"I liked that the room was clean, the service was friendly, and the hotel was on a direct bus line to the base area of Edinburgh castle. However, it was very strange to have a frosted bathroom door right in front of the toilet seat. It might have been just my room, but if you are sitting on the bed, you are looking directly at the bathroom and you can see the shadow of someone sitting on the toilet."
