Bon emplacement mais manque de charme .
Pros:

L’emplacement très pratique . Non loin de la gare, le quartier est calme et central.

Cons:

Un peu impersonnel. Déco sobre sans originalité. Accueil un peu absent . Chambre trop petite : Même pas la place pour ouvrir la valise . Petit déjeuner peu varié et aucune possibilité d’avoir des œufs…

Pros:

호텔 위치가 너무 좋아서 시내 어디에 가든 너무 편리했어요 방도 넓고 쾌적하고 직원들도 너무 친절했어요 다만 엘리베이터가 없어서 짐을 올리고 내리느라 고생을 좀 했습니다 ^^

Great stay, in New Town, with shopping and restaurants; less than 15-min walk to main attractions.
Pros:

Two min walk to Westridge shopping mall, 8-min walk to Waverley train station, 15-min walk to Royal Mile. Many great restaurants and bars in the area. Right on the tram line to the airport. Great views from our back of the bldg room.

Cons:

Our upper floor room was quite warm with only a small fan to try to cool it down. No lift in the bldg so be prepared for stairs

Hello Edinburgh. You can enjoy it all from here.
Pros:

This is a lovely boutique hotel, that has a warm welcoming feel to it. Its gorgeous. Staff were lovely. There is small attention to details in the furnishings and common areas. We stayed here twice. The fees were excessive, but apparently this is the case all through Edinburgh due to the festival.

Cons:

As guests staying twice over a week, we felt the charges for minding luggage were excessive.

The rooms are small and our first room facing the main street was open and enjoyable to watch the city from the window. The second stay was in another room which felt a little claustrophobic and we didn't enjoy it as much.

Think this suits small luggage, weekend travellers. We had larger cases due to the long length of travel.

No lifts !!!

It just wasn’t long enough. Lovely hotel but we only had a few waking hours in it
Pros:

Location, bedroom, bar

Cons:

No lift but we knew that. Toiletries were very basic, no tissues, showercap etc although we probably could have asked for them and received with a smile

Für uns wäre dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall wieder eine Option.
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut. Das Personal war jederzeit sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Leider liess sich das Fenster im Zimmer nicht einfach öffnen, da deffekt. Es hat kein Lift in die Stockwerke, dis ist zu beachten, wenn jemand nicht gut zu Fuss ist.
