É triste
Local de difícil acesso, fomos de carro, afastado do centro, o quarto era antigo, o chuveiro era bom, o café bem simples, sem estacionamento, o carro ficou na rua.

Poor & overpriced
I wouldn’t call this a hotel, rather a shabby ,run down , grubby, dingy guest house. The curtains were tatty & almost hanging off the track in room 11. Pillows cheap nasty clumps of foam. En suite .... if u could call it that was so small you could hardly turn around in it. My cake mixing bowl is bigger than the sink in there! Absurdly expensive @£80 for single occupancy. No where to eat nearby apart from 1 restaurant offering a £50 taster menu. Shame as it is a beautiful building but needs a comprehensive up grade.

alte Zimmer, schimmliges Bad
der Standort war gut, zwei Minuten zum Bus, von da 5 min. in die Stadt. Die Zimmer waren in einem sehr sehr alten Zustand, es war leicht miefig im Zimmer, die Tapeten gingen ab, und im Bad schimmelte es in einigen Ecken. Für 50€ wäre alles ok gewesen, aber für rund 100€ die Nacht einfach eine Frechheit

Well placed, but single room not great
The hotel was in a nice road in quite a smart bit of Edinburgh, with a bus stop just round the corner – so perfect for returning home late at night on my own. The room was clean – small, but I knew it would be. Teas and coffees provided. When I booked it I hadn't realised it said private bathroom rather than ensuite, but I didn't mind this, assuming that meant it was my own bathroom, but outside the room rather than within it. Turns out that 'private bathroom' actually means 'with lock' as it was very much a shared bathroom, on the floor below, although there is a tiny loo on the top floor. The worst thing about the room, however, is the fact that there's no window, just a skylight covered with a sort of lace curtain thing. So there is no view, and no way of seeing what the weather's doing, and it felt very claustrophobic in there. While I would consider booking this hotel again, I wouldn't book that room again, and I would suggest that Expedia should review the mention of 'private bathroom' and change it to 'shared bathroom'.

2/10 Poor

What a dump, the rooms smelt awful in fact as soon as you walk into the building the smell hits you. Room was spacious but windows would not open properly as gunked up with paint and grime Staff were unhelpful I told them I had to see a client first thing in the morning, I was too early for breakfast which is only open for 1 hour and when i went into the breakfast area there was sheets drapped over the tables and chairs vey hygienic, she gave me a Banana and a yogurt I would not of ate anything else from the kitchen as it looked appalling dirty. This is with out doubt the worst hotel I have ever stopped in Parking is on the road

Très bon accueil et bien situé
Emplacement idéal pour visiter Édimbourg. Calme et proche de la station de bus. Chambre spacieuse pour 3 et très propre. Le petit déjeuner est cependant très moyen.

Pleasant stay in Edinburgh
A pleasant stay in a quiet area. Had a small room at the top overlooking gardens. Although I did have a car ( street parking) it was handy to get a bus to the Royal Mile or Princes Street. Not really anywhere local to eat or shop.

Tenant nice and willing to help you. Room clean and simple. Breakfast a bit too small. 30min walk to city center. Major black point: no free parking as described when I booked, got a 30£ fine... => 110£ for one night ; a bit too expensive.

Très bon accueil.
Accueil chaleureux et sympathique. Le propriétaire est prêt à donner tous conseils nécessaires pour faciliter le séjour. Nous sommes arrivés tard. La clé nous attendait malgré tout. Chambre de 4 personnes assez spacieuse. Petit déjeuners copieux. Un peu en dehors du centre d'Edinburgh mais liaison aisée par bus.

It was smelling of curry and permeated through the room therefore we did not stay for breakfast.
