Pros:

Em geral, é agradável. Os funcionários bastante atenciosos, simpáticos e muito disponíveis para ajudar.
A localização é bastante boa, dado que tem muitos transportes públicos mesmo à porta.
Cama muito confortável e o quarto dispõe de todas as facilidades de que se necessita.

Cons:

O hotel necessita de algumas renovações, e o quarto não era tão grande quanto parecia na foto. Pequeno almoço necessita de melhorar face ao preço que se paga por pessoa.

Pros:

Friendly helpful staff at check in. Good size room. Crystals hanging from bed posts. Interior room colour selection tasteful. Bus stop out front. Parking on site. Shops walking distance.

Cons:

No dinner available but didn't find out until after I booked. Tiny ensuite. Noisy fan in ensuite. Sensor light and fan in ensuite on timer and cannot be turned off if you need to use toilet at night and doesn't turn off for 10 minutes. Curtains didn't quite cover the entire front window and there was a floodlight shining through. Road noise and was particularly bad on Friday night. Mattress was bowed and felt like sleeping in a banana. Pillows were thin and provided little support.

Pros:

Hicbirseyini

Cons:

Oda pisti öncelikle, heryer tozdu temizlemelerini söyledik temizlediler ama biraz daha ayrintili baktigimizda sehpanin arkasinda, masanin arkasinda kullanılmış çikolata ve bisküvi paketleri vardi gündüz 18 derece olan sehirde akşam hava çok soğuk oluyordu ve kaloriferi acmalarini soyledik ilk gun actilar 2. Ve 3. Gün kapaliydi, banyoda ise şofben vardi ve düzgün çalışmıyordu sıcak su bir anda soğuğa dönüyordu ve ayrica klozetin şifonu doğru düzgün çalışmıyordu ve bunlarin hepsi bir yana parayi daha gelmeden talep ediyorlardı, demekki biliyorlar ne olduklarını edinburgh a da ilk gelişim değil başka otellerde de kaldım ama bu kadar kötüsünü görmedim,akşam olunca personel de kalmiyordu herhangi bir problemimde kimseye ulaşamiyordum
