Edinburgh Hotels with Bars

"The room was clean; however, it was poorly lit, and the dark wall colors did not help at all. Although we chose a room without windows, we did not expect such poor ventilation or effectively none at all. Our room was located on the ground floor, and there was no reception, while the hotel Wi-Fi also did not work downstairs. Soundproofing was very poor, which contributed to a situation that left us quite dissatisfied. While my friend was in the common area trying to get a connection, she was disturbed by guests who were clearly intoxicated and were rude and abusive towards her. When I went to get her, I was also sworn at, and we quickly returned to our room to avoid the situation. She also noticed that several people passing through seemed to be familiar with these guests and did not acknowledgethe ongoing situation. Later in the evening, around 21:00, one guest began crying loudly and there was a heated argument between them and another guest. Due to the poor soundproofing, we could hear everything clearly. We tried contacting reception about the situation, but they did not answer our calls. We felt unsafe leaving the room. Eventually, someone came down and only asked the guests if they were okay, and the situation was left unresolved. The noise continued for quite some time, and our sleep was significantly disturbed. Overall, we felt unsafe staying here."

"The location is great, just a 10-minute walk to Calton Hill. However, we were assigned a basement room. We wanted to switch to an upstairs room, but the front desk told us they were fully booked. Luckily, it wasn't a completely subterranean room as it had a window, so it wasn't too bad. The room provided complimentary bottled water and sparkling water, which was a nice touch. On the downside, the soundproofing wasn't great; we could hear conversations and TV noise from the next room. Fortunately, it quieted down when we were ready to rest, so it didn't disturb our sleep."
