Herrliche Lage für Ausflüge ins Zentrum
Pros:

Optimal gelegen für Ausflüge ins Zentrum. Das Zummer war sehr ruhig. Von den Nachbarn hat man nichts gehört😅. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung.

Cons:

Es ist alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnte mal eine Auffrischung gebrauchen.

Nothing really wrong with it but wouldn’t stay there again
Pros:

The room was OK without being special.

Cons:

The location is about a 30 minute walk from central Edinburgh.
OK but not up to Marriott standard.
Has aged a bit.

A warm welcome and a great staff.
Pros:

Room was excellent. Clean and good facilities. location was first class, midway between the city centre and facilities, and dramatic countryside,

Cons:

no complaints at all. A particular word of credit for the front of house staff, they were charming, helpful and utterly positive. A particular thanks and recognition to the ladies who staffed this area. Brilliant and thank you!
