mention very comfortable!! We arrived tired and some what frazzled as we both have some very stressful family things to deal with just now as well as very early morning starts! Hence why we ended much to our disappointment being light weights on Saturday night lol!! However we left feeling refreshed and very relaxed. We can't wait to do it again and maybe stay up a bit longer lol!! So a big thank you to you and your lovely staff. Who needs therapy when you have the Rockville!!    P.S. Cullen skink  to die for! Xx

I visited the Rockville for a pre Christmas Dinner with my two daughters, son in law and three grand chidren, Teagan 17, Connor 7 & Jenna 2, and two other adults. The hotel staff greeted us with a smile and a warm welcome. We sat in the small comfortable bar area while waiting for our table, the drinks were served quickly and were reasonably priced. The meal was well presented and well cooked, the turkey was tender and moist, and the vegetables were perfect, the waiting staff ensured that we were served quickly and took extra time with my autistic grandson. I would reccommend the Rockville to anyone looking for a small friendly place to enjoy a well cooked meal. The hotel is on a main bus route from the city centre.

Family Feast

First time in this restaurant .  Parking available in hotel carpark and on the street. On a bus route from Edinburgh and Musselburgh
Food was very good. Haggis fritters to start, a lot to eat. Fish dishes were very good.
Waitress was friendly and polite and walked us through to our table. 
Would like to visit in daylight as sea views at side of conservatory where restaurant is situated.
Will visit again to try other dishes. Very good.
