Consigliato per famiglie.
Pros:

Ho trovato le camere accoglienti. Molto attenti ai dettagli e la pulizia è stata ottima. Nella mia camera “familiare” ho trovato un microonde molto utile. La stanza era grande abbastanza da contenere un passeggino e stare all’Interno con naturalezza. Ottime le luci soffuse.

Cons:

Nel nord Europa e in molti alberghi l’utilizzo della moquette non è proprio il massimo. Io non la preferisco. La tv non è Smart.

Edimbourg est une ville étonnante .
Pros:

la chambre est un peu exiguë.
Difficile de passer au pied du lit avec la tv car peu de place entre le lit et le mur.
L'emplacement est bien, au calme.
La propreté est bonne.

Cons:

Je n'ai pas apprécié le petit déjeuner, produits médiocres et qualité médiocre.

Sehr gut für kurze Aufenthalte, perfekte Lage und bietet alles, was man braucht.
Pros:

Die Lage ist absolut perfekt. Sehr ruhig und gefühlt abgelegen, aber dennoch gut zu erreichen! Mein Zimmer war sehr sauber und bequem. Das Personal war freundlich.

Cons:

Das WLan hat leider gar nicht funktioniert. Das Frühstück ist typisch Britisch. Ich bin Vegetarierin und buche es beim nächsten Mal nicht gleich mit. Gut, dass es diese Option gibt.
