"Lo justo para estar en el centro histórico. Regular."

7.0

Me gustó la ubicación. La amabilidad del personal. Las literas eran bastante cómodas. Toallas y sábanas limpias y agradables.

El ruido por tener el bar justo debajo en un patio interior . El ascensor estaba averiado en un hostel de 5 plantas. Había mucho moho y suciedad bajo los grifos del lavabo. Mucho calor en las habitaciones y pasillos, no hay aire acondicionado. Relación calidad precio regular. Un poco caro para todos estos inconvenientes.

Check in was good. Facilities were good. One of the people in my room took a phone call at 3am and was chatting and laughing for 10 minutes but that is not the fault of the accommodation.

Ubicación

La ventana de mi habitación daba al bar, la gente se sentaba pegada a la ventana no se puede descansar, gritos y fiesta hasta altas hs. Imposible descansar. No había ni un gancho para colgar ni lugar para guardar.

Die Lage im Zentrum von Edinburgh ist top. Man ist innerhalb weniger Gehminuten mitten auf der High Street. Das Zweibettzimmer war zwar etwas eng (auch da das Bett etwas ungünstig platziert war und man quasi keinen Durchgang im Zimmer hatte) aber grundsätzlich in Ordnung. Pluspunkt waren die EU/Typ C - Steckdosen am Bett. Das Personal war freundlich und der Check-In klappte ohne Probleme.

Leider war der Aufzug kaputt und man musste das Gepäck über das enge Treppenhaus transportieren. Außerdem war der Aufbewahrungsraum für das Gepäck wahnsinnig klein und überfüllt für die Größe der Unterkunft.
