Hotel was fine but very loud pub/club adjacent to our room
Pros:

Clean, comfortable budget hotel

Cons:

Lack of sleep. Our room was right at the end of the building and backed on to a club/pub. Very loud music til about 2.30am. Only stayed over in Edinburgh to save getting up very early for an early train. Could saved ourselves the money.

Tolles Hotel in der Altstadt von Edinburgh. Würde ich auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.
Pros:

Sehr zentral, top für einen Städtetrip.
Sehr ruhig, trotz der zentralen Lage.
Das Zimmer war sauber, die Mitarbeiter sehr nett.

Cons:

Die Matratze war zu weich, für wenige Nächte war dies aber kein Problem.
Leider gabs keinen Kühlschrank im Zimmer.

Ottimo soggiorno!
Pros:

Il punto di forza della struttura è sicuramente la sua posizione: centralissima per visitare la città a piedi. Il personale è molto disponibile e pronto a soddisfare qualsiasi necessità. Le camere sono pulite e ben riscaldate, non enormi, ma con tutto l’essenziale per un buon soggiorno. Presenza di bollitore in camera e refill di tisane/ tè qualora vengano finite.

Cons:

Uniche pecche: il bagnoschiuma terminato nella doccia non è stato ricaricato e c’erano solo due asciugamani grandi per la doccia (senza la coppia per mani/viso)

Excellent stay and convenient location.
Pros:

Staff were excellent, we spoke to several members, including restaurant staff, and they all gave excellent customer service... some of the best seen. The property was accommodating about luggage storage on both check in and check out. Location was just far enough away from the main centre, but was in walking distance of all attractions. very convenient for the train station. Room was a good size and had all amenities needed, it was very clean and spacious. Bathroom was spotless, beds very comfortable.

Cons:

We had to go and collect luggage at 9pm, and the road running up to the hotel was a little unnerving, but this is not the hotel's fault.
