Edimburgo en julio
Pros:

La ubicación, la tranquilidad, el desayuno, el personal muy amable pero poca gente para atender. Habia un frigorífico pequeño y dispone de cafetera y tetera. La cama era muy grande y la habitación muy tranquila que daba al jardín.

Cons:

El colchón era demasiado blando y en el baño había un problema con el lavabo que no dejaba de gotear y el suelo estaba siempre mojado.

Cozy central hotel
Pros:

Great room and service. Good variations in the breakfast buffet. Nice room, with toilet articles and all you need in the room.

Cons:

The place is under renovations and you can see it need it in some of the building. It looks old, but soon new again.

Pros:

Lovely stay for myself and toddler. Room was small(but perfect for us) had all essential necessities. Buses easily located outside into the centre and many good late opening food options and supermarkets nearby. Special thanks to receptionist Rihan, very friendly member of staff, and any other staff were all welcoming also. Would book again if back in Edinburgh.

Excellent.
Pros:

Location superb, breakfast excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Nothing really, however, I wanted a quick cuppa in my room and that machine looks way too complicated. A kettle, Nescafé sachets and little milks would be so much easier. Didn’t bother having a cuppa in the end.

VISITA BREVE DI EDIMBURGO
Pros:

Camera e bagno recentemente ristrutturati, tutto molto bello, peccato per la puzza di vernice, ma non creava un grosso disagio. Buona colazione e ottima posizione per visitare la città. Staff molto carino e disponibile. Parcheggio privato preziosissimo.

Cons:

Lavori di ristrutturazione in pieno periodo estivo, ma non hanno provocato disagi.
