Loved our stay at CODE - The Court. As a family it was brilliant having a family room with bunk beds for the younger ones. Everything was so clean and service was amazing. The staff were all so helpful with any questions we had. Will definitely be back

Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh
The room was clean, I found the bed comfortable but my partner felt the mattress was too hard. The room was too hot though, we had the a AC going to offset the heat at the end of November! Pool and gym were great!
