Pros:

Ubytovanie sme si zvolili pre super cenu, centrum bolo niekoľkonásobne drahšie.
Ide o príjemný penzión, typický škótskym pomerom, žiaden luxus, posteľ, sprcha, káva, čaj s mliekom a čau.
Plne vyhovujúce našej skupine a dvojdňovej prespávačke. Posteľ tak akurát, pre niektoré páry môže byť doublebad nepostačujúca.
Ubytovanie pre krátke prespatie si kľudne zvolíme aj v budúcnosti.

Cons:

Mali sme na izbe nevymenený uterák pri príchode, ale veľmi milá recepčná situáciu vyriešila veľmi rýchlo k našej spokojnosti.

Pros:

This hotel was absolutely terrible. The water was completely cut off, the room was extremely dirty, and the overall cleanliness was unacceptable. We could not even use the basic facilities properly. Honestly, this place is not worth the money at all. Very disappointing and definitely not recommended.

Cons:

Very disappointing experience. The bedsheets were dirty, the room was generally not clean, and the water pressure in the bathroom was extremely low, which made showering very uncomfortable. Overall, the room was nowhere near the standard we expected, and we were really unhappy with our stay. For the price we paid, this was simply not acceptable. I would not recommend this hotel and definitely would not stay here again.

Valido!!
Pros:

La posizione è molto buona, la fermata dell autobus è proprio davanti. La camera e il bagno erano spaziosi, buono il wifi e c'era tutto l'occorrente per lavarsi. Abbiamo avuto un problema con la finestra e hanno subito risolto.

Cons:

Dalla finestra entrava abbastanza luce e la camera era sulla strada per cui rumorosa. Il letto matrimoniale in realtà era a una piazza e mezzo perciò un po' piccolo per due persone. I cuscini un po' scomodi
