"Our stay in Edinburgh"

8.0

Murray the owner was brilliant, he couldn't do enough for us, great breakfast and only a 10 min walk from the railway station Waverley.

The stairs, but Murray did help carry our bags up and down. The pillows need replacing.

"A lovely, friendly stay in a traditional Edinburgh guest house positioned right in the heart of the city. Murray was mos"

9.0

The location of the property was fantastic, right in the heart of New Town, but with so easy access to all areas of the City. Both buses and the tram passes so close by, and it’s a great base for any walking tour of the city.

Nothing.

Sehr zentrale Lage für Erkundung der Innenstadt, aber auch für Anschluss an Bus, Bahn und Flughafen. Dem wunderbaren Gastgeber besonderen Dank für seine zugewandte und überaus freundliche Art. Wir haben uns sofort angekommen gefühlt. Und probiert unbedingt sein Frühstück!

Posizione strategica e rapporto qualità prezzo

Quasi nulla, le scale un po’ faticose e se posso dare un consiglio mancano attaccapanni
