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.
