Disappointing...did not stay
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

The room beds had lumpy mattresses. The host who we checked in with was cooking really strong smelling food (garlic, oil) which you could smell in the rooms. We didn't stay the night. We tried to stay local and benefit a local business. We moved to a hotel chain. Booking.com should look into this property before it recommends it on their site. It is not as described.

Nice hotel for a few days stay in Edinburgh, no private bathrooms and "cosy" rooms.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and polite, and accessing the hotel was easy after the initial access was granted. The location was ok, not too far from the city centre.

Cons:

The room was quite small and cramped for 2 people. It was also difficult to get in and out of the bed as it was pushed against the wall. We had a shared bathroom which meant the cleanliness was very dependent on other customers, which is always a risk, and there could be queues for the shower/toilet

Hotel passable uniquement pour dormir
Cons:

Pas de changement de draps ni de serviettes de bain, les poubelles ne sont pas débarrassées et ce, durant la totalité du séjour. Nous avons vu une seule fois la réceptionniste lors de notre arrivée ; difficultés pour entrer en contact avec elle en cas de besoin (obligés de mettre un mot sur le comptoir). Personne pour faire le check-out, message envoyé à l'établissement via l’appli booking pas de retour de leur part.

Nice and comfy
Pros:

The staff was nice, the room was really spacious for two people, it had everything we needed, and everything looked new.

Cons:

The location isn’t the best; you have to walk a bit to get to the main part of Edinburgh.

Cons:

Fenster wurde vermutlich in unserer Abwesenheit repariert. Wurde danach leider nicht mehr geschlossen und somit war bei unserer Rückkehr am Abend das Fenster offen und das Licht brennte - dass in einem Kellerzimmer mit Treppe im Außenbereich!

Pros:

L’emplacement 30min a pied du centre.
Hors heure de pointe, 30 minutes de l’aeroport.
Lieu calme.
Parking pour voiture, les multivans rentrent. Attention pas de réservation de parking, premier arrivé premier servi.
Plein de restaurants dans la rue.
Gardien adorable.

Cons:

Cher pour une chambre mais cela est peut etre du au festival en août.
Difficile de se garer si plus de place dans le parking.
