Sightseeing & culture

04 July 2011

Liked: The location

Disliked: It was very noisy, the bar below was very loud until 2am then there was a man water blasting the courtyard at 530am. The tv did not get any channels and the jug didn't work. The first night we were there we were given a twin room with two single beds pushed together that were very uneven, old and squeaky. This hotel is very over priced for what you get.

Liked: Great location at the heart of edinburgh old town. Staff is friendly and helpful. The shower is good with adequately hot water and strong water pressure. Asked for universal electrical adaptor and hotel staff attended to my request immediately. Good size room although the sheets could be cleaner but that's only a minor issue against the other plus points. Definitely recommend....!
