1.0

I left a bag with my expensive things in it. I called immediately and was told that they would check it when the new guest left. I called again and explained to the manager that I had not used public transportation, I was in my car and I remember exactly where I left my bag. I asked them to check the cameras, to which they said that there are no cameras in the entrance! And they insulted me. This is disrespectful to the guest. When you pay such a sum for one night, you should put elementary cameras in the

"Excellent location near Waverley Station, but the lack of a lift may be a challenge."

8.0

Excellent location, just a short walk from Waverley Train Station

The property should clearly mention that there is no lift and access is via a spiral staircase, which may be challenging for elderly guests and those with large luggage

"Estafa!!!"

1.0

El alojamiento es una estafa. Reservamos una habitación superior con vistas a royal mile. Llegamos y no funcionaban las llaves, llamamos y nos dejaron 30 minutos en la calle. Nos bajaron a una habitación inferior con vistas a un patio. Una cama horrible, olor a humedad, un ambiente raro, llaves tiradas por el suelo.. les digo que me reembolsen la diferencia de precio y de repente me dicen que me reembolsan y que me vaya, digo que no ( 4 noches). De repente llegamos y vemos un cartel pegado en la puerta diciendo que el propietario anterior está explotando ilegalmente el negocio y que actualmente no tienen licencia para tener huéspedes y que nos tenemos que marchar. De repente sin explicaciones booking me reembolsa el dinero, cambia la teserva para una noche y me dejan en la puta calle sin que nadie me diga vete o qué está ocurriendo pero temiendo irnos y que nos cambien la clave con nuestras cosas dentro ya que en la reserva la cambian a 1 noche ( la que habíamos pasado). Búscate la vida a las 20 h de la tarde y busca 3 noches más y gástate otra pasta mientras te reembolsan Tengo el papel guardado y todos los mails diciendome que el check in está correcto, que nos esperan, las instrucciones para entrar y todo. No os fiéis!! Es una estafa y un ambiente muy raro que huele y roza lo peligroso

Ubicación excelente.

Para subir a la habitación las escaleras son muy complicadas de subir. Si eres mayor o vas con carrito de niños no puedes alojarte aqui.

Location was great but I had no idea until I got there about the check-in process

Bed mattress was not good and the WiFi was unusable which, Unfortunately, is a big deal for travelers

"Terrible - so bad we booked somewhere else"

1.0

It was not possible to communicate with a human about the booking. The instructions provided were confusing and required logging into various websites. The link to one website provided didnt work. It was buried in the T&Cs that there were steps to the room. There was no mention that there were 70 steps. We re booked somewhere else as a result and when asked for a refund or partial refund on day one of the three day booking were told no. Subsequent correspondence was not replied to . It was a negative experience and poor form on behalf of the operators

sadece konumu

en başta yatak çok rahatsız, altındaki tahtayı hissedecek kadar eski ve kötü oda 28 m2 olarak gösterilmesine rağmen, max 15m2 büyüklüğünde oda çok soğuk, camlar oldukça eski olduğu için ekstra soğuk eşya koymak için hiç bir dolap/çekmece/raf yok, tüm eşyamızı sandalyenin üzerine koymak zorunda kaldık
