Not great
Pros:

Nothing in particular to be honest. The size of the room was okay.

Cons:

The double bed advertised was just 2 single beds pushed together. Not comfortable at all. The shower was broken where you adjusted the heat, and it was very difficult to get cold water running. The tap in the sink was awful. As soon as you turn it on, the water comes out and splashes all over the floor. We had to be very careful turning it on, but most of the time, it just came out full force. Air conditioning was said to be included. Turns out it was just a plug-in fan... that didn't even have a swivel function. This was very disappointing as the days we stayed were the hottest days of the year so far. The room was clean but not to a very high standard. There was some hair on the wall in the shower, even tho it had looked like it had just been cleaned when we arrived. There were also cobwebs on the ceiling above the bed that were very noticeable when turning on the lights.

Great location near public transport
Pros:

The property is situated in an excellent location, with convenient access to tram and bus stations nearby.

Cons:

The staircase leading to our room was lengthy, making it challenging to carry the heavy suitcase down. Additionally, the room was somewhat compact and felt slightly stuffy.

Heureusement Édimbourg est une belle ville avec des habitants charmants. Pas le cas de on the Walk.
Pros:

Le seul point positif est l’emplacement près du tram sinon chambre en sous sol donnant sur une décharge, clés ne fonctionnant pas toujours aux 3 passages avant d’arriver dans le sous sol . En outre on profite de tous les bruits des voisins…. Enfin les salles de bain partagées sont toujours inondées . Bref , je ne conseille pas pour un séjour de quelques jours , juste en dépannage d’une nuit.

Cons:

Le manque de réactivité quand je me suis retrouvée plusieurs fois coincée, le bruit de autres . Trop impersonnel comme environnement

Accomodatie buiten centrum met goed bereik van openbaar vervoer
Pros:

De plek in de stad was prima, ook al ligt het buiten het centrum. De toegang tot de tramhalte was heel kort.
Ook was onze kamer rustig gelegen! Uiteindelijk is de prijs/kwaliteitverhouding waarschijnlijk goed, gezien de hoge accommodatieprijzen jn Edinburgh

Cons:

Het bed was niet erg comfortabel en het was niet echt schoon. Ook de bank was viezig

Pros:

Die Lage ist zentral und man kann vieles zu Fuß erreichen.
Bus und Straßenbahn sind ebenfalls schnell zu erreichen. Der Eingang des Hotels ist ungewöhnlich, das Zimmer war sauber und ruhig.

Pros:

Хорошее месторасположение, удобная кровать

Cons:

Душевая и туалет один на два номера, по описанию это не очень ясно, поэтому были неприятно удивлены. Два дня проектировались, конечно но если бы остатся пришлось на дольше , то за эти деньги хочетс иметь больше комфорта:( Ооочень странный дизайн номера ну прям предельно странный....
