Oversigt over rejsendes anmeldelser

Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate roses for sin fremragende centrale beliggenhed, der gør det nemt at udforske byen. Gæster fremhæver ofte det venlige og hjælpsomme personale. Vær dog opmærksom på, at ejendommen ligger på en meget livlig gade, hvilket kan medføre betydelig støj, især om natten. Nogle nylige anmeldelser nævner problemer med renligheden på badeværelserne og mangel på køkkenfaciliteter.

staff was rude and unhelpful. Told us our room wasn’t ready at 2 pm, which is fair, but then we waited an hour, and when we went to check in at 3 pm there was a long line. Staff didn’t try to help by saying a line would occur and that we could be at the desk 15 minutes prior. Also the room was very dirty. Old wine bottle under the bed, lots of dust under the bed and other things. No binliner in the bin. Annoying light from the outlet by the bed. All the toilet stalls smelled like urine.

The private room came with a private sink and shower as well which was a nice and unexpected suprise! We stayed on the second floor at first and then at the first floor. Our rooms were both isolated form the noise outside so that wasn't an issue but the hallway and especially the bathroom on the First floor smelled awfully like cat piss and when we left, very early in the morning, we found someone who fell asleep on the toilet and we had to allert the staff otherwise they would have noticed.
