Schottisch herzlich und cosy
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr komfortabel und wir hatten einen großartigen Blick auf Arthurs Seat. Kevin war ein unglaublich netter, lustiger und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber und hat uns auch die Koffer in den 2. Stock geschleppt. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig und wir haben wunderbar geschlafen. Das Frühstück war sehr umfangreich, neben einem Buffett bekamen wir auch frisch zubereitete warme Speisen serviert.

Orasul frumos, hotelul- nu as recomanda.
Pros:

Personal amabil.

Cons:

Mic dejun f limitat, raportat la suma platita. Practic nu prea aveai ce sa alegi inafara de oua. Nu legume, nu branza, nu te puteai servi cu nimic, inafara de cafea, cateva banane/ mandarine si cateva madeline. A fost sub orice cririca din acest punct de vedere.

Wonderful Hotel
Pros:

This is a sparkling clean hotel in a quiet neighborhood. The host and hostess are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is cooked to order and delicious!

The hotel is just a few steps off of many bus lines so using public transportation is easy.

I highly recommend this hotel!

Warme sfeer in een charmante hotel
Pros:

Ligging in een rustige buurt maar op loopafstand van de universiteit, ouderwetse charme met warme sfeer & vriendelijke gastheer.

Cons:

Kamer is niet echt geluidsdicht, maar we hebben toch heel goed geslapen.
