""I had to stay in EDI airport after a meeting didnt
work out and due to an inflexible ticket i had to skip about 2
days. Hotels were about 110GBP PER NIGHT !!! so I decided to
spend my time there.
In general I know many airports due to business travel and EDI
is, even for this purpose, one of the best Ive ever seen.
Security was there but after showing a valid ticket the friendly
guy let me sleep.
Wireless Internet is available for 10GBP/24h or smaller passes
as well as Internet terminals operating with coins. The only
problem: NO plugs for recharging... so I took one behind the
internet terminal of which the security guy wasnt quiet happy.
In the restaurant upstairs are some to recharge but theres no
network :(
In the night cleaning staff was there, talked loud but respected
my need to sleep. Ongoing announcements from 5:30AM until 11:00
pm (take ear plugs!)! The first night was ok from the
temperature but after that the sliding door was broken and the
cold december wind came in. Best place at the intl. arrivals
where are even very clean bathrooms.
Food stores and cafes have acceptable prices, even the
restaurant upstairs !
ATM, postbox, public phones available.
Would stay there again IF STRICTLY NECESSARY !!!"
