All in all, if they upgraded the bedding, this would be a great place to stay in Edinburgh.
Pros:

Great location. Friendly Staff.

Cons:

Worst bed ever. We felt like we had been given a beating after sleeps that were fitful at best. If you like an extra-firm mattress, or camping out on a slab of rock with no mattress pad, this is the place for you!

Forse no
Pros:

Posizione ottima e struttura accogliente.
Bar aperto h24.
Personale cordiale e competente.

Cons:

Purtroppo la stanza che ci hanno assegnato, la 102 al piano terra credo sia una delle peggiori. ha il pavimento consumato, gli infissi e le porte rotte e affaccia su un cortile interno sporco.
Quindi rapporto qualità prezzo assolutamente non valido

Pros:

Konum

Cons:

2 odamızın yan yana olmasını talep etmiştik, odalar birbirine çok uzaktı. Odalar küçük, geceleri gürültülüydü, ısıtması problemliydi
