    A pousada fica a uns 20 minutos de ônibus da parte mais turística - “Royal mile” mas a parada de ônibus é do lado. Para quem vier do aeroporto recomendo ir até a estação de Edimburgo e pegar ônibus para a pousada. Ou uber também funciona. Com isso em vista, tive o melhor atendimento em hotel, todos os funcionários foram muito solicitos. A cama é confortável e o quarto agradável e silencioso 🙏

    Staff very helpful. Property is classic with a tangible spiritual history.

    I was put in room 6 which was through a strange ante-room which was unlit. There was very little privacy in the room with a large window straight out onto a main road - I had to have the curtains closed - a blind would have solved this issue. The room was barren. One small towel, no bath mat, no hand towel. Lack of accessible plug sockets. Nowhere to plug in the hairdryer that you could then see a mirror. The room was VERY noisy. The road noise isn’t the fault of the property but the old windows didn’t help. The internal noise went on until 11pm. The stairs to the staff areas were close by and were very creaky. There were constantly people up and down them. it sounded like furniture was being built in the room directly above! The doorbell went at 10.47pm which was a staff member returning and there was then loud chat as they went through the ante room and up the stairs. I left at 7.40am and was told that breakfast wouldn’t be ready for another 20 mins. Overall building security and room door security didn’t feel good. Single old Yale lock and no deadbolt or chain to secure from inside. Parking was good and links to the city and bypass are good.

    All staff were perfect. They made us feel special. Continental breakfast was not enough. Our room was close to street we could hear the car's sounds and there was a noise from stairs constantly. Hotel could be considered close to the city centre. Bus station in front of the hotel.
