Estupenda estancia en hotel confortable y muy bien ubicado.
Pros:

Nos ha encantado la ubicación, el tamaño de la habitación, el confort en la misma, calidad en los juegos de sabana, nórdico almohada, calidad de las toallas, detalles del té, café, galletas, patito de obsequio.dispones de todo lo necesario en la habitación como secador, plancha. Muy buena calidad del descanso (nuestra habitación daba al interior) . Calidad - precio excelente

Cons:

Quizá las vistas desde la habitación, pero lo compensó el resto.

Great location, have stayed here many times and will go back. Within walking distance of everywhere
Pros:

Great location, within walking distance of everywhere you would want to go. Our room was clean and comfortable and very reasonably priced.

Cons:

The lift was right beside us so every time it arrived on our floor we could clearly hear the audible lift warnings in our room, went until 2am and started again at 6am which was very annoying. We decided to get breakfast in the hotel as it was raining and breakfast ended up costing a third of the price of the room.

Pros:

Excellent location and the hotel itself is nice and modern . Staff were very pleasant and it was nice and quiet at night

Cons:

My only criticism and this is the pillow were a bit too soft I prefer a firmer pillow . I asked at reception and they don't offer an alternative but I didn't expect any hotels do so it's not really a complaint. We also stayed in the city of Edinburgh hotel whereas the main hotel is a few doors down so if you wanted a drink or food at night you need to walk down although it's literally a few doors down. I will definitely stay here again
