Satisfactory Stay Near Craigmillar
convenient bus several choices electric kettle
I found the bus stop very close to the hotel. The bus to the city center was convenient. Breakfast included several choices, such as cereals and toast. The room had an electric kettle, tea, and coffee. This was a plus for early mornings.
The carpet in my room looked quite worn. I believe new carpets would improve the appearance of the rooms.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel offers complimentary parking on the premises, a notable benefit, though spaces can fill up quickly. Breakfast is served daily from 8:00 am, with a continental selection. Free wifi is available throughout the building, and the signal strength was reliable.
