Amed Wall

Stretching down 30 metres, this tree-like coral shelf lies at the centre of a beautiful garden of gorgonians. It’s in these plants that the rare pygmy seahorse sets up home, which makes Amed Wall your best shot of catching a glimpse. Reef sharks and sea turtles also roam these waters, so there’s no shortage of deep-sea wonders to gawk at.

    Amazing spot. From our windows we had a view of Edinburgh Castle, which was literally a 7 min walk away. Very centrally located, but amazingly quiet. We could walk to all the major points of interest. The flat itself was clean, very accommodating, all the necessary facilites included, nicely decorated, a nice big fridge which was very clean, dishwasher, washing machine and all gadgets one would need. Easy to access, we found parking just behind the apartment. Definitely recommended, would stay here again.

    A cosy apartment with a well-equipped kitchen. Not too far from the city centre. From previous reviews we got an impression that the neighbourhood is somewhat dreary but in fact it is a nice street with nicest people. There is a Greek taverna right across the road, with very good meze. 5 min walk to a large Tesco, Lidl and a great little coffee shop Crumbs, 30 min walk to Edinburgh castle.

    The aparthotel was in a perfect location, 2 minutes walking distance from the old town and maybe 10 from Edinburgh Castle. The rooms were nice and big and all the facilities were working perfectly. We booked an apartment for 5 and after a couple of troubles at the beginning of our stay, everything went smoothly.
