not locate close to city centre but very close to the harbour, and have free parking just opposite the hotel, room a bit small for a family of 3, air-con is powerful enough for warm/hot day. breakfast is fair, suggested to be there by 8am. overall i like it a lot!

If compared with domestic hotels in China, the gap is undoubtedly huge. As far as the UK and even Edinburgh are concerned, the hotel's location is acceptable, and you can take trams directly to various attractions in the city center and the airport. The price is acceptable compared to the same period last year. But the facilities are relatively old, the hygiene is average, the breakfast is too crowded, and the replenishment is not timely. It feels like there are many business travelers. The staff are very friendly. If it is the same price, you can also consider other places with convenient public transportation.

The location is quiet and convenient for travel. The tram and bus stops are not far to the left. Although this trip is self-driving, there is also a paid parking lot outside the hotel, and guests have a discount of £10 per day. The front desk staff is friendly and kind. The room is a twin room with large space, clean room, delicious breakfast, and overall very satisfied.
