Have returned many times. Neighbourhood is perfect, just a short walk away from the shops and close to the beautiful Arthur’s Seat. Can’t fault this hotel. Staff are wonderful.

"Piacevole e tranquillo"

9.0

Per quanto riguarda la colazione era di buon livello e di discreto assortimento considerando che si potevano ordinare anche delle pietanze espresse quale, per esempio, la colazione scozzese. La posizione dell'albergo è veramente ottimale visto che è immerso nel Parco di Holyrood per chi ama la tranquillità. Questo però penalizza un po' la vicinanza con il centro storico di Edimburgo che dista circa 1,5 kilometri (poco più di venti minuti a piedi). Con il taxi (chiamato direttamente dalla reception) ci vogliono pochi minuti ad un costo di 10/12 sterline. In alternativa si può utilizzare il servizio di Uber. La gentilezza e disponibilità del personale dell' hotel mi hanno veramente colpito. Buono anche il ristorante con varietà di piatti ed un discreto rapporto prezzo/qualità.

Per quanto concerne la colazione, come area di miglioramento, consiglierei alla struttura di mettere nel buffet del pane e dei biscotti artigianali. Inoltre, nei periodi di maggior affollamento turistico sarebbe necessaria un'altra macchina per le bevande calde. Le tendine e gli scuri delle finestre purtroppo non schermano completamente la luce e visto che in Scozia il sole tramonta molto tardi e l'alba arriva molto presto, può dare fastidio la luminosità continua.

"In orde"

8.0

+ lekker ontbijt + heel vriendelijk personeel dat je graag verder wilt helpen (zoals taxi regelen of info over de stad ) + bagage opslag op dag van aankomst en vertrek + busstop op 20 meter van hotel, bus nummer 30 richting centrum (15minuten). + zeer nette en propere kamer + haardroger aanwezig in de kamer

- ligt een beetje afgelegen maar er ligt een bushalte praktisch aan de deur, waardoor je op 15 minuutjes in het centrum bent. - klein winkeltje op 10-15 minuten wandelen. Er is geen automaat voor drinken of snacks voorzien in het hotel. Na een lange dag wandelen, kan een flesje drinken op de kamer een leuke meerwaarde zijn. - enkel koffiekoeken (chocoladebroodje en croissant), een paar kazen en vlees, yoghurt en granola beschikbaar bij ontbijtbuffet. De rest kan je wel bijbestellen van de menukaart. Wij hebben liever een ontbijtbuffet waar je uit alles kan kiezen. Maar dit is persoonlijke voorkeur. - de 3e dag van ons verblijf zijn wij 17 uur weg geweest, van smorgens tot laat in de avond. Wanneer we terug in het hotel kwamen zagen we dat onze kamerdeur gewoon nog open stond na het poetsen. Natuurlijk lagen al onze persoonlijke spullen in de kamer waardoor we wel even in paniek waren. Er is uiteindelijk niks weg, maar ook onze paspoorten, geld, bagage stond natuurlijk ik de kamer. Dus dit vonden we wel echt niet kunnen.

"Luxurious stay"

10.0

Loved how polite the staff were, they were definitely more than accommodating. The place was so luxurious and lovely to stay at, clean huge rooms with plenty of complimentary hot drinks to choose from.

One of our towels did have a brown stain on it, but wasn't a problem, used it as a foot towel for out of the shower and we had loads of clean towels to make up for it.
