excellent location and spacious suite

central locationspacious apartmenthot drinkshelpful staff
I arrived early, around 8am. the staff stored my luggage until check-in, which i appreciated. the location is really good. It allowed walking access to all attractions. a two-bed apartment was spacious. i appreciated the hot drinks and milk in the fridge upon arrival.
the noise from the hallway easily penetrated the door. this woke us up around 6:30 am each morning, a little frustrating.

the location is in the city center, though in a quieter area. the hotel is near the train station. a bus stop for hop-on-hop-off tours is right outside the building. calton hill is just one block away.

The apartment was well-decorated and very clean. the suite i had was massive. the beds were really comfortable, and the duvet and pillows were great. The room included a tv. the windows are double-paned, which reduces outside noise at night.
