Amed Wall

Stretching down almost 100 feet, this tree-like coral shelf lies in the middle of a beautiful garden of gorgonians. It’s in these plants that the rare pygmy seahorse makes its home – so Amed Wall is 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 check out.

    Good location, easy access to public transportation restaurants, shops and all sights. Even though there is nowhere to store bags, they allow you to store them at their main office about 5 minutes walk away, because this is not a traditional hotel (no front desk etc), it’s part of a network of apartments run by Edinburgh Castle Apartments and Suites… that’s a bit hard to tell from the listing.

    It is a very well located apartment, if you don't have problems with walking a little, it is very close to everything, in our case we went to Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and Princes Street on foot. The apartment is super comfortable, we were four people and up to eight can stay, which means that we were very comfortable.

    Cozy, modern hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Very central hotel, everything at your doorstep apart from an off license shop which was around 10-15 min walk but meant we got to explore a little. Room was clean and fresh. Tv was massive! Bed super comfy, really no major complaints, would definitely stay again and so chuffed with the deal we got for booking in January! Edinburgh castle was a 5 minute walk, close to all the major shops and Harry Potter themed shops. Loads of pubs and restaurants to choose from.

    This hotel was great! Directly across the street from the cute Grassmarket area, Victoria St. is right next to it, Edinburgh Castle is a 5 min walk although it is up 2-3 flights of stairs so be prepared for that lol! The hotel itself was clean, we felt really safe while staying there.
