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.

    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.

    location is perfect. You can see the back side of EDinburgh castle when you stand in front of the hostel. Lots of shops, pubs and cafe & restaurants nearby which was great. Room was okay. The pods helped in term of lil privacy when staying in hostel. But the toilet and shower facilities were not upto my expectations. The toilets are very very small and the washbasin is too tine that you cant even wash your face properly. Breakfast is very basic. but you cant expect much for 5 £ i guess.
