Pros:

Super zentral, inmitten Old town / Grassmarket. Könnte nicht besser gelegen sein. Zimmer sauber, Schlafsofa war bequem, alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen, an den eint oder anderen Stellen ersichtlich.

Cons:

Zimmer war gegen den Innenhof gerichtet, bei gekipptem Fenster zu schlafen, war nicht möglich Draussen relativ laute Lüftungen (?). Zudem ist das Preisleistungsverhältnis nicht ganz stimmig. Zimmer sind extrem teuer und das für uns als Schweizer.. Hatten für einen Städtetrip in ganz Europa noch nie so viel für ein Zimmer pro Nacht ausgegeben. Frühstück nahmen wir keines im Hotel, da gibt‘s super süsse Kaffee‘s um die Ecke.
