Naseer United Kingdom

I made a mistake during booking the hotel. Both Booking.com and the owner helped to resolve this as a paid upfront. They did a fantastic job. Hotel is small but that is why we booked it. Staff was friendly and room was clean. We used public transport to get into Edinburgh and that went great with line 26. This stops in front of the hotel.

Frederik Netherlands

Great Location on sea side and closer to Edinburgh City Centre

Staff very friendly and welcoming, excellent breakfast service and rooms clean and beds very comfortable. Beautiful location
