GEWELDIG
Pros:

De locatie is top overal dichtbij, het ontbijt in de kroeg ernaast was prima om de dag te starten voor 15 pond, en je kon nog extra bestellen. Bedden waren super, grote kamer voor 3 personen.

Volgende keer als ik weer naar Edinburgh zou gaan boek ik dit hotel zeker weer.

Cons:

Helemaal niets viel tegen.

Wir würden wieder kommen!!!
Pros:

Die Lage ist einfach spitze… alles wichtige zu Fuß erreichbar!

Cons:

Frühstück ist eher spärlich, man musste entweder als erstes gehen oder damit rechnen, dass man gegebenfalls auf Kaffee und Toast warten muss! Nächstes Mal einfach ohne Frühstück buchen

Great location
Pros:

Location & shower pressure. Staff was nice. Luggage storage was great.

Cons:

Mattress was really hard- too hard. Bathroom had an opaque door, instead of a solid one. Not all rooms have the cute wallpaper seen in the photos. Breakfast was a weird continental breakfast (not great) + order 1 hot food item (yummy) that made us wish we went somewhere else for breakfast.
