"A great place to stay in Edinburgh in a really central location."

Excellent location very close to Waverley Station. A very warm welcome from the host. A delicious breakfast that took into account my food allergy.

"Preis-Leistung nicht ganz transparent, Personal jedoch super nett und Frühstück frisch zubereitet, Auswahl sehr minimal"

7.0

Sehr zentral, sehr nettes Personal, kleines aber sehr gutes Frühstück.

Zimmer sind ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Bad sehr alt und klein. Reinigung des Bades wurde nach der 1. Nacht nicht gemacht. Somit ist der Preis für die Grösse des Zimmers und der mangelnde Komfort eher an der oberen Grenze.

Service + Lage Top

£239.-- pro Nacht inkl Taxen und Frühstück finde ich übertrieben auch wenn es ein Doppel zur Alleinbenutzung war, sind heute ca € 280.--/pro Nacht.

"Will definitely book again!"

9.0

Murray was so welcoming, attentive and easy going. Location was ideal for us as only a short walk to the Assembly Rooms and close to all amenities.

We would try to book a room with a bigger bed next time, being 6’ 5 is a challenge
