"Lovely guest house in the shadow of Arthur's Seat"

9.0

Great location within walking distance of the Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat, and many restaurants and cafes. Busses also available. Very clean, sufficient room for us, but we are small. The bed would have been a bit cramped for tall people or those used to king beds. Fridge and microwave available for use. Quiet, charming neighborhood. Off the main road. We would definitely go back. Very reasonable for Edinburgh.

The quilt on the bed was a bit too warm.

"Tranquilo y cómodo"

9.0

El chico que nos atendió fue muy amable y nos explicó bastantes cosas referente a qué hacer o el transporte público para llegar al centro. Cama muy cómoda y mucha tranquilidad. Habitación y baño muy limpio. Nos dejaron té y café en la habitación. Todo muy bien.

Por decir algo, comentar que está a 30 - 40 minutos andando de la Royal Mile. Algo a tener en cuenta si no quieres coger transporte público; pero hay buses que te dejan cerca del centro y el alojamiento cada poco.

La amabilidad de la anfitriona

La habitación era grande, al igual que el baño. Lo que no me pareció bien es que en la publicación figura con baño privado pero no te avisan que no está dentro de la habitación sino que se encuentra en el primer piso.

Camera piccola ma pulita, dotata di asciugacapelli e bollitore (con caffè e thè lasciati ogni giorno). Davanti alla struttura presente una fermata dei bus.
