Pros:

Výborná snídaně, příjemný personál. Self check-in v pozdních hodinách. U ubytování je autobusová zastávka. Skvělá lokalita🌞

Cons:

Nefungovalo topení, takže na pokoji nám bylo chladno. Trvá tak 5-7 minut, než začne téct teplá voda ve sprše.

Si vous recherchez un cadre écossais avec un accueil très sympathique, je vous le recommande vivemen
Pros:

Style de l'hôtel et petit déjeuner très anglais. La gentillesse de notre hôte. Hôtel proche des arrêts de bus permettant d'accéder dans différents quartiers. Literie très confortable.

Cons:

Prévoir les articles de toilettes (gel douche, shampooing). Il faut compter environ 30 minutes en bus pour se rendre dans le centre d'Édimbourg.

Pros:

Kiváló elhelyezkedésű vendégház, buszmegálló közvetlenül a ház előtt, illetve pár 100 m-re. A személyzet nagyon kedves (csak reggel vannak ott). A reggeli számunkra tökéletes volt. Szívből ajánlom mindenkinek!

Pros:

bed was comfortable

Cons:

I was so disappointed with the room, clean but so ancient with grotty carpet and wallpaper peeling. Towels not changed on the second day or bin emptied even with card was left for room service on door. Kettle dangerous with such a short it could only be boiled on the floor on carpet. Electic sockets in short supply, breakfast was very poor quality, one slice of cheap rant toast. The lady who served breakfast was very pleasant

Pros:

Mi è piaciuta la posizione, ben servita dai mezzi pubblici. Stanza ampia, colazione soddisfacente

Cons:

Stanza ampia ma rumorosa e fredda, le finestre non chiudevano perfettamente, cabina armadi ricolma di scatoloni, coperte e cuscini, niente spazio per gli abiti praticamente un disbrigo. Le rifiniture lasciano a desiderare

Comfortable and convenient
Cons:

Shower cubicle could have been cleaner and some mould around base of it.
Decent comfortable bed and plenty of tea and coffee provided in room although kettle could have done with de-scaling.
Did not have breakfast as had a train to catch. Did not see any staff during my one night stay.
Check in consisted of an email with code for door entrance and room key left on table in hallway.

Pros:

La posizione, in autobus si raggiunge comodamente il centro e la signora che fa le colazioni molto disponibile

Cons:

La nostra camera dava sulla strada, quindi molto rumorosa di giorno e di notte per il passaggio delle auto, il pavimento del bagno scricchiolava molto e la doccia era walk in, senza piatto di ceramica, ma separata solo da una tenda. Colazione scarsa se si è vegetariani o vegani

Not impressed, I wouldn't visit again; although they have the potential to get better
Pros:

Friendly staff (owner), quiet environment, felt (as) at home, good bed.
The overall vibe fits the B&B vibe.
Due to issues, mentioned later, the score gets a hard hit.

Cons:

The shower (room 5) was awful, most of the time it didn't work at all due to a lack of water: sometimes there was no cold water, so the thermostatic tap didn't deliver a drop of water. When I got up at 6:30 (day 2) it was better though.

In general, there was sometimes no cold water at all, not only in the shower. Also when brushing teeth, etc.

The radiator, hence the temp, couldn't be changed. You can turn/spin it as often as you like, it doesn't matter.

The room wasn't cleaned on day one, so no new towels. The towels I used on day one, were still on the floor in the evening. Soaked, as the bathroom floor has a layer of water all over it, after taking a brief shower.

The - in all fairness rather limited - breakfast starts at 7:30, which is a bit tight if you need to join a meeting in the city at 8:30.

Agradable
Pros:

El alojamiento tiene muchas paradas de buses cerca, esto te permite llegar pronto al centro. Pensaba que estaba lejos, pero todo estaba cerca.
El desayuno estaba bien. Típico desayuno ingles muy bien hecho y la atención del personal era muy agradable.
Encontramos un adaptador de enchufe en la habitación, toallas limpias y utensilios de baño.
Si quieres hospedarte aquí en cuestión de calidad precio esta bien a comparación de los precios altos del centro.
Muy buen lugar :)

Cons:

Lo que no me gusto fue que estaba en obras las escaleras y que tendrían que entrar a nuestra habitación para alzar la alfombra. Es verdad que nos informaron con un mensaje el día 1 de nuestra estadía, pero fue un poco incómodo.
La ducha no tenía división con el resto del baño, por tanto todo el piso se encharcaba. Lo sobrellevamos mejor porque nuestro ultimo viaje fue a Corea y los baños son así. Pero para alguien que no está acostumbrado no la pasará bien.

Good value
Pros:

The room itself was very comfy and clean. It is an old structure, so it was quite noisy when you walk around (stairs, floor). The fixtures are quite old and my room was on the road side, so it was quite noisy. But the bed and the rest was amazing. Friendly staff, good breakfasts. 40 mins walking from the city center, but there is a bus stop right in front of the property. Good value
