Ok
Pros:

Die Lage außerhalb des Zentrums aber mit guter Anbindung, Bushaltestelle direkt vor der Tür, und die Aussicht auf einen freien Parkplatz. Nicht weit entfernt gibt es ein Einkaufszentrum für den täglichen Bedarf.

Cons:

Muffiger, abgestandener Geruch in den Fluren und Treppenhäusern (Fenster sind nicht zu öffnen) und die Dusche könnte etwas mehr Wasserdruck vertragen.

Cons:

The shower wasn't working. We were given another room, which was fine. In the morning, the staff came in to check the shower, which was working. We said everything was fine, but they came in anyway, which was very awkward.

Northumberland Hotel Edinburgh
Pros:

I stayed in room 12, a small double. Very comfortable, clean and quiet.
Excellent location, on the main bus route to the city and close to Cameron Toll centre.
Free parking is a bonus.
I've stayed twice now and will definitely return as it offers great value for money.

Cons:

Nothing, I was more than happy

Het was prima maar niet top. Locatie was wel super!
Pros:

De locatie was echt top! Busstop voor de deur en binnen 15 minuten was je in het centrum.

Cons:

Gedateerd! Kan wel een vernieuwing gebruiken. Bedden waren ook aan de harde kant. Raar slot op de voordeur (ging niet goed open). Doucherand was erg vies.

Pros:

Location, Cameron toll is good Location for quick taxi into town, nightlife etc

Cons:

Room was like some sort of homeless hostel, dirty carpet, afterthought of en suite, tiny, decor all scuffed and tatty, noisey stairs and hearing others in thiers rooms, we have complained to the owners with no response, and booking. Complained no better offering 10 pounds back....

Un buon compromesso
Pros:

Buona posizione per raggiungere il centro di Edimburgo, ampio parcheggio privato, stanza spaziosa con letti comodi.

Cons:

Wifi impossibile da utilizzare (connessione instabile o assente), porte tagliafuoco pesanti che rendono difficile uscire con delle valigie, lampade da comodino non funzionanti.

Muy mal insonorizadas las habitaciones y ducha pésima
Pros:

La ubicación y el entorno

Cons:

Las habitaciones no están insonorizadas y se oyen todos los ruidos (otras habitaciones y pasillos). El sistema de la ducha es pésimo, si le das al agua fría sale caliente y hace mucho ruido
