Hotel Mesra Haiwan Peliharaan di Edinburgh

就在皇家一英裏，地理位置很好，很方便。離火車站也很近，但是火車站在修路，拎着行李趴了四五層樓上去，差點累死。 正值國際藝術家，門口就有藝人表演，很多人很熱鬧，但房間隔音挺不錯，一點也不吵。訂了兩個房間，另一個房間在角落，一點信號都沒有！ 暑假旺季+國際藝術節，房價真的貴3000+這價格房間有點小，衛生還可以。但是早飯不好吃，建議直接在隔壁麵包店吃一口就行。

The front desk staff was very welcoming after our late checking. He took us and showed us the room all by himself. Very nice guy. And yeh we got room upgraded. The room was spacious, clean, very luxurious, bed was super good, pillow good, and the Aarn brand for shampoo and body lotion was amazing. Also the boss speaker inside the room was fantastic. On the other hand the room were very dark. The fan in the rest room was loud. There was no room phone surprisingly. And in the late night it gets bit loud. Can hear people talking outside. Other than that we had a very homely feeling. The room was the in the other side of the building, so there was no view.

愛丁堡火車站出來就是王子街上。出門購物看景點去哪裡都方便。蘇格蘭人熱情nice，酒店早餐非常好吃，半自助式，房間床品也很舒服，提供的晚間乳液真的太好用了，可惜買不到了，像牛奶一樣，還能抵抗蘇格蘭的大風乾燥天氣。最好的城堡酒店了。

Location of the hotel was great. Close to old town of Edinburgh. Everything in a walking distance. Hotel room was a then worn out. Shower hose was leaking, toilet floor was soft and starting to break. Small cracks in the furniture and the floor. Toiled door had some moisture damage.  AC was working/not working and there was a high moisture in the room. Window (that should not be able to be opened) was open. Layout of the room was from the worst side. 1 chair to sit on and wardrobe as far from the door on the opposite side of the room. No hand towels, just shower towels available. Breakfast was basic. Elevator to the floor was fast that was good. 

Apartment was very spacious and clean. Our bed was okay although the pillows could be better. We had a great time preparing our dinners here because many cooking tools are provided. There are two washing tablets for our three-night stay so we did have to get our own at a Sainsbury’s nearby since we did have more clothes to wash. The washer worked fine but the dryer somehow didn’t. We tried to use it three times but the clothes were still wet in the end. We had to hang dry our clothes in the closet after spinning them at a higher RPM, which was fine because they got all dry by the next morning. There’s also an app for the hotel that you can download where you can request services from the front desk, which I thought was a nice touch. Staff was generally friendly and the location of the apartment was close to several restaurants and a grocery store, and it’s not too far from the train station. I’d definitely consider staying here if I ever visit Edinburgh again.

We are so satisfied with Aparthotel! It is very clean and has everything we need. Especially when you want to stay in the same place for a few days and don't know where to eat, this hotel is equipped with basic cooking ware, rubbish and recycling bins and a dishwasher! Is is also located in between the train station and city centre. When you feel tired you can always go back for a rest before heading out for dinner.

Underwhelming reception in the bar. Pleasant staff. Not quite what we expected for the price. Location is a short walk from the train station and near Calton Hill. Not hard to get anywhere with basic fitness. The room size was huge. With plenty of nice living space. Good size kitchen, limited basic cooking pans etc. no can opener. No coffee machine. Stove, microwave oven and dishwasher all functional and clean. Bathrooms were ok, basic appearance and the sink bench had a large amount of badly patched up damage. The 2nd bedroom and bathroom was downstairs, the bedroom heater was not on and the bathroom towel rail was so hot it burnt, with a dial that didn’t work. Showers adequate. Beds were ok. Firm. The windows were a view of the building across the street and a fairly daggy lane below. So not great. Also the train station and we went to sleep listening to announcements from there. Noise was not a big problem, and we had nearly no noise from the rest of the building. Apart from some daggy hallways, bathrooms, Single slow small lift. Locked rooftop and basic reception. Our problem was the ceiling. A massive water leak all over the hallway that was not dealt with immediately. It’s obvious by the ceiling that this is an ongoing issue. I worry about the safety of the ceiling and our safety was compromised by a water on the floor. I had to ask twice for it to be fixed. Apparently maintenance had been messaged, communication was non existent. No apologies, not good enough. The price is for room size and location. Don’t expect good service or high quality.

Virgin Edinburgh is a gorgeous hotel with spacious rooms. It’s located super close to the Royal Mile, the castle, and lots of other in-city sights. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We highly recommend the hotel! The only issue we had was that there is no parking at the hotel and it is recommended to park 15 minutes away. I wish there was the option of valet parking for those of us unfamiliar with driving in the city.

Before you arrive, make sure you sort your parking at QPark at Omni nearby if you are driving. You have to book it in advance online and use the discount code. The procedure changed in April (apparently) between the time of us booking and the date of arrival, nobody told us, and QPark point blank refused to honour the discount code when we drove out, whilst the hotel receptionist just shrugged his shoulders when we told him at check out. That cost me 14 pounds extra, which was just annoying - and not really how you treat a Platinum member and at 24 pounds a day full price per day or part of day, the parking is not cheap. We had a bigger room with a sofa bed (318), which was fine and the bathroom was big. But again when the shower gel dispenser ran out we asked for it to be replaced in the morning at the check in desk, but returned that evening and it was still empty. The towels were changed every day, the double bed was small, but the room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was often crowded, a basic buffet, but the bar staff were friendly the lobby is a haven of peace in which to sip a cider. There is no fitness room or gym, and the property is expensive in peak season for an Holiday Inn Express. At the end of the stay, I did not feel I had received value for money especially when hit by QPark's larceny. But the internet worked fine and the location is very convenient...

Great location, easy parking and lovely helpful staff, but glad we got a good deal on the room as ours was looking very tired and could have done with a new carpet. I would have been disappointed with the room if I had paid nearly £200 for it.
