Fantastisk morgenmad, personale, location og senge.
Pros:

Meget venlig ejer og personale. Meget behagelige senge og fremragende morgenmad. Kun en overkommelig gåtur fra “det hele”.

Cons:

Det var en varm sommerdag så det var meget varmt på værelset om natten, også med åbne vinduer. En fane havde hjulpet.

An ideal place for exploring Edinburgh
Pros:

Spacious room, comfortable (though a bit soft) bed. Helpful staff.
The Royal Mile is three stops away by bus. Parking in the small courtyard in front of the house – free of charge.

Cons:

The spotlessly clean bathroom is separated from the room by a drywall partition, making the exhaust fan quite audible. Breakfast doesn't include any hot dishes, which is surprising for a 4-star hotel.

Pros:

We wilden onze bagage laten vervoeren naar Glasgow. De eigenaresse heeft dat perfect voor ons geregeld. Voor een zeer schappelijke prijs. Toen we in Glasgow aankwamen stonden de koffers al op de kamer. Perfect.

Pros:

Personale gentilissimo, solare e super accogliente.
La struttura si trova a 5 minuti in macchina dalla stazione e in generale con pochi euro di uber si arriva bene dappertutto.
Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo, le camere sono state completamente ristrutturate da poco e si vede, non cambierei niente!
