Amamos, bem localizado, voce consegue ir a pé para a maioria dos pontos turísticos, quarto espaçoso, café da manhã bom, dona muito atenciosa
Room was on the 3rd floor with no baggage assistance. Mattress was memory foam topper on a sagging mattress below. Pillows were smelly. Breakfast was average.

To describe the property and room as basic would be an exaggeration. The only redeeming factor was the breakfast.

Very Poor Conditions
Paid in the region of £135.00 for a very below standard top floor room. Room in very poor condition 2 Metal beds on a very thin foam mattresses carpet needed exchanging facilities provide & bedding of poor quality. Breakfast needs to be earlier for those needing to travel & work 8:30 far to late.

Staff was very nice, helped us get our luggage inside and very friendly welcome. Showed us to our room and showed us how to use locks, and let us know to reach out for any help we needed. Breakfast was amazing.

Meget glad og imødekommende vært, der lod os få vores værelse før tid.
Meget behjælpelig med al oplysning og booke taxi til lufthavnen.
Kan varmt anbefales!

Positiv war, dass wir unser Fahrzeug und den Anhänger kostenlos parken konnten. Sauberkeit war okay, hätte mir gewünscht, dass bei 5 Übernachtungen auch mal die Wäsche getauscht wird. Mehr Auswahl beim Frühstück wäre toll. Sehr freundliche Eigentümerin.

Nice room in a nice place conveniently located
Our stay here was great. The owners were available to advise on parking, shopping and restaurants. The nearby pub, the Old Bell, was a short walk and served good food and drink. There was also an Indian food restaurant that was excellent. All was good with our room. Parking is tight and requires 2 rows so the second row cars need to leave contact info (room no/name) if they need to move for a first row car to leave. Bus stop was very near and took us right to the Royal Mile, the Day Pass is a great option. Note that are several different room options, we had room 8 on the 2nd floor (level 1 in EU) lots of room and an ensuite bathroom.
