Fantastisch gelegenes Hotel im Zentrum von Edinburgh
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist fantastisch. Man kommt zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß hin und der Bus vom und zum Flughafen steht vor der Tür. Das Gebäude ist wunderschön und in einem alten, schottischen Style gehalten.

Cons:

Egal auf welcher Seite des Hotels das Zimmer ist, es ist sehr laut.

Bella posizione, camere insomma
Pros:

La posizione è ottima

Cons:

Le camere non corrispondono a quanto mostrato nelle foto. La prima sera abbiamo avuto una camera molto piccola e senza finestra, con un lucernario alto a circa 4mt, che non si poteva aprire perché altrimenti pioveva in camera.
Abbiamo chiesto di cambiare e la seconda camera è stata migliore, almeno aveva la finestra!
