Let's get one thing straight right away. Tony Romas doesn't have a restaurant in Edinburgh but there is a newly opened one in Livingston. Can the ciao database be wrong? It hardly bears thinking about. Anyway, Livingston is close enough to Edinburgh as far as I'm concerned and it should be for you too.
Phase 3 of Livingston's town centre opened just in time for Xmas last year and one of the features was an outdoor 'promenade' of sorts featuring a number of restaurant chains including Nandos, Wagamama, Chiipolatas (or some such Mexican-type thing) among others. Among the others is Tony Romas.
I can't say I was all that tempted by chicken piri-pri or guacamachillilitos, so Tony Romas it was to be.
Livingston is just the place for a corporate branded, characterless chain restaurant - we don't do quaint or cute here. So shiny ...
Advantages: Comfortable hotel - handy for the metro Disadvantages: Characterless - can be expensive
to the very end and turn left at the sign that says 'Sheraton Hotel' (you can see it from the road anyway).
It's a big, modern(ish) hotel with absolutely no redeeming features architecturally but all hotels look much the same when you're out cold at 4 a.m. I find.
We parked up and entered the foyer to check-in fighting off the bellhops vying to carry our luggage for us. 'Looking for a tip?' says I, 'Ciao Baby in the 3.30 at Kempton is worth a fiver each way.'
It didn't take too long to check in but since we had pre-booked and pre-paid it shouldn't really have taken any time at all. In fact it was around 10 minutes while they looked to find a room for us...must be some amazing database that they use.
The reception area was pretty much what you'd expect in a Sheraton - glitzy and shiny with lots of leather sofas dotted around ...
Advantages: Queue jumping, don't have to worry about entrance fees Disadvantages: Can not be cost effective
The Roma Pass was something a work colleague mentioned to me, although she did not know the name just there was some card thing that gets you benefits.
So I looked up things to do in Rome and eventually came across the website for the Roma Pass through a link from another website. The Roma Pass website is: http://www.romapass.it/?l=en
The website gave me a great insight as to what the card was, there are 2 types of cards, so it explains what both offer and how much they cost.
The standard (red) Roma Pass costs 23 Euros, and the Roma & Piu (blue) Pass costs 25 Euro's.
The website goes on to have tabs for museums, events, a virtual tour, information, download and buy. I opted not to buy ours online, and decided I would get them when there.
The website sells the cards with this strap line "The Cards that offers you ...
