Pros:

Habitación limpia todos los días. Las camas son cómodas. Al baño tiene sus toallas todos los días limpias. El restaurante está muy bien para desayunar o lo que surja. El personal super amable. Y la ubicación es justo al lado de la histórica Abadía de Dunfermline donde está enterrado Rober the Bruce. Está a unos cinco minutos de la estación de tren que te lleva a Edinburgh por lo que no necesitas coche para los traslados normales a los alrededores.

Cons:

El fin de semana hay fiesta discotequera en el restaurante, eso si cortan a las 00:00. Mi habitación captaba toco el tiempo el ruido como de ventiladores. Pero mis amigos estaban en otra habitación y no lo escucharon ninguno de los días que estuvimos alojados.

Ideal centrally located hotel. Noisy but friendly.
Pros:

The location was very central to the town. Near the shops and a beautiful park.
The room was spotlessly clean, and newly refurbished. We had a full Scottish breakfast, which was excellent.

Cons:

The road outside was really noisy. But we thought it might be because it was so centrally located.
The breakfast staff were lovely but the lay out of the dining area seemed really disorganised. They were run off their feet, and we waited quite a while for our breakfast, and they needed reminding that we were still waiting for a pot of tea.
There was big cob webs hanging down next to our table. When breakfast did arrive, it was excellent.
