Sucked
Pros:

When we booked, I booked 1 night, then tried to correct the booking for an extended stay. I ended up booking for another night a day later hoping we could stay all 3 days. The front desk said we were only booked for 1 night and no other nights were reserved. They said we would have to move hotels for the next 2 nights. We booked another hotel and left the next day. I then received an email stating we had the room for the .3d night. I told them they informed us at the desk we did not have any more reservations, they said we were being charged regardless. I went back and forth with no resolve. I don’t understand how if they said there was no reservations for the 3d night and then after we went to another hotel, a reservation miraculously showed up. They would not work with me. Very rude.

Cons:

No lift, rooms upstairs.

Ubicación ideal en hotel con encanto
Pros:

Si duda, la ubicación. Puedes ir andando a casi cualquier punto de Edimburgo en menos de 20 minutos.
El hotel es muy coqueto. Antiguo, pero limpio y cuidado.

Cons:

El precio es exagerado para un 3 estrellas, pero es que Edimburgo es muy caro, en general

Miła atmosfera w hotelu, a pobyt w Edynburgu bardzo udany.
Pros:

Położenie hotelu - blisko do wszystkich atrakcji. Obsługa hotelu - za prośbę dostarczono drugą kołdrę.

Cons:

Brak odpowiedniego wieszaka na ręczniki w łazience i brak miejsca na odłożenie swoich rzeczy. Wywietrznik, który się nie wyłączał i huczał w nocy. Brak telefonu w pokoju, co uniemożliwiało kontakt z recepcją. Trzeba było pisać przez booking. Na szczęście ten pokój zarezerwowany był tylko na dwie noce. Wyjątkowo drogie śniadanie. Dania były smaczne, ale cena nieadekwatna. Śniadanie kontynentalne bardzo ubogie.

Virkelig lækkert værelse, dejlig stort. Gode senge og god beliggenhed.

Cons:

Dyrt at parkere i det nærliggende P-hus, og så var der ikke morgenmad inkluderet.

Pros:

L'amabilité du monsieur de la réception, qui m'a accueillie lors de mon arrivée.
La proximité du centre, et de la gare.
La douche italienne.

Cons:

La dame de la réception le jour de mon départ était fort désagréable.
Les prestations proposées ne sont pas du tout à la hauteur du prix.
Ma chambre était vieillissante et très petite.
Très mauvaise insonorisation, j'entendais tout ce qui se passait sur le palier, ainsi que dans la rue.

Pros:

Close to the train station and the room was ok too. The staff are friendly

Cons:

To reach the hotel,the walk is perilous and to reach the room inside the hotel was another disaster. Its a very old bldg so the lift dint go to our room and we had big bags so the staff helped us but still it was a bit tough.

Um pouco caro, mas agradável.
Pros:

Boa localização perto de Carlton Hill e staff muito atencioso.

Cons:

Um dia, chegamos à noite e não havia ninguém na recepção. Tivemos que esperar alguns minutos até alguém aparecer e abrir a porta do hotel.
