Traveler'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.

Great Location, Nice Hotel
Nice Hotel, great location, good service. My room did not have an A/C but the themparature was nice so it wasnt a problem. The hotel is walking distance to Waverley Bridge (which is a stop on the airport bus route and the hop on hop off tour bus). Its also next to a Mall and walking distance to the royal mile
Traveler's tip on local attractions
The Hotel is also close to the bus station. From there you can take (buy the tickets in your hotel) the Highlands & Loch Ness tour which is great, you’ll see beautifull views and a short boat cruise on the Loch (not included). Take note that the tour is long (12 hours) and a lot of it is spent travelling on the bus. But I was very happy with the tour
