Good place except as stated
Pros:

Excellent breakfast and dinner options.

Cons:

No lift so required very long and difficult stairs to room. Dining room offers, good breakfast and dinners, but for some reason, the dining room is very dark, making it almost impossible to even read a menu.

A great experience for a short stay.
Pros:

Great location, within 5 minutes of the shops & 10 minutes (walk) of the Royal Mile. Lovely rooms (clean, spacious, with a view out onto the street). The staff were awesome, very friendly & happy to help with any questions.

Cons:

The water pressure in the bathroom wasn’t great. Only stayed for 1 night so it wasn’t a massive drama.

A lovely hotel in a quiet part of Edinburgh with access to everything while avoiding the crowds.
Pros:

Excellent customer service, it was in a quiet neighborhood, and an onsite restaurant and bar that were very nice, and the shower with its three different heads was wonderful.

Cons:

Rooms were smaller than we expected. Overall, an excellent visit.

mycket behagligt och trevligt
Pros:

Hotellet var väldigt serviceinriktade och vänliga. Vi fick de trevligaste rummen och en liten gåva

Cons:

Inget man kan ändra på men man bör ha ork att gå upp för trappor om man vill bo högt då det inte finns hiss

中心部ではないが、エジンバラらしい雰囲気はたっぷり
Pros:

事前にベットを2つ用意してもらい、よかったです。エジンバラは、ホテル料金が高いので、1泊7万は普通なのかもしれませんが。
朝食込みのプランは、準備されたもの以外にメニューにある数種類も注文できました。たっぷりで豪華な食事です。
夕食は、ホテルがすすめてくれたお店The Scran and Scallieは手頃な価格で、地元の家族連れが多く、美味しかったです。

Cons:

最近は、歯ブラシはホテルに常備されていませんね。
フェイスタオルがなかった？あったのかもしれませんが、わからなかった。
盗難防止の枠がかかったシャンプーなど、壁にぴったりついて、つかいづらかった。持ってかえる客がいるんでしょうか。そう思われて宿泊するのは、良い気分ではない。

一流の宿泊者がいるところは一流のホテルをつくります。また、反対もあります。

Pros:

Room was lovely and one of front of house was helpful

Cons:

Other staff showed no empathy to an injury caused by shower handle not tightened and hitting and causing bruise to my partners foot. (The day before Edinburgh marathon as well) also it was a heatwave and no forward thinking to having a fan in the room until I asked for one and some ice for the foot. Also room was okay in cleanliness but could have been better

dywany, okna , kafelki w ła i zniszczone.
Pros:

Oryginalny wystroj , smaczne śniadania oraz bardzo miły personel

Cons:

Obiekt wymaga renowacji, za taką cenę nie spodziewałam się pękniętych kafelek na podłodze oraz odprysków na wannie , bardzo zakurzone żaluzje , trudności w otwarciu okna które wynikało z tego że okna są bardzo stare i nie odmalowane, farba na oknach zdarta co utrudnia podnoszenie okien i wymaga siły 2 osób
