Pros:

I really liked the fact that the staff were so friendly. Also the bed was incredibly comfortable. The hotel's situation was excellent too.

Cons:

I didn't like the poorly lit hallways, and the red doors - I don't think the colour scheme and lighting was very tasteful, sorry.

Unfortunately, my breakfast wasn't too good either. Re the cooked breakfast - the menu said that it would be freshly cooked. I ordered the veggie breakfast. The sausages were so tough that I couldn't get my knife through their skins,, also the grilled tomato was burnt and the spinach was overcooked and very soggy. The scrambled egg was amazing. However, overall I felt disappointed with it.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit großen modernen Zimmern, zentral in der Nähe des Bahnhofs
Pros:

Es war alles sehr schön, das Zimmer war groß und modern eingerichtet, das Bad war modern und sehr sauber. Die Lage war auch schön zentral, und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett. Der Preis war recht hoch für eine Nacht, aber Edinburgh (eine sehr mit Touristen überlaufene Stadt) ist generell recht teuer. Und für sein Geld hat man hier auch ein sehr schönes Zimmer bekommen.
