Pros:

Die Lage vom Hotel ist super und der Ausblick auf Edinburgh Castle aus den großen Zimmerfenstern ist fantastisch, diesen Bereich haben unsere Kinder auch gerne als Spielecke genutzt. Sehr gute Auswahl beim Frühstück mit der zusätzlichen Bestelloption an warmen Speisen wie u.a. Eggs Benedict, Ei mit schottischem Lachs.

Überteuert in sehr guter Lage, nicht nochmal
Pros:

Lage ist TOP

Cons:

Rezeption mehrfach nicht über Telefon erreichbar, Wenn man dann an die Rezeption geht stehen 3 Mitarbeiter unbeschäftigt rum und erzählen von dem Stress..
Sanitäre Anlagen im Restaurantbereich unakzeptabel, noch nicht mal Bahnhofsniveau.
Preis Leistung undiskutabel, war der letzte (dritte) Besuch!
