Os quartos são péssimos. Pequenos, antigos demais e o hotel não parece investir em melhorias. Apesar da ótima localização, não recomendo.

Magica Edimburgo
Pros:

Posizione, colazione e soprattutto cordialità ed efficienza dello staff. Abbiamo avuto un problema con la prenotazione di Booking e la reception ha risolto dedicando parecchio tempo per parlare con l’assistenza clienti di Booking e risolvere. Personale decisamente valido ed efficiente.

Cons:

Nulla

Disappointed! You pay for the view and no luxury.
Pros:

The Views

Cons:

Nothing special! No Mini Bar nor; Netflix or Prime Video options on TV after a long day in Edinburgh you need an option just to relax and enjoy the telly of your choice!? Disappointment!

Very disappointed with outlook. Will be unlikely to book through Booking.com again as every hotel I stayed in apart from
Pros:

A standard hotel in a very busy main street of Edinburgh.

Cons:

My room was dark & window looked straight into a high rise building site of scaffolding & enormous sheets of black plastic.
