"A pleasant place to stay, convenient to the tram and Princes Street."

8.0

Friendly, helpful host. The location was convenient, and our room was comfortable. It’s nice to stay in a small, locally owned guest house instead of an impersonal hotel.

It’s up several flights of stairs, but the host is happy to help carry bags. Not really a problem.

"Goed verblijf"

8.0

Schoon en netjes. Prima kamers en ontbijt. Goede afstand tot station.

Wat kleine badkamer. Kamers grenzen direct aan ontvangsthal, hoewel ik daar geen last van heb gehad.
