Pros:

Op zich mooi gebouw

Cons:

Ik boekte kamer met twee afzonderlijke bedden. Kreeg een dubbel bed. Ze hebben dan gezorgd voor een kamer met twee afzonderlijke bedden. Moest wel 20 pond extra betalen.

Nice enough but potential to be excellent!
Pros:

Lovely welcoming and friendly staff. We arrived early but not a problem and shown to a lounge to wait with coffee for our room to be ready. Really comfy bed in a quiet room, usual tea/coffee and kettle, hairdryer in the room too which was handy! Heating came on later in the evening and the room was nice and cosy when it did.

Although a little out of the city centre the b & b is on a very regular bus route and didn't wait more than a few minutes even on a Sunday. Just takes 10 mins back to Princes Street.

Cons:

The whole place felt a bit tired and in need of a refresh, room could've been cleaned to a higher standard.

Für eine Nacht durchaus in Ordnung
Pros:

Schönes, aber etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Haus. Parkplätze sind hinter dem Hotel vorhanden. 15 Minuten ins Zentrum mit dem Auto. Zimmer war sehr schön und vor allem groß. Gemütlicher Aufenthaltsraum.

Cons:

Im Angebot kein schwarzer Tee. Dusche recht klein. Zimmer beim Bezug am Abend recht kühl. Doppelbett war sehr gut. Einzelbett war o.k.

Pros:

ładna okolica, blisko centrum, świetny dojazd i miła obsługa

Cons:

ogrzewanie jest włączane od 3pm, w pierwszą noc było tak zimno, że nie dało się spać i musiałam dogrzewać się suszarka, w drugą noc dostałam dodatkową farelkę (była już jedna wcześniej ale nic nie dawała)
