8/10, great stay, staff was the highlight
Pros:

Location, staff were so polite and excellent, bath and bathroom facilities great, partner loved the bed and found it comfy, I prefer softer beds but were still good, so much space in hotel room

Cons:

No mini fridge, small amount of mold on ceiling in bathroom, thought the space could have been used up better

Pros:

Location walkable to city centre. Historic feel to the hotel. Rooms are large and comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast quite sparse for price. Cleaning was supbar. Wet floor towels would be left in a heap on the sill, even though towels not changed for 3 days.

Pros:

El edificio era bonito, si bien no estaba en el centro Edimburgo es una ciudad pequeña y en una caminata de 15 min ya estabas en el castillo y centro histórico.

Hotel muito confortável e bem localizado.
Pros:

A localização do hotel é muito boa, pois as principais atrações turísticas da cidade ficam próximas e é possível fazer tudo caminhando. Além disso, o hotel possui instalações super confortáveis e é bem atendido pela rede de transporte público.

Cons:

Não gostar é uma expressão muito forte. Talvez, apenas a título de sugestão, o café da manhã pudesse conter um pouco mais de variedade. Mas isso não significa que não gostei ou mesmo que o café servido não seja bom. Aliás, atende às necessidades a que se destina.

Pros:

Il personale accogliente e disponibile a soddisfare le nostre esigenze (possibilità di regolare la temperatura della stanza e tenere i nostri bagagli).. La camera pulita (nonostante la maledetta moquette inglese!) e gli asciugamani cambiati ogni giorno. La posizione centrale sia per l'accesso all'areoporto sia per la visita al centro della città. La disponibilità di shampoo e di bagnoschiuma è stata gradita, considerando i limiti di bagaglio per il viaggio in aereo.

Cons:

L'unica pecca è l'assenza di prese in bagno.
