"Once you reach the room it was good"

5.0

The castle vibes were good

The staircase leading to the room felt like hell with all the luggage... Really thought would get a myocardial infarction

"The worst experience I’ve had on booking.com"

1.0

The location was great but the property doesn’t mention the staircase which would be very problematic for older visitors or a family

The listing doesn’t represent the property as it uses photos from other properties they have. They also lied, it’s not suitable for 4 people it’s a studio apartment with a disgusting sofa bed (stains hidden by blanket) with a mouldy bathroom. Staff promised a cot bed but never delivered and their communication was rude and unhelpful

"It was okay, I have stayed in Edinburgh at nicer places for less than the price…"

5.0

Location was great and reasonably priced

The fold out sofa bed was WILDLY uncomfortable, so were the pillows. Usually the sofa beds are made prior to arrival but this one wasn’t. There were a few other things… such as no batteries in one remote, the carpet hasn’t been finished near the fire place which isn’t ideal and it was quite noisy from down below. I asked about where the closest laundromat is and received directions to one 15 mins walk away, only to find out the business was no longer there.

"Edimburgo I love"

8.0

Ottima posizione e ottimi i servizi. Molto spaziosa la camera. Trovi tutto per la colazione.

Il pavimento un po' rimediato scricchiola ad ogni passo e le scale a chiocciola non hanno un corrimano d'appoggio. È stato un po' difficoltoso l'arrivo ed entrare in possesso della camera. Ma tutto risolto in poco tempo.
