A pleasant stay apart from the stairs.
Pros:

The location was good. Convenient for all aspects of tourism.

Cons:

I was aware there were steps to the apartment but didn’t imagine how many over many flights of stairs. 90 steps to our apartment on the top floor. Not for anyone with mobility ailments. My husband and I coped but it wasn’t easy. Having to take quite a few rests between flights.

Pros:

Otel tam merkezi bir konumda. Her yere yürüme mesafesinde. Kod ile giriyorsunuz. Apartman kapısı ve daire kapısı uygulama üzerinden açılıyor. Başta zorlandık ancak iligli birim hızlıca sorunlarımızı çözdü. Temizdi. Mutfak alanını kullanmadık. Ancak hızlıca atıştırmak için gayet yeterli.

Cons:

Biraz loş bir ışık kaynağı var. Şehir zaten karanlık bir tık bunaltıcı olabiliyor. Valiz içinde bir şey aradığınız için.

Perfecte locatie voor een citytrip Edinburgh

Locatie was perfect op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden en openbaar vervoer

Average
Pros:

Decor, central location, easy check in, clean.

Cons:

Noise from bar below as well as a constant whirring noise which sounded like a bathroom hand dryer. Description said landmark views, however we looked out onto a carpark.
Duvet and pillows not of good quality. Room was very dark with poor lighting.
Room was smaller than pictures look.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The worst mattress I have ever slept on; it felt on one side like a cannonball had been dropped on it from a great height. The indentation which was about the size of a head could have held a melon.

A pleasant stay
Pros:

It was an excellent location but it was expensive for its value -price ratio.

Cons:

I asked which floor the flat was and i was told it had 2 flights of stairs, wrong it was 4 flights of stairs! I always clean the lace I stay in and take the rubbish out.! The instructions to check out was over the top! Clean your dishes, take your rubbish out, do this that! When you want to book a place for bag, they don't give you the address because they want to take their cut from the place! I don't like to have everything done through pins and codes with no human element. I have lived in Glasgow for ages ,so i would suggest a less "instructions orientated" check out! We pay for a clean apartment anywhere in the world and personally in the 93 countries I have visited!. Thank God they didn't ask me to mop and hoover the flat and wash the sheets and towels! The TV had too many codes even to watch a normal channel.
