Caldo record in Edimburgo
Pros:

La colazione era tra le più variegate che abbia mai visto.
Ma anche la camera merita un menzione: dovendo restarci spesso per lavorare, non sentivo minimamente il peso claustrofobico, anzi è confortevole con un'enorme finestra luminosa.

Cons:

Nulla: forse a colazione un barman che facesse caffè e cappuccino, piuttosto che una macchina, sarebbeun saltodiqualità.
Ma è solo un consiglio.
