Pros:

The location was great and staff friendly, and the mini bar was a fun touch with a good selection.

Cons:

Stayed in a basement room and it smelled damp. Also run down in areas of the room and needed painting. Disappointing in parts and felt attention to the overall impression of the room was not as good as advertised.

Great spot in a busy tourist town. Go in November on a Tuesday. Or February or March.
Pros:

Location was perfect. We could reach everything we wanted to from there and it was an easy walk from the train station. The room was very quiet at night, and the staff were friendly enough.

Cons:

I know - it's not reasonable to expect places in northern England to have air conditioners (yet). We were there during a heat wave, and there was zero circulation in our room. The small electric fan we had rattled and made it harder to sleep than the heat. We left a night early despite knowing there'd be no refund. Back to Edinburgh where it was reliably cooler.

Great location but expensive for what you get
Pros:

Location was excellent and proximity to parking

Cons:

Very hot there was a fan but it wasn’t enough and the windows did not open very wide
The price was extremely high for the lack of premium . It was nice and clean but not premium but at the right price point
Small bathroom and not much room in the bedroom to move about

Really enjoyable. Lovely room and very clean. Would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

It was beautifully presented. The room was modern and well maintained. Loved staying in the old property and the location was excellent with the Museum Garden opposite and on such a historical road.

Cons:

Parking was ok but it doesn’t have a car park (but I knew that when I booked). Breakfast was on a tray in the bedroom. Would have preferred to select from a small buffet - but it was still excellent quality.

Nice but not Luxury
Pros:

Nice building and a good area

Cons:

Bed was very uncomfortable, springs poking into your back, also a little tatty in places and needs some upkeep, tiles coming off the walls and radiator rusty.
