Great location near train station and Edinburgh sights.
Pros:

Great location and helpful staff.

Cons:

Ceiling had a window- greta you could open it but the blind didn’t work so and early wake up call. Had to hunt for the remote and found no instructions, which would be helpful. Expensive for what it was.

Overnight stay in Auld Reekie
Pros:

The location and the breakfast were great

Cons:

The room was basic for the cost for one night's stay. Been to Motel One in Glasgow and London and their rooms were better

Pros:

Location is perfect! Just 1 min to train station.

Cons:

There was a very strong detergent smell coming from the bed linens in the room, and it might be a good idea to have this checked.

Pros:

Konum mükemmel. Hem eski şehire hem yeni şehire yakın, tam ortada. Waverley istasyonunun hemen yanı. Biz Edinburgh 'dan Londra' ya trenle gittik ve istasyona yürüdük 5 dakika.
Ayrıca Çalışanlar ilgili ve güleryüzlü idi.

Cons:

Mayıs sonunda geldiğimiz Sezon dışı ödenen maaliyet iki katı idi, onun dışında olumsuz bir durum yok.
