Świetna lokalizacja, dosłownie 3min od Royal Mile i głównych atrakcji. Pokój i łazienka dość przestronne, wyposażenie standardowe jak na hotel. Plus za dostępny czajnik, kubki, herbatę i kawę. Miła i pomocna obsługa. Wifi działało dobrze. Bez problemu mogłam też przechować bagaż po wymeldowaniu.

Czystość pozostawiała trochę do życzenia, po moich dwóch prośbach obsługa odkurzyła dodatkowo mój pokój, ale wciąż nie był to poziom czystości, którego bym oczekiwała od hotelu w centrum miasta. Pokój był cichy - do czasu imprezy w barze obok, więc w sezonie może nie być zbyt komfortowo. Duży plus, że w recepcji można otrzymać zatyczki do uszu :)

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Very good location.

We stayed for two nights, and both nights, we suffered horrendous noise coming four feet opposite the hall from another room. Loud music, shouting, whistling screaming. When we investigated, it was a dj playing music until 3am both nights. It was the worst experience I've ever had. Also the bed is under a window which was very draughty.
