Good value and good location
Pros:

Easy location off Princes Street. About a 15 min walk to the Royal Mile and close to public transport. Amazing shower with great water pressure. Pour over coffee in the room was a nice surprise!

Cons:

TV went out in the room, reported it to the front desk but never got fixed. We were so tired at night it didn't really matter. Breakfast service was pretty slow.

Great location but room for improvement
Pros:

The location was excellent. Easy access to all the highlights of the City. Staff were very helpful and friendly

Cons:

Rooms were quite small. Checking in was a drama as the lobby was often used as a function room so access was poor and very noisy. Breakfast was over priced and porridge was inedible !!

Nice boutique hotel
Pros:

Clean nice boutique hotel
Location is excellent
There is coffee / tea bar , free water bottle in room
They provide bathrobe and slippers - which is a plus in any hotel room

Cons:

No AC - they did provide a fan though when I asked
The room is extremely small
If you are very tall or overweight or have large luggage, this might feel claustrophobic

Good location, great bar
Pros:

Good location. Great meals at the bar, some staff were a bit disinterested or not sure what was going on.

Cons:

Check in was a bit weird and when we left our baggage after check out to go and explore, we did not have much confidence that they were being looked after securely however there were no issues.

Lovely charming hotel
Pros:

I love the quirky Angel Share and have stayed many times (for work)...

This time my wife joined me and she loved it too...!

The staff are all friendly and welcoming...

The whiskey bar is excellent with live music some nights (mostly very good!)

Breakfasts are amazing...

Beds are very comfy and clean...

Great location for exploring..

Feels very cozy...

Cons:

Small things these days it should be standard to have one socket in each room with a USB charger port for phones... (they did lend an adapter)

The more expensive rooms have baths not showers so just be sure which you want...

Nur für Leute mit Mini-Rucksack als Gepäck
Pros:

Die Bar ist außergewöhnlich eingerichtet. Hotel liegt relativ nahe der zu erreichenden Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Gute Öffi-Anbindung.

Cons:

Extrem laute Umgebung. Barausgang direkt unter unserem Zimmer (309).
Kein Platz für unseren Koffer, geschweige denn im Kasten, wo stattdessen ein riesiges Bügelbrett untergebracht war. Wir mussten das Nachtkästchen ins Badezimmer stellen, um Platz für unseren Koffer zu schaffen.
Sieht am Bild normal groß aus, ist aber ein Zimmer für Menschen, die nur einen Mini-Rucksack mitbringen.
Würden wir nicht mehr buchen.
