Hanover 71 Suites

Felt like we were staying...

Liked: Location was perfect. We were in town primarily for the marathon.It has a boutique feel. Very fresh, modern and classic all combined. Bathroom was spacious.
Disliked: We booked a room for 3 adults. The bed was comfortable for two. The hide away bed was less than comfortable and was a very very tight squeeze to open it up and be able to walk from one side of room to bathroom or honestly anywhere in the room. The red staircase was gorgeous but a shocking experience to lug suitcase up and down

Superb

Liked: Awesome location!
Disliked: Lots of stairs

Passable

Liked: Location is good.
Disliked: Our room at level 3 and need to bring our luggage up by stairs. Not recommended to elderly and middle aged like me. Second bedroom super small, the space just enough for a bed.

deferred maintenance, no elevator, smoke...

Liked: The location was good, central to everything.
Disliked: Room was smaller than pictures indicated, bathroom had mold and broken tiles (overall maintenance issues), 4 flights of stairs and I don’t recall listing mentioning no elevator). Biggest problem was that the smoke alarm went off at 12:30 at night for almost an hour before anybody from hotel management would respond. Turned out not to be a fire but water pouring out of the ceiling in a room two floor below ours. Every guest was up and outside because the alarms were so loud.

Wonderfully central and very comfortable

Liked: The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Edinburgh. The room is clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff were available to answer questions by phone and everything worked out very smoothly. There are lots of places nearby to get dinner or breakfast. The parking in st James Quarter was a bargain and straightforward to manage.
Disliked: The sleeper sofa in our room was a bit uneven, but we still all slept ok. No lift and fairly steep stairs could be a challenge for less able bodied guests

Useable space for a one...

Liked: Great location
Disliked: Odd set up for gaining entry, kinda noisey too.

Exceptional

Liked: Very clean and great location.

Exceptional

Very good

Liked: In spite of the location, it was very quiet at night. The bed was excellent, very comfortable and big. We took the train from Waverly to London at the end of our stay, and our room was very convenient and close to Waverly.
Disliked: With the tall dramatic windows and swooping draperies, it was a pity to have such an uninspiring view of a blackened stone wall. :)
