Guest review
9.0All good. Nice quiet hotel. Clean and tidy. Breakfast nice.
Good value
9.0David greeted us and made us feel like we were at home. Saw him each day and he always asked how things were. In addition, the rest of the staff were very friendly as well. The location was perfect (5-minutes from the Royal Mile). The whole hotel was clean - kudos to the cleaning team! The breakfast was good and plentiful.
− No electrical outlets in the bathroom. In fact, only 2 in the whole room, none even close to the bed, and the closest one for the coffee machine you literally had to put the machine on the floor. One-side of the bed had USB/C and nothing on the other side. Bed was small for two people and if 1 was large it is not comfortable.
Guest review
8.0Typisk britisk frokost, er ikke så glad i egg, bacon, pølser til frokost. Annen mat er jo noe man må godta når man er på reise i et annet land. Men, gode frokostblandinger :-)
− Viser til svaret mitt ovenfor. Ellers kan jeg anbefale hotellet.
The location is simultaneously good because its proximity to the Royal Mile and also not so good because of Cowgate nigh
6.0The location was nice.
− The beds were hard. Also, Cowgate gets a little rowdy after dark.
