Hotel stupendo
Pros:

La posizione era perfetta. 5 minuti a piedi sia da Victoria Street che da Royal Mile. Bellissimo il pub che si trova sotto/dentro l'hotel

Cons:

Unica pecca negativa è che il venerdì e il sabato c'è la musica alta fino a tarda notte che si sente in camera

La posizione vince su tutto!
Pros:

Il punto forte di questo alloggio è la posizione (il nome dell'alloggio non mente!). Potrete girare il centro della hold town a piedi ed in pochissimi minuti! Nella stanza poi troverete un asciugacapelli (non quello piccolo da viaggio) e addirittura una piastra, cosa a cui ho fatto caso perché non è affatto scontato. Cambio asciugamani ogni giorno.

Cons:

Da migliorare la pulizia delle camere. Soprattutto per soggiorni lunghi, di 4/5 giorni, sarebbe gradita una pulizia intermedia dato che gli ospiti non dispongono delle attrezzature per pulire in modo autonomo.

Pros:

Es pot anar a tots els espais turístics caminant
Habitació acollidora i esmorzar acceptable

Cons:

La porta del lavabo és de vidre i no tanca del tot bé. No va ser un problema, perquè érem família, però si no fos el cas, si que ho hagués vist com a problema.
