“This hotel strikes me as a practical choice, especially given its proximity to tram and bus lines for reaching the city center and airport. The neighborhood's varied dining scene is another clear advantage, with several nearby restaurants and cafes. I particularly like that the location offers convenient access to both the Leith area and central Edinburgh.”

the in-room safe seemed pointless it was unlocked and i couldn't figure out how to lock it anyway maybe a detailed instruction manual would help also i thought the mini-fridge was rather noisy it kept me awake a little during the first night i eventually unplugged it and things quieted down a lot the following night i slept like a log i'm not sure if it was the silence or pure exhaustion

the location near leith proved very convenient for me. there were many good restaurants and bars within easy reach. public transport options like buses and trams were also nearby. the room suited my needs, since i spent much of my time exploring.
the room felt a bit small, but the bed was quite comfortable despite the limited space. i did notice a slight plastic smell upon entering, a bit of a distraction. the shower's design, intended for handicap accessibility, made it less comfortable for standard use.
