"Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt im schönen Edinburgh"

8.0

Wir waren das erste Mal in Schottland und sowohl die Stadt Edinburgh als auch die Unterkunft haben uns gut gefallen. Das Personal war super freundlich und sympathisch. Das Essen ist von guter Qualität und es gab kein Plastik, also keine Wegwerfprodukte beim Frühstück. Die Ausstattung ist gemütlich und modern, bei gutem Wetter kann man auch schön draußen sitzen. Die Nähe zum Zentrum mit den vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten war für uns optimal und sowohl zu Fuß als auch mit dem Bus (wir haben die 2 genommen) gut erreichbar. Abends konnte man noch gemütlich ein Getränke an der Bar einnehmen.

Leider sind im (neuen) Bad keine Handtuch-Aufhänger in der Nähe des Waschbeckens, für den vorhandenen Föhn gab es im Bad keine Steckdose. Leider gibt es kaum Möglichkeiten die Kleidung in einem Schrank unterzubringen. Es gab einen ganz kleinen Schrank in dem kaum etwas hineinpasste. Für einen Kurztrip mit vielleicht 1 bis 2 Übernachtungen mag das okay sein, aber wir waren länger dort und haben größtenteils aus dem Koffer gelebt.

"​Wir waren für drei Tage hier zu Gast und sind absolut begeistert. Das Hotel überzeugt nicht nur dur"

10.0

​Wir waren für drei Tage hier zu Gast und sind absolut begeistert. Das Hotel überzeugt nicht nur durch sein wunderschönes Ambiente, sondern vor allem durch einen unfassbar freundlichen Service. Das Team ist extrem aufmerksam und liest den Gästen sprichwörtlich jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab. ​In Kombination mit dem dazugehörigen Spitzenrestaurant ABACUS wird der Aufenthalt hier perfekt abgerundet. Wer eine Unterkunft mit hoher Qualität und echter, herzlicher Gastfreundschaft sucht, ist hier genau richtig. ​Für uns eine ganz klare Empfehlung – wir kommen definitiv wieder!

"Outstanding Edinburgh Hotel"

10.0

On the campus of the University of Edinburgh, this hotel is set in a park-like area walled off from the noise of the road. Guests at the hotel include scholarly conference attendees, parents of students, and independent travelers like us. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast delicious, and the facilities for evening relaxation lovely. The bus in and out of downtown Edinburgh stops nearby. The bus ride into town is about 15-20 minutes depending on where you get out. There are a rich variety of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. We have stayed before and love this hotel.

10.0

The breakfast was excellent there was a wide choice of hot freshly cooked dishes to order as well as a continental buffet. The beds were very comfortable and we slept very well. All the staff were professional friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again.
