Pros:

المكان من ناحية الهدوء والقرب ممتاز
الموظفين متعاونين جدا وكانو متفاهمين والغرفه مساحتها للشخصين ممتازه جدا

Cons:

الغرفه لا يوجد بها عازل
اصوات دورات المياه للغرف المجاوره تسمع بوضوح ومزعجه
اصوات الغرفه اللي كانت فوق مباشرا نسمع اصوات خطواتهم وتحريك الاغراض

تم وضع لنا رساله من قبل موظفه النظافه كنوع من التهديد وغرامه تصل الى 150 باوند لقولها بانني ادخن وفي حال التكرار سيتم الالغاء حجزكم
وبعد توجهي الى الاستقبال لم يكن سبب التدخين بل استخدام الفحم والبخور وتفهمو ذالك

Pleasant experience overall---good room/sleep and excellent staff
Pros:

I was traveling with a friend and we had separate rooms and each had very positive experiences. Quiet room with good mattress and linens, immaculately clean-- as was the bathroom, which was spacious and modern. There was no room noise from outside and we slept well. We loved the location as we hiked Arthurs Seat, Calton Hill, and walked back and forth into Old Town. Very quick and easy to walk from Waverly station where the airport bus dropped us off. It was nearby to our Ember bus stop for e4 trip. It was also a quick walk from where Hairy Coo bus tours pick up on Regent road. We visited the nearby pub twice and had great meals, we also had breakfast at hotel every day. Breakfast room was a lovely setting and had many choices at a reasonable price. The staff was exceptional in every way. They helped us store our bags and went above and beyond each time we interacted with them. Our stay was lovely in every way.
