Pros:

The staff were all very pleasant, ceerful and helpful; the breakfast was excellent, and good value for money; the room was clean and comfortable; and the location was excellent, right in the middle of everything.

Agréable et efficace
Pros:

La propreté et aide des employés pour ajuster le chauffage
La proximité du Royal Mile
Le lavabo qui coulait a été réparé dès que je l’ai signalé

Cons:

Il manquerait un tapis de bain et avoir un petit bâton pour tirer les rideaux plus facilement.

Great easy ALL linked stay by the mile
Pros:

Located just off the mile the hotel is easily found. check-in and luggage storage was seamless and the staff were available to help with local recommendations. The on-premise bar and restaurant offered last resort options when the mile got overrun by other tourists

Cons:

The room and bedding smelt damp as if it was either not washed properly or not dried properly. Reminded me of those terrible youth hostel days.

Breve, pero intensa.
Pros:

Un poco lio la ubicacion, y la distribucion de la habitaciones, pero nada, que no se pueda arreglar , con la amabilidad del personal de recepcion.La habitacion, no la ha limpiado, durante toda la estancia, y el cuarto de baño(por llamarlo asi), esta anticuado, y con muchos desperfectos, Hay que cuidar más al cliente,Creo que en España, este hotel tendria 2 estrellas ó menos. Las dos unicas cosas destacables, el trato del personal y el Buffet.

Cons:

El laberinto, para encontra la habitacion.La limpieza y el deterioro de la capsula del cuaro de baño.

3. 房間沒電話聯絡櫃檯
4. 兩張單人床的床單都有小小的污點,像是血跡

Room rate over the top
Pros:

Good location for where we wanted to be

Cons:

Extortionate prices, £333 for 1 night excluding breakfast
Talk about taking advantage of the Edinburgh Tattoo and The Fringe, just downright greedy
