Great stay at the Greyfriars 👍🏼
Pros:

The location. Value for money. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Fiona at breakfast was lovely and gave excellent customer service. The lift was a plus.

Cons:

A rogue extractor fan in the bathroom that would not switch off even when the light was turned up. Reported to management. Received a discount voucher for food. More than satisfactory outcome. They had called an electrician but did not come before we left. Did not spoil our stay but needs sorting for the next guests who stay in room 211.

Hermoso!!!
Pros:

El ambiente de pub del local era muy atractivo, la habitacion superior muy limpia y nos toco la habitacion esquina, asique estaba muy iluminada y las vistan eran hermosas. No habia ruido en la noche, asique fue muy reconfortante.
El desayuno caliente estuvo delicioso.
La habitacion era amplia, la cama grande y queda todo cerca, la universidad, el castillo el campo de golf y las calle de comercio principal. Asique espectacular!

Frustrating with no internet and no parking.
Pros:

Good location, easy walk to the castle and church ruins. One block off shopping street, many restaurants nearby.

Cons:

NO internet!! Very frustrating!
Guest checkin is in the Bar. Rooms are above the bar but they were quiet. Just handed us the key. Did not try the breakfast. Went to Starbucks for internet…
There is NO parking in this city, parking lot next door was always full. We drove all around before finding a spot. Sorry, but we do not recommend.
