人々が愛する理由
- Location is unbeatable for nightlife (Cowgate) and history (Royal Mile is just up the stairs)
- Free hot buffet breakfast is a reliable money-saver in an expensive city
- Modern soundproofing generally holds up against the rowdy street outside
クイックテイク: It's a clean, standard corporate hotel sitting directly on top of Edinburgh's rowdiest party street—bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
@itsemmalarson によるレビュー: I stayed here in January and it was the perfect cozy hideaway. The room was super warm, the bed was huge, and everything was spotless. I really appreciated the green initiative too. I'd definitely stay here again!

Reality check
Rooms are described as 'compact' and 'small,' and the 'city views' often just mean looking at the street or a wall unless you get a church-facing room.
- You plan to stay out late enjoying the Cowgate bars and clubs
- You are fit enough to handle steep hills and stairs daily
- You prioritize free breakfast and modern plumbing over historic charm

行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The 'view' from many rooms is just the brick wall of the building next door.
💡The shower pressure is surprisingly good for a budget chain.
💡You can hear the bass from nearby clubs in the lower-floor street-facing rooms.
💡Housekeeping sometimes misses dusting high surfaces (top of wardrobes).
💡The Wi-Fi is fast enough for streaming, which isn't always a given in Old Town stone buildings.
