Convenient stop in Edinburgh
Pros:

Very handy for central Edinburgh, bus stop close by. Room lovely and warm. Quiet neighbourhood. Very helpful and friendly cleaner

Cons:

A little shabby and drab, minimal tea and hut milk provided. Small soap sachets only for the shower which I didn’t like.

NIGHTMARE.
Pros:

Turned up to check in just after 10PM after being given instructions to do so - Was left waiting in the porch after phoning the number on the door about 10 times.

I was then told they didn't have a room for me, even though they took my money, confirmed the booking, sent me confirmation emails and messages - and the code for the door, just to then say they didn't have a booking for me...? Madness.

Just what you want after a 14 hour shift.

Never again.

Cons:

A bed would have been nice. Not being kept waiting in the porch at 10PM for what felt like forever. If you don't have rooms, dont let them out. This was booked the day before - I was then left 200 miles from home with nowhere to stay at 10:30PM.

Pros:

Bon emplacement pour se rendre dans le centre de la ville

Cons:

Pas de réception à l'arrivée à l'hôtel, surtout lorsqu'il y a la possibilité de laisser ses valises à 10h, et être reçu par personne. Devoir chercher dans les étages après un personnel.
Le nettoyage des chambres est à revoir, manque de propreté dans les sanitaires. Moquette à changer.

Het is prima voor de prijs die je ervoor betaalt.
Pros:

Het was fijn dat er gelijk een bushalte voor de deur stond waar bussen langskwamen die direct naar het stadscentrum gingen. Ook was het fijn om een eigen wc en douche te hebben. De grootte van een eenpersoonskamer was ook prima.

Cons:

De douche was moeilijk in te stellen, waardoor het erg heet werd. Ook was er zonder vooraankondiging een onderhoudsklus, waarbij ik ineens een grote ladder in mijn kamer zag staan.

can't complain. decent place, next to a bus stop and clean! If stay again
Pros:

Lovely place. The guy checking us in, ended up in a panic when I told him I might need a late check out but I would be sure in the morning. The panic when I couldn't tell him there and then

Cons:

Value for money

Сподобалось, але є нюанси
Pros:

Легко знайти, дуже зручні ліжка, охайно

Cons:

Через коврове покриття присутній сторонній запах (провітрювання допомагає, але за день, поки ми гуляли, воно знову набралося. У кімнаті на 2 ліжка 1 односпальне та 1 двоспальне, всього 1 крісло. Жодного стульчика немає. У нас вікна виходили на жваву дорогу, тож було доволі шумно, але вночі, близько 12, стає тихо.
