Edimburgo... tornerò!
Pros:

La posizione è ottima. L'autobus dall'aeroporto arriva a 300 metri a piedi.
Letto comodo ma piccolino per due amiche, era una piazza e mezza. Bollitore per caffè, tisane. Biscottini. Frigo utilizzabile. C'è Phon, tavola da stiro, ferro. Portate adattatori per la corrente.

Cons:

Purtroppo la colazione si serve in un locale esterno alla struttura e non lo amo particolarmente. Pensavo fosse a buffet invece si può ordinare caffè e, al max, un piazzo presente sul menu e non sempre soddisfa le scelte. La colazione per il giorno dopo, se ritirata prima, non contiene molto. Per il prezzo al giorno per colazione... mi sembra eccessivo. A questo punto, se bisogna uscire, non la pago e la faccio dove mi trovo bene, in uno dei bar lì vicino.
In camera c'era solo un poggia valigia, essendo in due, una l'ha messa per terra. Non c'è un armadio dove poter poggiare abbigliamento, solo grucce per appendere.
