Wonderful hotel, excellent location
Pros:

The location was perfect because the bus stop was right in front of the hotel and stops were frequent. Also, the welcome was kind and accommodating. Plus, the hotel is beautiful.

Cons:

We booked the same room for Thursday and Friday nights, but the jump in price from one night to the next seemed exorbitant and arbitrary. We almost opted for something else because of it.

Local limpo, com acesso fácel ao centro e aeroporto.
Pros:

Café da manhã excelente, apenas que precisava escolher, no dia do check-in, uma das opções disponíveis e seguir com ela todos os dias da hospedagem. Apesar de longe da cidade, muito bem atendido por transporte público, tanto para o centro da cidade, quanto para ao aeroporto. Quartos grandes, camas boas, com todas as comodidades.

Cons:

Café da manhã com horário marcado e pré-seleção das opções disponíveis uma vez só para todos os dias de hospedagem.

Comfortable nice place
Pros:

Location, 20 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes by bus to Princes Street

Cons:

Rooms need some refreshing. While England and Scotland practically invented modern indoor plumbing, you still have things like the one in the picture you don’t see anywhere anymore

Дуже зручно, комфортно і тихо. Раджу!
Pros:

Дуже зручне місцерозташування. Тихий невеликий готель з досить просторими номерами. Номер був чистий зі всім необхідним. Ситний сніданок і дуже доброзичливі працівники.

Cons:

Через рух повітря, але коли відкривались зовнішні двері, двері в мою кімнату стукали теж. Досить старий шкаф, скрипів сильно при відкритті.
