Ciekawy styl. Super położenie.

"Very Good"

7.0

The location is perfect, in the heart of the old town. Correct but could get more points with slight improvements. Would book it again as a couple, for three people is a bit small.

The spiral stairs to the apartment could have better lighting and a handrail, as it's really dark and hard to see. The apartment could use a higher table and maybe some foldable chairs, as the space is limited, to make it more comfortable to eat.

"Incredible, would recommend!"

8.0

This property has an incredible location and was walking distance to all the best attractions. It was spacious and comfortable. We had an incredible stay.

We couldn’t figure out how to get the pressure right on the shower (but this might just be our own ignorance)

"Hinta laatu suhteeltaan majoitus oli erinomainen."

10.0

Sijainti oli erinomainen. Huone oli kodikas, kylpyhuone oli toimiva, ilmastointi siellä toimi.

Portaat olivat pahat. 4. kerrokseen oli 75 kierreporrasta. Olisi vielä paremmin pitänyt kertoa, millaiset ne on. Matkalaukut oli vaikea raahata ylös, mutta selvisimme kyllä.

Vi er desværre ekstremt skuffede over dette ophold. Det fremgår ingen steder tydeligt, at der ikke er tale om et hotel, men derimod separate lejligheder placeret rundt omkring. Ved ankomst stod vi på en travl gågade i Edinburgh og ledte efter et hotel, som viste sig slet ikke at eksistere som fysisk sted. Først efter at have spurgt en lokal blev vi gjort opmærksomme på, at der var tale om forskellige lejligheder på forskellige adresser. I forbindelse med opholdet har vi modtaget i alt 11 mails og 5 sms’er med information. Gennem en række links skulle vi selv finde både adresse og kode til nøgleboks. I en tid hvor man i forvejen bombarderes med information, bør så centrale oplysninger være klare og lettilgængelige. Vi havde desuden booket en barneseng, hvilket var bekræftet på forhånd. Ved ankomst var den dog ikke til stede, og hverken udlejer eller Booking.com besvarede vores henvendelser samme dag. Det resulterede i, at tre personer måtte dele en lille seng, hvilket naturligvis ikke er acceptabelt. Lejligheden fremstod umiddelbart nyrenoveret, men rengøringsniveauet var ikke tilfredsstillende. Derudover fremstår det misvisende, at der ikke er et egentligt tekøkken, når opholdet markedsføres som et lejlighedshotel. Samlet set en meget skuffende oplevelse, som vi ikke kan anbefale.

位置绝佳,出门到处是景点!!跟着房东图片提示很快就能找到房子,楼下很热闹。

因为是旧城区,公寓内没电梯,有大箱子的小伙伴真的需要慎重。古堡旋转楼梯拎大箱子,真的有点崩溃。
