Pros:

Service was top en personeel heel aardig! Uitzicht op Arthur's seat was ook mooi. Vrij oud hotel maar wel volledig ingericht.

Cons:

Bedden veel te smal, niet te doen. Ook oncomfortabel en het was erg gehorig. Slapen ging dus niet super, blij dat het 2 nachten was.
Warm ontbijt van de menukaart was prima, maar het koude buffet was matig. Voorverpakte croissantjes en cornflakes, ik had er iets meer van verwacht..

DA PROVARE ALMENO UNA VOLTA
Pros:

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, appena fuori dal centro, comodissimo con gli autobus che ti portano in 10 minuti al centro di Edimburgo. Bellissima Villa in stile scozzese, ottima colazione, personale gentile e simpaticissimo, un saluto particolare dall'Italia a Kelly e al signore delle colazioni.

functioneel en goed met erg vriendelijk en behulpzame mensen (personeel)
Pros:

beetje oubollig hotel, met erg vriendelijk personeel en goed ontbijt wat veel goedmaakt

Cons:

twee hoge trappen op en ik vond het een eng idee dat er géén nooduitgang is en je daar boven als ratten in de val zou zitten bij een brand van onder af..

Great place with genuine helpful people making this a really positive experience.
Pros:

The staff are so lovely. Really helpful people making it feel like home. The breakfast is superb and it’s in a quiet street, close to a bus stop. Very cute room with a great bed and really clean.

Cons:

It is an older property, so ask for a ground floor room if you have mobility issues as there isn’t a lift or air con.
