Nettes Hotel mit freundlichem Staff, sehr nah an Edinburgh
Pros:

Sehr nette und freundliche Leute, haben uns super Tipps fur Edinburgh gegeben, sehr gutes Frühstück, das Zimmer ist ruhig gelegen und war sauber. Wir würden wieder kommen, wenn wir Edinburgh besuchen.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer hatte kein eigenes Badezimmer, wir hatten ein Gemeinschaftsbad. War nicht so schlimm, eher gewöhnungsbedürftig.

Dirty,old, everything broken.Stay at own risk
Pros:

The Chinese man in reception was polite, however he told us to pick up our take out breakfast from the reception,as we were leaving early.
We went to collect and there wasn't a breakfast waiting as he said there would be.

Cons:

The hotel is extremely run down,dirty and dangerous in places.
I'm not sure how they are still open.
When we arrived we were told we would have to share a bathroom with other guests as our room did not have one.
We were completely mis sold the room and it was not how it was described when booking.
Mix match dirty carpets, old broken beds and furniture,plug socket in the bedroom consisted of an extension lead God knows where it went to.
The bathroom needs a sign stating enter at your own risk it would be more hygienic going for a wee in the carpark.
The bath well the only way I can describe that is it looked like a lot of dirty hairy dogs and been in it.
Hairs and dirt everywhere.
The shower had exposed cooper pipe coming out of the wall into the shower,the toilet had a huge hole in the surrounding wood work were clear tape and been used to no doubt stop the draft along with expose to brick work wall cavity.
All in all I really don't understand how this hotel is still open.

Pros:

It was close to the facilities I needed. It was good value for money

Cons:

The breakfast could be better, it lacked flavour and you didn't get much food. The single room could also do with having a extra pillow instead of just one.

Etape pratique (avec petit déjeuner) pour aller dans le Centre ville en bus.
Pros:

Tout près du stade de Murrayfield, avec l'arrêt de bus au pied de l'hôtel, pour le Centre ville.

Cons:

Etablissement vieillot et pas très bien entretenu (portes qui coincent, support de douche cassé).
Ne mérite pas 3 étoiles.
Restaurant à 700 mètres.

Pros:

Das einzige was gut an dem Hotel ist, ist die Lage und das freundliche Personal.

Cons:

Kaputtes schmutziges Inventar. Keine Auswahl an Frühstück. Man fühlt sich nicht wohl. Für den Preis inakzeptabel.
