Es war sehr angenehm und alle extrem freundlich. Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert. Und wie gesagt das Pub nebenan war auch
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr mordern eingerichtet und sauber. Das Pub gleich daneben hat natürlich auch gut gepasst :D

Cons:

Es gibt leider keine Steckdose im geräumigen Bad. Haare föhnen musste man im Schlafbereich. Auch gab es leider keine Ablage im Bad. Man konnte alles auf den Boden legen oder hinter die Toilette.

Pros:

Lived the room and bathroom - The Watson Suite.Great location for enjoying Morningside whilst still walking distance to city centre.

Minor improvement required- entrance needed brushed/ cleaned and all carpets needed cleaned or use of a better hoover
