One of the best places to stay in Edinburgh
Pros:

Wow, what an amazing place! Heart of Edinburgh, very spacious and comfortable! Next time in Edinburgh we’re definitely staying here again! Very thankful for comfortable mattresses and pillows! Amazing people at the reception!

Cons:

Noticed some chocolate packaging on the floor, but it’s a tiny little issue. Other than that - nothing that could bother!

Perfect room to start our trip. Felt clean and high end.
Pros:

The room felt luxurious--the furnishings, the etched glasses with daily complimentary water, the view of the castle, the robes, display of liquor bottles, proximity to the Huxley restaurant which we LOVED. Nice front desk, complimentary chocolates in the lobby. Johnie Walker Experience is right across the street--very fun, multimedia tour. I recommend.

Fantastische Unterkunft, die den Urlaub perfekt macht! ❤️
Pros:

Wir und unsere Freunde haben ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen und waren genauso begeistert wie wir! 🥰
Die Unterkunft ist einfach fantastisch: ein wunderschönes Wohnzimmer mit offener Küche und Kamin, riesige Schlafzimmer und tolle, geräumige Badezimmer. Man fühlt sich sofort wie zu Hause – nur noch schöner!

Auch die Lage ist perfekt. In etwa 15 Minuten zu Fuß ist man in der Victoria Street und eigentlich ist alles wunderbar erreichbar – sowohl New Town als auch die Old Town. Gleich um die Ecke befindet sich das „Huxley“, wo man hervorragend frühstücken kann.

Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit und hat unseren Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht.

Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und gemütlich.

Diese Unterkunft ist definitiv zu unserem neuen Favoriten in Edinburgh geworden. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Tausend Dank für den wunderschönen Aufenthalt – von sehr zufriedenen Gästen! ❤️

Cons:

- alles perfekt

挺有特色的一家酒店，而且楼下餐厅吃早餐可以八折，但确实有点贵。也可能我们是旺季去的，赶上了。
Pros:

地理位置挺好的，室内设计和颜色搭配很漂亮，就是价格有点贵。

Cons:

浴室洗手盆水龙头安装有问题，洗手，洗东西，水都流外面了，拖鞋遇水就有点滑容易摔。浴室里只安装了两项电插头，吹风机是三项的，不能使用。

good for week in edinburgh. convenient location. would stay again.
Pros:

spacious apartment for long stay [ we only stayed one night]. cemetery near apt had some dodgy "tweakers" hanging out not too far away but otherwise area seems nice and convenient. lovely patio. loved makeup mirror and quiet street near Jimmy Walker Experience [ we didnt go to it but might if had longer stay]. 1 mi from train station but wasnt a tough walk w luggage [spinner] as there was no rain that day.

Cons:

stairs lead down to basement floor apartment so not for folks with mobility issues. bed could be softer. patio was lovely and a plus but we dint leave door open for fear of rats coming in from lush backyard. what were they thinking w orange backsplash? but kitchen nice and clean and spacious and ample seating and TV . hated difficulty of flushing toilets w cheap plastic hardware. but would stay again.
