Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Lovely hotel, very convenient for attending an event at the Highland Showground. A little busy on check-in, but staff were doing their best and had all 3 desks manned!

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
Great location. The stay was overall good. The main issue was the bathroom which did not have a fan or window so very humid and there was mold on wall and on grout so unpleasant to be in that room.

Everyone was so nice. Squeaky floors but that is ok. Scotland is amazing as is the staff.

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Incredible location, five minute walk from the train station (though uphill) and right in Old Town. Place is clean and stylish, and the jail cell rooms are charming. Laundry was a plus.
