We booked this hotel for one night at the end of a round trip. It is very centrally located, within a few minutes walk, for example, of the high street and the castle. Our room was under the roof, had only two small windows and was embrasures as very small. But it was relatively newly renovated and very nicely decorated. Since we were only there very briefly, it was OK. The breakfast was very good! Cereal, fruit, bread rolls, toast, sausage and cheese, but also typical British breakfast, on the card can arrange and the freshly prepared in the kitchen. ... The departure of Scotland I have time haggis-really delicious! As our ordered transfer to the airport not showed up, the front desk helped us promptly and well. read more

Silvester Aufenthalt 2010 / 2011, typ sehr gut archived

Ich habe meinen Freund mit der Reise überrascht. Der Eingang des Hotels befindet sich in einer Seitenstraße, in einer ganz typischen Siedlung von Edinburgh. Dadurch liegt das Hotel sehr Zentrumsnah und ist dennoch sehr ruhig gelegen. Während unserer Reise wurde das Hotel gerade saniert, deshalb waren wir die ersten Gäste in einem neu renovierten Zimmer. Wundervoll modern, schick und atmosphärisch nett eingerichtet. Von den Bauarbeiten haben wir dennoch nichts bemerkt. Unser Bad hatte sogar eine kleine Badewanne, die auch eine Duschmöglichkeit bot. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten nur Frühstück dazu gebucht, was auch noch vor Ort ... möglich ist. Dieses ist landestypisch ausgerichtet, aber für ein Frühstück völlig ausreichend. Neben Toast, Müsli, Obst, Quark etc gibt es auch reichhaltigere Angebote wie Schinken, Rühreier etc. Meinem Freund hats immer geschmeckt - ist halt sehr fettig. Direkt neben dem Hotel ist eine Bushaltestelle. Wir sind immer zum Zentrum gelaufen. Dabei haben wir wunderschöne verwunschene Pfade gefunden. Bis zum moderneren Zentrum dauert es zu Fuß ca. 15 min. Unweit des Hotels gibt es eine kleine Bar mit vielen deutschen Getränken, ist aber eher für junge Leute eingerichtet *g*. Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohlgefühlt. Sehr empfehlenswert! read more

Average good hotel in great location archived

The hotel is an old Natursteinbau, formerly a hospital. The decor is modern and typically British. The hotel is in a great location - it is about 5 - 10 minutes on the Grassmarket, a central square in the old town of Edinburgh. You can practically all downtown Edinburgh explored on foot. From the airport you can take the bus 35 almost directly in front of the hotel - stop high Riggs. The rooms are different. At first we had a room on the lower level, and is wheelchair accessible, but not necessarily recommended: The bathroom was for able-bodied people ... who appreciate a bit hard to get used to, the bed was too narrow for two persons and our traveling companions had to complain about a dirty sheets. Apart from the bed linen was the cleanliness however, in a good location. After the change in one of the upper floors we found was much better rooms. Another negative is also the vent for the bathrooms which are already unpleasant black tile grouting emerged. The staff is friendly and helpful - requests are immediately dealt with. You should speak English. The breakfast is good - there, but you can get full Scottish breakfast put together individually. read more

Our room was very, very small! With two suitcases and hand luggage the room was already too full. Unfortunately the room was in very bad condition. The walls, drapes, and bathroom were dirty and not in a good condition. Stains everywhere. Strange was also as it is less than a toilet brush was in the bathroom. On request we were told that would NOT usual Very strange. The decor was a bit dated and very dark. Ok, we knew that this is a "old building" but the rooms were bright and friendly. Our towels were unfortunately also dirty. Stains and ... traces of the owners were unfortunately to find. In the bathroom/toilet was hardly any place and right on the first day we noticed a wood trim before the feet: -( breakfast was unfortunately not included and had to be paid at £6.95 extra. This was fresh and fine. read more

Nice hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Typical redbrick property with towers and bay. Hotel has a patio where you don't park (only a short distance to unload the luggage or). Parking for a fee is supposedly nearby, but we didn't need it. Cleanliness is ok! Breakfast was not included. 6.50 GBP per person if you to upload it. read more

    Rooms are very large. In the 1 . Night we had a normal size and in the second. A huge room with an additional night couch. Bath was in order with bathtub with shower curtain. In the 2 . Night it was even a bathroom with double sinks. Large flat screen TV in the room. Ironing board in the closet. Rooms very clean, but with carpeted floors (flip-flops don't forget! ).

    Restaurant in the hotel. Have only had breakfast. Cheese, cereal, orange juice, etc. From the buffet, warm dishes served. Quality and cleanliness of the restaurant ok! Breakfast for hotel guests: 6.50 GBP per person.

    Staff was friendly. Language: English. Even at breakfast we waited a German. Free internet in the lobby (albeit very slowly). Room cleaning was ok! But we were only at the beginning of our Scotland round trip 1 night at the end of stay 1 night. So we always had "fresh" room. Had no complaints.

    The location is quite good in the middle of Edinburgh. Walking distance if it still about 15 minutes to the Castle have been. uphill, therefore have a taxi. Distance to the airport took about 1 1/2 hours are from the airport to the hotel and the Airlink (airport bus) The however it only drove up to Waverley Station, and from there you have to take a taxi to the hotel. Therefore we went from the hotel to the airport by taxi (cost: about 22 GBP). Shopping: Royal Mile and high street.
