特別棒的一次體驗,酒店地理位置和無敵景色讓我們在愛丁堡的這一天很開心。從酒店到卡爾頓山五分鐘路程,去老城和彩虹街,皇家一英里都很方便。酒店本身就是起一座文物,我你也去552房間門口看了,特意刷成了紫色的門很漂亮,JK羅琳在這裏鬧中取靜的完成了第七部作品。

巴爾莫勒爾酒店,超讚,早上8點到達酒店,東歐姑娘熱情接待,直接入住,免去了寄存行李無處可待的辛勞,身着蘇格蘭裙的大叔幫忙將行李送至房間,客房服務人員除日常清掃,貼心的將各種小物件分門別類歸納,且將凌亂的數據線用綁繩綁好,早餐豐盛,超級好吃[強][強][強]值得一提的是,522房間是jk羅琳寫哈利波特時所居住的房間,擁有與其他白綠色門不同的粉紫色門,以及貓頭鷹形象扣手,為整個酒店增添了一份魅力,更有哈迷重金入住522[呲牙][呲牙][呲牙]
