Calidad precio excelente

Pros: La ubicación inmejorable, a tan solo 15min del centro histórico de Edimburgo. Con respecto a su personal, muy amable, nos lo explicó todo nada más llegar. Cogimos la suite, la cual calidad precio superó nuestras expectativas. Cons: Lo único malo del alojamiento fue el colchón, creo que ya deberían de cambiarlo...

Budget Friendly Option for Solo Stay

Pros: Convenient location very close to Haymarket Station. Budget friendly option for single night stay especially if you are transiting through. The wc fittings were new and well maintained. Minimal toiletries given ( A towel, hand towel and a soap). Cons: Thr rooms are old and worn out. Most of the lights were not working on my room and ensuite. My room had no window which the reception staff specified upfront. Also they dont accept cards due to a temporary issue is what I was conveyed. I wont have preferred this, had I travelled with my family. For a single person on a budget I will conside

Pros: Nothing Cons: It was a hostel and they sprayed perfume on all their sheets, pillowcases and towels to make it so nice but couldn’t breathe from the too much perfume

Totaal versleten

Pros: Locatie. Tegenover station Haymarket en ca. 20 minuten wandelen naar Old Town. Cons: Kamers zijn enorm verouderd. Badkamer is totaal versleten. Op het bed lagen lange donkere haren. Bovendien ging midden in de nacht het brandalarm zonder reden af. De eerste keer duurde het ongeveer een kwartier voordat het probleem was opgelost.
