To be honest, I was so angry this time. The room I booked was completely inconsistent with the room I was given. I changed the room twice. There were problems with the room. Either there was no hot water in the room or there was a problem with the faucet. The floor was very dirty and greased. This time I came to Waldorf Astoria. I am really dissatisfied and I can only be speechless with their front desk staff.

The location is first-class and very convenient, but the building is very old, the service is excellent, and the sanitation is good. The only drawback is that the sense of history is too heavy...

I booked a hotel to see Edinburgh Castle, but the room was on the E floor, which was very short. The streetlight pole happened to be in front of the window. Although I could face the castle, the view was very poor. The facilities are old and the faucets are splashing everywhere. Moreover, there are very few sockets, the heating is useless, and the wind blows coldly. The winter in Edinburgh is unbearable.

The room is a bit old, the facilities are average, the breakfast is good, it is very close to Princes Street, there is a market downstairs, the overall feeling is OK.

Very poor. The rooms in the pictures are all equipment rooms that are rebuilt and added on the same floor. Either there are large equipment on the same floor, or there are large equipment on the roof or the windows are facing the main unit of the air conditioner. The noise is very loud, which affects sleep very much. Ask them why We were not given a room in the normal main building. The front desk replied that it was complicated and could not be explained, but they could not give them a normal room in the hotel. The yellow doors are normal corridors and rooms (not for living in), and the gray and blue doors are addition and remodeled rooms (for living in). Picture 3 shows that the refrigerator is as big as the one where the mask is placed. In the end, under the active coordination of Ctrip staff, I left the store early. If the hotel noted that the room was abnormal, I felt that I would not book this hotel. It's a good place to live around for the same price. Please be careful with this bad hotel. Rooms are categorized. The service is very slow, it is almost impossible to deliver something, and the hair dryer is broken.

The front desk was very friendly and upgraded the room. The view of the castle from the window is beautiful.
