I truly enjoyed my time at the hotel, saying goodbye to this place has been very bittersweet. I was very well received and felt very welcome here, Sav and Josie are lovely people. The location is great also, Inverkeithing is such a beautiful place as it has lots of nature and breathtaking views along the coastal path. And it is only a short train or bus ride to Edinburgh. I'm very grateful for the time I spent here and I will miss this place!!!

It's very difficult to put into this small space what this experience meant to me. The connection I had with everyone was beautiful, it's emotional just to remember. Josie became a wonderful friend in my life, and Sav, always elegant and kind, was always ready to listen to us. The facilities are very good, working hours are respected, and the work is very easygoing and simple to understand. Plus, it's close to the train station, not to mention the numerous buses that pass nearby. I had the chance to experience a typical Scottish lifestyle and understand the local customs and culture.

This was the best place to enjoy Edinburgh and the beautiful towns around. The hotel is in a strategic area to visit the old town and the Fife region easily. Sav and Josie were very welcoming and great work companions. All the tasks are simple and we always had flexible hours. I highly recommend the hotel to experience the local culture and feel at home in Scotland.
