Pros:

Sehr schöne, moderne Zimmer. Absolut bequeme Betten. Sehr freundliches Personal.
Wir sind hauptsächlich mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln gereist. Die Lage nahe beim Bahnhof war super. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten waren zu Fuss sehr gut erreichbar.

Cons:

Wir waren rundum begeistert - wir haben nichts zu meckern!

Pros:

La posizione strategica per accedere a tutti i punti principali della città.
La stanza è confortevole e insonorizzata.
La colazione era abbondante e di alta qualità.
Lo staff disponibile e gentile.
La pulizia della stanza impeccabile.

Cons:

Niente da segnalare se non un problema con il condizionatore che perdeva acqua bagnando la moquette, ma non ha influenzato il comfort della stanza e il nostro soggiorno.

Pros:

Location was great. Staff very pleasant. Great cappucino!

Cons:

Furniture in room could be improved - bigger end tables would be better to atleast accommodate electronics. Also need more plug points. I had to unplug the lamp to be able to plug in my charger. Room was also kind of dark and sink was dirty.

Friendly staff and an unbeatable location from which to explore the city
Pros:

The location was amazing! You could see many attractions from the dining room area. Walking distance to all Old Town attractions. Plus Waverley train station and other transit right across the street. Easy and safe access to front lobby off Princes Street. The washroom was spotless and the bedding extremely comfortable. Definitely have the breakfast. It was fresh, wholesome food and the dining room/lounge beautifully decorated.

Cons:

I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.

We needed a good location. We got that.
Pros:

The location was excellent. The staff were very helpful, friendly and kind.

Cons:

The room was very small and the bed was very stiff and firm. It felt like a dorm room. We paid a lot of money for a very simple, basic room.

Hotel entrance and corridors were a bit dark and dreary apart for the breakfast room.
Pros:

It was cheaper than our usual hotel during the Festival Time.

Cons:

The entrance was dreary and a bit grubby looking as you had to get the lift to reception and didn’t seem very secure entrance as anyone could be hanging around in the lane and follow you in! The chairs in the room had silly thin legs that stuck out and I caught and injured my toe as I walked around in bare feet. Stupid design for a small hotel room!
