"Soggiorno giugno"

9.0

Posizione e il fatto di poter dare colazione in sede e letti comodissimi.

Ascensore rotto , credo da diverso tempo e noi al 5 piano. Penso che per un disagio simile si poteva almeno proporre uno sconto.

"Logement d'étape lors d'un passage à Edimburgh"

7.0

Emplacement centre ville ancienne, proche de la gare, des pubs et restaurants, on peut tout faire à pieds. Le personnel de réception est très aimable, les chambres propres bien que petites. Plutôt une chambre d'étape pour une nuit lors d'un passage à Edimburgh, je ne resterais pas plus. Avantage, le prix raisonnable pour cette ville, très chère. C'est pourquoi il y beaucoup de jeunes, ce qui ne correspond pas vraiment à ma situation.

L'hôtel est plutôt fait pour des jeunes adultes ou des groupes d'étudiants, il y a un bar dans la cour et c'est bruyant. La salle de petit déjeuner n'est pas très clean et le petit dej un peu restreint, mais le café est bon. Je n'ai pas aimé la douche et wc séparés du lavabo dans l'entrée, bizarre.

Lo que más me gustó fue la ubicación, está justo a la mitad de la Royal Mile así que tienes todo cerca. Pasé 4 noches y estuve yo sola en una habitación de 6 personas, menos el último día. Hicieron caso a mi petición de darme una litera inferior (les mandé un mensaje a la hora de hacer la reserva). Las instalaciones están bien en general, pero hay que tener en cuenta que es un edificio antiguo. La zona del bar está muy guay para socializar, hacen actividades todos los días. Hay disponible una cocina completa si necesitas calentar algo, se pide la llave en recepción. El check-in y checkout son muy fáciles, el personal súper amable. Muy recomendable todo en general.

No me gustó que me pusieron en el piso 5 y el ascensor no funcionaba (junio 2026), lo que significaba subir y bajar todos los días muchas escaleras. Lo compensaron dejándome sola casi toda mi estancia (normal, nadie querría subir tantos pisos a pie después de un día de tustisteo!). El habitáculo de la ducha es súper pequeño, apenas 2 metros cuadrados que no te alcanzan ni siquiera para abrir la puerta de la ducha (tienes que abrirla con la puerta general abierta); al estar yo sola no había problema, pero, si hubiese tenido que compartir más días, sé que habría sido muy incómodo.

Nepovlečené postele, neskutečný hluk z baru, personál kterému je to jedno a řekne že to je standard a že se s tím teda příště pokusí něco udělat… Prostě jim je to absolutně jedno a vy je jen otravujete…
