Pros:

En general, un hotel buena relación calidad-precio.
Habitación amplia, con lavabo privado, hervidor, etc. lo básico para una buena estancia en Edimburgo.
Personal muy educado y amable.

Cons:

El hotel está ubicado en buena zona, no muy lejos del centro, pero dos veces pedimos servicio de delivery de restaurantes, les costaba mucho ubicar la zona donde tenían que entregar la comida. Lo mismo pasó al pedir un Uber. Recalcar que no es culpa del hotel, solamente es porque tiene un callejón/ entrada que da al lobby y los repartidores se desorientan al encontrar la entrada.

An excellent stay in lovely hotel in a great city.
Pros:

Reasonably central … The hotel was very clean and quiet during the stay. Bathrooms very clean and well equipped. The breakfast was plentiful and well prepared.
The staff throughout were excellent and friendly offering advice and answering all questions.

Taxis arrived within 2 or 3 mins of the receptionist ordering.

Apparently the building used to be a Maternity hospital and the place where Stuart Sutcliffe of early Beatles fame was born.

Cons:

A very minor gripes for me were that the bed was too hard and the room too hot. But as I say minor issues.
