The hotel/rooms were of a very high quality with a large amount of facilities available in the room, including tea/coffee facilities, iron and ironing board, usb charging ports, and large screen tv. Good locaton withing a few minutes walk of the mile and grassmarket. Only negatives were the front door was very stiff and difficult to open. Thankfully im a fit and able man but id imagine an elderly person would not have been able to open it. Also the temperature of the water on the hot water tap was extreme. Definitely worth turning down slightly.

Location was at a decent place, not far from Old Town, bars and cafes nearby. Easy to get a cab on the street and hotel has a button to order one. But the reason why the hotel is poor, is the overall bad condition of it. Both rooms carpeted floors were disgustingly dirty and drapes had dirt that looked like a bloodstain on them. Shower/bath is really poor and not cleaned well. Also both rooms were really chilly. Staff mostly nice and helpful. Didn't try breakfast, sounded too pricey for what it was listed, but close to the hotel there's foodshops and cafes. The bed was really good.

Top Lage und perfekt für einen Kurztripp. Saueberkeit ist leider ein Fremdwort dort. Wen es nicht stört würde ich dieses Hotel empfehlen. Für empfindliche würde ich raten mehr Geld in ein Hotel zu investieren. Frühstück war gut.
