Pros:

Comfortable stay. Big room with 5 of us. Location wasn’t bad. Maybe 20 min drive from Edinburgh. Room was clean

Cons:

We were pretty upset the first night because we were woken up at 12:30 at night with someone banging on our door multiple times. When we got up it was the manager trying to figure out where some noise was coming from. There was nothing it could have been from our room besides the bathroom fan which still didn’t even make sense. The fact that they wanted to solve this problem and wake up the neighboring rooms of the person complaining was insane.

まあまあだった。
Pros:

スタッフは親切。ファミリールームは広い。中心街のホテルほど高くない。近くにカフェやスーパーがある。バスも結構通る。空港が近い。

Cons:

部屋が古い。ベッドシーツ等が洗ってあるかもだが古い。部屋とシーツの湿気感が快適とはいえない。ファミリールームの横が玄関で玄関のドアの開け閉めがうるさい。

Mauvais rapport qualité / prix
Cons:

« Vieillot », pas d’ascenseur, bruyant : portes qui claquent, plancher et escalier qui craquent, ventilation bricolée et bruyante . Maison de ville inadaptée à l’hôtellerie !
Malgré un personnel de bonne volonté.

Easy access to the city, nice building
Pros:

Friendly staff. Free parking in the roads around the hotel was easily possible. Old house with nice garden (closed at our stay though). Bus station close by to take you to Princes Street/Edinburgh Castle. Several restaurant options and a large supermarket in walking distance.

Cons:

Two floor house with winding corridors. As British houses go, no elevators, steep, carpeted, winding staircase instead to our room. Our bed was a bit creaky. Shower had little water pressure. Continental breakfast options a bit limited

Perfect for our short stay requirements
Pros:

The staff were most helpful and friendly. There was no lift so they helped carry a heavy suitcase up the stairs. We could have extra tea bags for our room. The beds were comfortable and we could leave our luggage there after we had checked out whilst going into the city centre until we needed it to catch our plane. The hotel was well situated for the David Lloyd centre and for buses into town and out to the airport.

Bardzo korzystna lokalizacja, wygodne łóżka.
Pros:

Super lokalizacja, przystanek autobusowy z mnóstwem linii (z Airlinkiem włącznie) mniej niż minutę drogi od hotelu. Blisko do Lidla i Tesco, jest też kilka restauracji w pobliżu.

Good staff, terrible beds and bad manager.
Pros:

The staff were incredible and wanted to us to have the best stay and were eager to help every time we needed it.

Cons:

The manager decided to give us 5 small bottles of sparkling water (they were out of still too) as compensation for our twin bed falling apart. One of the guys slept terrible because his bed was broken and did not have a decent place to sleep.

Pros:

L'emplacement est pratique. Proche de l'aéroport ou du centre ville en bus.
L'hotel est vieillot et mériterait un rafraichissement
Le petit dej manque de produits locaux
L'entrée annexe, mériterait un grand nettoyage - ou au moins un ramassage des canettes, paquets de cigarettes, ...
