Byliśmy tam dwie noce, pierwszy raz w życiu nie cieszyłem się z nocowania w hotelu.
Pros:

Śniadanie angielskie, całkiem smaczne.

Cons:

W hotelu dosłownie wszystko posklejane taśmą klejącą, szafki, półki w łazienkach a nawet brodzik prysznica.

The location is ideal for travellers but some aspects of the hotel needed attention.
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, close to great transport links to the city centre and, in my case, to Edinburgh airport. The hotel had a rundown feel to it however the bedroom was clean and comfortable as I expected. It was very quiet and peaceful. James on reception was also very welcoming.

Cons:

The shared bathroom was very disappointing. It looked like someone had done a bodged job in the finish…there was even a hole in the floor. Additionally, the shower did not function properly. Each time I pressed start it started for a couple of seconds and then switched off. Useless !
A small gripe. I had to be at the airport before 5am so I was up very early. James kindly offered to leave me some fruit to take with me on my journey. Unfortunately this didn’t happen.

Adequate for short stay but wouldn't like to book it long term
Pros:

The staff were pleasant enough and more than helpful. The breakfast was nicely presented and made fresh to your choice, the location was good for the bus routes to and from the town and airport

Cons:

I was disappointed that there was no restaurant facility as my understanding of a hotel is food and drink to save having ot go out especially as there were no bars or eateries within walking distance. I also booked a double room but was actually given a twin. Comfortable but I'm not into sleeping in a single bed but as it was only 2 full nights I accepted it.

Reasonable stay
Pros:

The shower pressure was excellent. Detachable and moveable shower head as well so you don't have to wet your hair if you don't want to.

Bus stop for city centre literally at the front door.

Cons:

EVERYTHING creaked.

Sound proofing between rooms basically non existent.

Kann man mal machen für eine Nacht...aber es muss definitiv renoviert/saniert werden.
Pros:

Es ist halt typisch englisches Frühstück...aber die gute Frau fürs Frühstück war MEGA nett und hilfsbereit...die Zettel zum bestellen waren schon irgendwie lustig...

Cons:

Leider waren die Bäder relativ schmutzig und teilweise schimmelig dazu seeeehr alt ...Duschvorhänge waren völlig ekelhaft!!!
