Goede locatie, leuke mensen mooi voor overnachting.
Pros:

Goede locatie en het personeel was ontzettend aardig

Cons:

Badkamer mankeerde veel aan. Onze kamer lag aan achterkant grenzend aan een straat achter restaurants. Erg veel geluidsoverlast. Van ‘‘s avonds tot volgende middag worden glasbakken gevuld onder je raam en staan constant leveranciers. Daar hadden we echt veel last van. Vond de prijs/kwaliteit verhouding niet helemaal juist.

Pros:

Perfect stay! Great location. Very nice hotel. The beds were very comfy, towels were perfect! and I loved the scent of the soap/lotions. All of this small details made it feel like a luxury hotel. The price is very reasonable for Edingurgh. However, the best thing was the staff - they were all very sweet. The restaurant is also amazing - food was great!

Cons:

There was loud construction nearby - not the hotel's fault. But it might be disturbing in the morning.

Great place
Pros:

Location was perfect, staff very friendly and breakfast was delicious and loads of options. Bar had lovely atmosphere. Room was modern, shower was good and beds comfy.

Cons:

It was noisy outside late at night with a few revellers and on Saturday morning with stuff being wheeled across cobbles outside. Maybe some extra sound proofing would have helped but it was the only flaw.
