Pros:

Schönes kleines Guesthouse. Sehr sympathisches Personal, immer hilfsbereit. Leckeres, frisch gemachtes warmes schottisches Frühstück mit allem drum herum.
Zimmer okay, Möbel schon etwas älter aber durch die Deko sehr gemütlich. Bushaltestelle direkt vor der Tür. Wir hatten einen tollen Blick auf die City.

Perfecto!!!!
Pros:

El agua de la ducha salía muy flojita y no muy caliente, esa es la única pega. También nos hubiera gustado que hubiese nevera o microondas aunque ya indicaba que no había. Aún así, el resto todo genial, tal y como se indica en el anuncio, cumplió las expectativas y hemos estado perfectos, el personal super amable y atento a nuestras dudas.

Convenient location
Pros:

The location is brilliant, and the breakfasts were good and efficiently served.

Cons:

The mattress in room 5 had the integrity of a slice of white bread soaked in water for two days - truly terrible. This combined with no hot water in the shower made for an uncomfortable stay

Pros:

Soggiorno eccellente al Brig o’ Doon. Colazione inglese ottima e abbondante, preparata ogni mattina da una signora estremamente gentile e attenta, che ci ha fatto sentire davvero benvenute. Molto apprezzata anche la possibilità di avere caffè sempre disponibile nella sala colazione.
La camera era ampia, arredata con grande gusto e molto confortevole. Dalla finestra si godeva di una vista splendida, con il castello ben visibile, davvero suggestiva. Posizione tranquilla e perfetta per un weekend a Edimburgo. Consigliatissimo!

Doskonała, wygodna baza wypadowa.
Pros:

Bardzo komfortowe miejsce na bazę wypadową na miasto. Przystanek dosłownie są furtką. Autobusy linii 14 w ok 20 minut zawożą do centrum miasta, w okolice zamku Caigmiller lub Holyrood Park. Codziennie serwowane tradycyjne śniadanie szkockie. Personel bardzo sympatyczny, komunikatywny, troskliwy. Łóżka wygodne, czysto,.schludnie, przytulnie.

Cons:

Nieco za zimno ze względu na nieszczelne okna, ale pokój wyposażony w dodatkowe koce 👍

Me han estafado
Cons:

Me estafaron. Realicé un cambio de fechas a 3 noches en vez de 4 que inicialmente reservé y pagué. Tras varios intentos de contactar por booking con ellos, me prometieron que me reembolsarían esa noche de la que no disfruté. En el alojamiento, se lo volví a comentar al dueño pero me dijo que ese tema lo llevaba su hijo que no estaba. Les dí un poco de tiempo y volví a mandar varios mensajes más por distintas vías pero nunca me han contestado. Ya ha pasado más de un mes y no he tenido respuesta ni tampoco me han reembolsado nada. Nunca repetiría ni aconsejaría este sitio a nadie.
