Comfortable stay
Pros:

The room was clean and spacious, the bed was large and comfortable.
The location was nice: airport bus station was 2km away, the city center was also 2 km away, and there were some markets (Lidl, Tesco) and restaurants at walking distance.
Self-check-in process was smooth.
I really appreciated the coffee machine from the lobby.

Cons:

Air conditioning is actually more like a fan and it cannot be used for heating.

Soggiorno leggermente fuori Edimburgo, ma perfetto per chi cerca tranquillità
Pros:

La struttura è nuova, comoda e accessibile ai mezzi pubblici per arrivare in centro

Cons:

Le prese della corrente, nella nostra stanza, erano presenti solo all’interno di un armadio e basta, quindi un po scomode
