Overall the stay was good, but there’s no reception — you check in by yourself. You must know your exact arrival time because only then can you contact them to request the door code. Make sure you have roaming or a local Edinburgh number ready, as you’ll need to call them upon arrival. It’s quite different from Asia, where hotels usually email detailed check-in instructions in advance.
