Ich würde davon abraten!
Pros:

Überhaupt nichts außer die Lage. Alles, ziemlich heruntergekommenes Hotel. Wir hatten ein kleines Zimmer mit zwei Kindern, da Bad hat schlecht gerochen. Es wurde zwar direkt behoben, dennoch: Müll vor dem Fenster, alles Möbel, Putz fällt von der Decke.
All das wurde mit „viktorianischem Charme“ begründet. Es sind auch 5 Häuser, die entlang der Straße liegen. Zum Frühstück muss man durch den oft schottischen Regen.

Cons:

Dreckig, alt, überteuert.

Ok
Pros:

Located close to the tram stop which suited my needs

Cons:

It is advertised as a hotel but rooms are located in a number of adjacent buildings - with reception and bar being in the main building; to me this isn’t a hotel… room was pleasant and staff friendly but the price far exceeded the facility
