Moyen pour un sonder

Chambre bruyante car une trappe qui laisse passer de l’eau n’arrêtait pas de se déclencher la nuit ! Chambre au bout d’un très très long couloir et appartement très sombre, très peu de lumière .

Great place to stay but very poor wifi

Great location and good access to public transportation. The bedrooms in the accommodation we had were comfortable and well decorated with ample storage space. The kitchen was well stocked with all kitchen items you could possibility need with the added benefit of a washing machine and dishwasher. Only issues were the wifi being very poor and that there was no info on how to use the digital thermostat. The wifi would connect but keep dropping/disconnecting to the point we gave up trying to use it. This also affected the digital tv.

Wonderful apartment. Very cosy, very clean. Decoration is beautiful and everything you might need is ready for you. We had a studio without view (which means there are no windows at all), but it was perfectly ventilated and that didn’t bother us at all (except checking the weather in the morning maybe). Our only complaint is that the bed was a bit small (1m40) for 2 people. We also didn’t receive the correct room number and our code to enter the building was wrong. It would have been tricky if we did arrive as planned late at night.

Really spacious but a few issues

We had a 2 bed apartment, 1 queen size bed and 1 single. The apartment was huge, really spacious and lots of storage and it’s in a fab location really central for everywhere. First impressions were very good but there were a few issues. The biggest being no ceiling lights in the queen bedroom and living area, only tiny wall lights with yellow bulbs. I couldn’t even unpack my case without the torch on my iPhone never mind be able to see myself properly to dry my hair and put on make up. The girl on reception did try her best to resolve this by getting us some brighter, whiter bulbs for the wall lights and a lamp. We were also offered a change of room but would have to pay £50 which we declined. We managed with the brighter bulbs but overall it did make the apartment feel a bit dark and dungeon like. I imagine it would be better if you stayed in the summer and got more natural daylight. Other than that the shower head popped off a couple of times and the shower screen didn’t meet the top of the bath properly so water went everywhere when you were having a shower. I few minor other things that just took the edge of the overall impression, wire hanging down from behind the tv, part of the radiator was falling off in the hallway and one of the sockets in the kitchen wasn’t working. Overall a few minor changes and attention to detail could’ve made a ok stay and really good one

Fantastisk fint boende

Jättefin vistelse. Önskvärt med varsina täcken i dubbelsängarna samt bättre ljus. Rent och fint och en bra och personlig service. Trevligt med ett startkit i köket.

Übelriechend und heruntergekommen

Apartment bereits heruntergekommen und übel riechend, auch nach längerem lüften. Fotos irreführend und nicht einmal annähernd so wie dargestellt. Grundsätzlich sauber wenn man Kleinigkeiten nicht beachtet. Einziges Personal an der Rezeption freundlich. Zentral gelegen. Preis Leistung stimmt überhaupt nicht.

Hospedagem tranquila e próxima às principais atraç

O hotel fica bem localizado, numa rua tranquila, mas proxima à Princess Street e às principais atracoes de Edimburgo. A equipe tambem é muito educada, gentil e prestativa, fornecendo prontamente informações importantes para aqueles que visitam a cidade pela primeira vez. Com base nessa experiência, voltaria a me hospedar em hotéis da rede Sonder.

The property was clean, aesthetically pleasing, in a great location for walking the city, close to shops and restaurants. Even though you do have a code, there is someone on property for a number of hours during the day. Only downsides, communication was difficult and lacking, and the twin bed in the twin room was uncomfortable for an adult.
