I had a mixed experience during my stay at Le Monde Hotel in Edinburgh. The central location and spacious rooms were definite highlights, especially the complimentary glass of Champagne at check-in. However, the noise from the nightclub below was a significant drawback, disrupting my sleep and overshadowing the positives of my stay.

The staff were friendly, and the decor was charming, but for the price, I expected a bit more comfort. Overall, while some aspects were enjoyable, I wouldn't return given my experience.
