We had an amazing stay at Hotel Ceilidh-Donia! Kevin was very helpful giving us tips on buses and where to go, the beds were very comfortable and we got an excellent breakfeast every day. The room was super clean and cozy. It felt like a taste of real Scotland :)

Stunning apartments!! The room was immaculate, great amenities, so clean and bright, the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in!! The staff were fantastic, so friendly, welcoming and accomodating. The location was just great too, central, right at a tram stop but tucked away off the main road. Would 100% recommend and come back to in the future. Lovely added extra with a little gift bag for their opening of the apartments, thanks so much.

The rooms were cosy. Breakfest was served in a bag and was sufficient for us fringe goers. Many fringe theathers were within a walking distance (we like walking, but there are busses available also.) peaceful. Not cheap. But functioned very well for us.
