Estancia comfortable, buena relación calidad-precio
Pros:

Buenas instalaciones, habitación limpia y cómoda, muy buena localización, zona tranquila con comercios y restaurantes cerca, a 5 minutos de Princess Street y a unos 15-20 minutos caminando a la Royal Mile.Personal muy amable.Sin duda volvería a hospedarme allí.

Cons:

Si tienes el desayuno incluido, el hotel no dispone de instalaciones propias, tienes que cruzar la calle y entrar en un bar- restaurante en el que te dan elegir de su menú una opción (bastante bueno eso sí) y te entra el té o infusiones, si quieres un café espresso o capuchino tienes que pagar un extra…
