"Wonderful place to explore Edinburg on foot."

10.0

Excellent central location. I could easily walk to many sites. I appreciated resting after a long day of travel and allowed my body to recover from jet lag. Murray is an excellent host of his guest house and he helped me identify sites to visit. Street noise was slightly loud, but that is a small price to pay for the great location and homey atmosphere.

Street noises at night- construction and loud people on the street. Very quiet guests and staff.

6.0

Wir waren herzlich willkommen begrüßt und sehr gute Lokal Vorschläge zum besuchen! Frühstück war ausreichend gut!

Unser klein Zimmer unter den Dach, es sollte nur für Einzelperson oder für Kinder zum übernachten. Es gab nicht genug Platz zum öffnen eine große Koffer! Das Bett ist 1,40 Breit, nicht geeignet für zwei Erwachsene. Es in der dritte Stock mit Treppen, kein Aufzug!! Für Bad mir fehlen die Wörter. Man kann nicht stehen! Eine Basic mindestens Renovierung ist sehr nötig.

"Süßes Guest House mit sehr freundlichem Personal"

10.0

Wir haben hier 4 Tage verbracht und können nur positives berichten. Die Zimmer sind süß und zweckmäßig eingerichtet , man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Murray hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen & alles genau erklärt , sowie manche Geheimtipps zu Edinburgh mitgeteilt. Insbesondere fanden wir das Frühstück toll , da man sich jeden Morgen etwas neues frisch zubereitetes aussuchen konnte. Wir würden immer wieder kommen.
