Fine for a one night stay but not longer as the lack of sleep would be hard going.
Pros:

Location was great, staff lovely, food and drink choices fab and rooms well furnished with fluffy towels, fridge items and hair dryer and ghd straighteners 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

Cons:

Backed out onto a side road with nighttime revellers, early morning bin collections and building work 😩

Perfekt beliggenhed og fantastisk morgenmad
Pros:

Virkelig god beliggenhed. Rigtig lækker morgenmad som man vælger alacarte i restauranten.
Smagfuldt indrettet værelse med god kaffe og lækre produkter på badeværelset

Kommer helt sikkert igen.

Cons:

Vi boede i nr.1 der var en del larm tidligt om morgenen fra køkkenet og varermodtagelse.
Vi kunne ikke trække mørklækningsgardinerne fra uden at håndværkere fra gaden kunne se direkte ind i vores seng.

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.
