這在大學裏麪，比較安靜。到市中心去需要坐車20分鐘到半個小時左右。這裏的所謂的大床是兩個單人床拼成的，中間有個明顯的溝，如果習慣國內五星級賓館的1.8米的大床的話，這確實是一個缺陷。感覺英國一些旅館用他們管理上的方便交換旅客的體驗，令人失望。

如評分所示，其他方面都比較滿意。房間拖鞋需要call前台才提供，普通spring water5磅一瓶，沒有免費提供。

酒店在愛丁堡大學波洛克校區內，這邊院子主要以學生公寓為主。離愛丁堡火車站直線距離説不上遠走路半小時，主要是上坡路多，感覺較遠，公交或者打車都可以，我們還是選擇走路。
服務：前台服務員小姐姐很熱情，事無鉅細都介紹很詳細，還給了地圖，在上面畫了幾個重點景點。大部分工作人員是附近大學生兼職，房間收拾的挺乾淨，茶包沒了也會及時補上。
設施：設施齊備，兩張床距離很近，可以拉開。比較遺憾的是沒有一次性拖鞋，其他都很好。配有咖啡機咖啡粉，各種茶包和茶點。
環境：房間帶窗，能聽到銀鷗的叫聲。
衞生：衞生間乾濕分離，水量充沛，也乾淨。
很好的體驗。周圍有個荷里路得公園能看到阿瑟王的王座。爬到最高點能俯瞰全景。
