Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Took the blue bus from EDI airport at 7 pounds, includes return ticket. Ten minute walk from city center to hotel. Arrived at 8:00 am, Stored luggage until first available room, about noon. Enter shopping mall from hotel. Many attractions in walking distance. Bus transportation great, 3 pounds will get you a day pass on any city bus. Do not drive in the city. Heavy construction of rail system not to be completed to 2012.

Terrible service
The place is OK looking, pretty clean, but the service was terrible. Took ages to check in, room was ready late, no-one answered the phone at reception or room service.
