Really pleased with my stay. Upgraded me from single room to double. Staff couldnt have been more helpful. There was a problem with the water supply in room so they moved me to a better room. Comfortable bed, great size room, lovely and quiet, good sleep, breakfast was good. Free parking. Bus stop to get all over Edinburgh and back, right across the road. For what I paid it was excellent. Thank you!

It was overall a pleasant stay in the residence. The staff, most especially Romik were warm and welcoming. I even got a room upgrade which I highly appreciated not to mention the comfty bed! Location is also convenient as you have direct buses that can take you to the city center. I highly recommend staying at this accommodation.

A pousada fica a uns 20 minutos de ônibus da parte mais turística - “Royal mile” mas a parada de ônibus é do lado. Para quem vier do aeroporto recomendo ir até a estação de Edimburgo e pegar ônibus para a pousada. Ou uber também funciona. Com isso em vista, tive o melhor atendimento em hotel, todos os funcionários foram muito solicitos. A cama é confortável e o quarto agradável e silencioso 🙏

All staff were perfect. They made us feel special. Continental breakfast was not enough. Our room was close to street we could hear the car's sounds and there was a noise from stairs constantly. Hotel could be considered close to the city centre. Bus station in front of the hotel.

Für Biker gut Parkmöglichkeit. Mit dem Bus in 20 Minuten in die City. Betten ein bisschen zu Weich.

Excellent and friendly welcome, room was checked over before giving us the keys, answered our questions (regarding public transport to Edinburgh). Good night’s sleep, comfortable and quiet.

Comfortable, close to shops and restaurants, away from centre and hence less busy. Staff were exceptionally helpful especially Romik.
