The location is excellent, with a tram right outside the door that goes directly to the airport; you can walk to Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle, etc.; the hotel staff are very enthusiastic and help with luggage storage.

From the train station, follow the Calton Road exit sign to take the elevator out, cross an underground passage and follow Shangpo Road into the main road, just follow the navigation straight ahead, it's about a 10-minute journey. It's very convenient, the hotel service is good and the facilities are simple. There is free coffee and hot tea on the first floor 24 hours a day, which is worth a thumbs up! The room is clean and tidy, with two windows facing the road and the shopping mall opposite. You can see the busy scene. Two butter biscuits are given every day, which are very rich and delicious. You can buy some of these biscuits as souvenirs. The room is cleaned every day, the room on the 3rd floor is quiet, it is worth recommending! The hotel is very close to Calton Hill, just a 10-minute walk away
