A comfortable hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Great location and a good breakfast.

Cons:

My room, no window, just a skylight and the room ceiling divided into two parts. The room was also hot at night so I slept badly.

Hotel muy muy céntrico
Pros:

El hotel no puede tener mejor ubicación, en pleno centro a nada andando de la famosa Royal Mile. Además, cabe destacar que el autobús que te lleva del aeropuerto al centro te deja en la misma puerta del hotel, por lo que es súper cómodo.
A pesar de su ubicación tan céntrica, no escuchamos nada de ruido.

Cons:

Nos tocó una habitación sin ventana, con una bóveda en el techo muy alta que dejaba traspasar un poco la luz. Pero nada como una buena ventana... Una pena.
Algunas paredes tenían manchas de suciedad y lo que más nos molestó fue la puerta del baño, que no cerraba muy bien y tampoco se quedaba abierta, por lo que daba unos portazos bastante desagradables.

Hôtel acceptable
Pros:

L'emplacement, le confort de la literie, le petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Manque d'indications pour accéder à la chambre (on nous a donné le numéro d'une chambre qui n'existait pas) l'hôtel est un vrai labyrinthe.
La communication avec la réception est parfois compliquée, le personnel est assez speed et ne se prend pas trop le temps d'expliquer, au prix de la chambre c'est un peu décevant.
Il manque des petits équipements comme des couvertures supplémentaires, de vrais placards pour ranger ses affaires.

Pros:

Location. Cleaning. Nice staff

Cons:

The smell in the room. It was like a sensor was spraying something out in the room. Even when I was away all day and the window was open, it smelt weird when I came back
