Pros:

Bra storlek på rummet, fin toalett. Mycket hjälpsam personal. God frukost.

Cons:

Läget utan bil var problematiskt, men har man tillgång till bil är läget väldigt bra. Ligger nära en väg men det hörs endast lite.

Ok für eine Nacht
Pros:

Sehr schönes altes Gebäude.
Ausreichend Parkplätze direkt auf dem Gelände.
Das Zimmer war schön eingerichtet.
Leckeres Frühstück.

Cons:

Die Sauberkeit könnte besser sein, z.B. die Tür zum Bad und die Ecken hätten eine Reinigung nötig, ebenso der Boden im Restaurant und insbesondere der Teppich auf der Treppe.

Pros:

Habitación y baño muy amplios . Buena comunicación por carretera. Parking en el hotel

Cons:

Un poco lejos de Edimburgo , 30 minutos que se hacen eternos ya que es complicado si no estás habituado a conducir por la izquierda. El café del desayuno, aguachirri.
