Pros:

Die Lage der Zimmer war gut - direkte Anbindung an den öffentlichen Nahverkehr.
Das Frühstück war in Ordnung - es gab ein kleines Buffet, einen Heißgetränkeautomaten, das schottische Frühstück wurde serviert.
Unser Zimmer war hofseitig ausgerichtet und ruhig. Das Zimmer unserer Freunde hatte ein renoviertes, modernes Bad.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war total veraltet, der Teppich schien nie gesaugt zu werden. Das Badezimmer war eine Zumutung - eine Dusche ohne Tasse mit Vorhang. Der Wasserhahn tropfte, das Licht oberhalb des Spiegels war kaputt. Einmal musste vom Zimmermädchen der Schlüsseldienst geholt werden, weil unsere Zimmertür nicht mehr aufging - die Holzspuren wurden nie aufgesaugt.
Das Zimmer unserer Freunde war straßenseitig und laut.

Hyvä majoitus pienelle Edinburgh lomalle
Pros:

Bussipysäkki vieressä. Mukava liikkua ydinkeskustaan. Aamupalalla tarjolla English breakfast

Cons:

Huone olisi voinut olla siistimpi. Suihkutilat epämiellyttävät.

Mucho por mejorar
Pros:

Buena ubicación, el staff fue amable. Necesitamos que nos guardasen la maleta y nos dejaron entrar antes en la habitación

Cons:

Se escucha muchísimo el ruido de la calle, lo cual dificulta dormir. Hacía calor y el ventilador que hay en la habitación suena mucho.
Lo peor de todo es que nos picaba la piel en la cama y despertamos con alguna picadura

Pros:

Colazione salata a base di uova, fagioli, wurstel e pomodoro arrosto e poi quella dolce con biscotti, briosche, yogurt, marmellate e formaggio.
Posizione non proprio centale, in un quartiere di tipo residenziale popolare. Comunque il centro raggiungibile in 40/45 minuti a piedi o 20 minuti in autobus.

Cons:

Il bagno, con sanitari piccoli. Doccia un vetusta e con difficoltà nella miscelazione dell'acqua calda con quella fredda.

Tolle Lage, aber leider sehr abgewohnt und alt
Pros:

Die Lage ist wirklich hervorragend. . Wir hatten aus unserem Zimmer direkten Blick auf die Stadt! Wirklich toll!
Sehr netter Gastgeber und super Personal.

Cons:

Wir hatten leider keine Badetücher. Die Dusche wurde niemals warm.
Das Bett war unfassbar unbequem und leider für mich viel zu klein und unbequem.
Leider war auch die gesamte Ausstattung und die Möbel sehr alt und abgenutzt.

Next time I'll book to stay here longer!
Pros:

Loved the full Scottish breakfast! Our twin beds room worked well for my friend and I. Very comfortable beds and quiet neighbourhood. Easy check in and out. Very good value and we would return to this place.

Cons:

Not really a criticism, but this was a little further away from the centre of it all than some guest houses. This allowed us to walk the tree covered path into some other areas and that was a lovely way to experience a nice part of the city unlike the other very touristy areas. If you enjoy a walk, this is a terrific location.

Prima verblijf op gunstige locatie
Pros:

PRima ontbijt en bediend door erg vriendelijke dame. Locatie is perfect: je auto kun je makkelijk parkeren en de bus naar het centrum stopt vrijwel voor de deur.

Cons:

Zelf inchecken met codes werkt op zich prima, maar is nooit zo leuk. Deel van de vakantiepret is toch het contact met de mensen van de accomodaties.
