We did not have a pleasant experience.
Pros:

The shower was amazing, big thumbs up. 👍👍
The location was brilliant.
The room was nice.
The air condition was lovely as it kept the room cool, however keeping it on all night was not an option.

Cons:

I had a view of a building side from the window.
The window didn't open so the room felt quite stuffy and warm, not ideal for two guests who are asthmatic.
The pillows were very lumpy and not comfortable to sleep with.
The TV channels kept freezing up and you couldn't see a picture that matched the audio that was being said.
The selection of teas available were really poor, due to this I had to buy a box of teabags from the shop.

Pros:

L'emplacement

Cons:

Le prix surfait pour une chambre Ibis standard. Je comprends qu'en haute-saison, le prix puisse être plus élevé, mais quand il passe du simple au double, cela est un peu exagéré.

Pros:

Wir waren 4 Nächte in diesem Hotel und es hat uns super gefallen. Die Lage ist hervorragend. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Ich würde das Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen

Cons:

Das Hotel war recht teuer. Aber die anderen Hotels in der Altstadt von Edinburgh sind ebenfalls teuer. Man konnte die Fenster leider nicht öffnen.
