APPEARANCE __________
The cafe is generally big with lots of room upstairs and quite a lot downstairs. I like the way it is set out in rows with a chair neatly put at every screen. There is an LCD at every section about 10 screens a row. As soon as you sit down you can type in your code and then automatically you are online and then there is the timer at the bottom which says how long you have left to surf.
ACCESSORIES ___________
There are not really many accessories here but there is a phone at every computer which I think is for help, I never ever found out. I was happy when I saw a webcam above every computer, I didn't know how to work this so I asked for help. The man helped me to take a picture, but at first when he clicked on webcam it told me I had about 15 minutes left because it had taken money so he had to fix it, then it worked fine after. I think to use a webcam it's best to ask someone. I e-mailed every picture to my hotmail account so that when I got home I could see the pictures and show people them.
HELP ___
If you need help because of any problems, there are always workers lurking about the place that will assist you. They know everything about the computers and so there are never any serious problems which cannot be fixed.
CONCLUSION __________
I think it is great that here in Edinburgh we've got an internet cafe because we don't really have that many good things. It's a great modern place and is really popular always quite busy and it's great if you don't have online access at home. I think that it's an easy place to get to it's right in the city centre and anyone can get in there.
Advantages: Open 24 hours, 4 hours for £1 during the night Disadvantages: Can get very busy in the afternoon/evening

easyEverything is a worldwide chain of large Internet Cafes owned by the same company who own easyJet and easyRent-a-car. They have stores in many major cities around the world, London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Amsterdam, Paris to name but a few.
All the shops are layed out in essentially to same way - row upon row of computer screens, which does mean that you don't get the privacy which some other Internet cafes offer. But then ... ...huge, the thing which makes easyEverything unique is the dynamic pricing policy it operates. You purchace your online time in units of £1 (minimum initial purchace £2). But the amout of time which £1 gives you varies depending on how busy the place is at the time. For example at peak time (e.g. 5pm on weekdays) £1 may only buy you 15 or 20 minutes, but at quiet periods (e.g. 3.30am on a Tueday morning), £1 may buy you as much as 4 or 5 hours.

Advantages: Quite cheap, loadsa pcs. Disadvantages: crash all the time, expensive snacks.
Wow! A new chain of net cafes with really cheap access to internet- £1 bought you 250 minutes at the start. Well now at one of the slowest hours (midday on a thursday), £1 buys you 45 minutes! The hundreds of pcs seem to all look really cool, new and fast. They are actually so unreliable, that you can never get on for more than 20 minutes without it doing a 'navigator error' and you having to wait 4 minutes for it to restart.
The pcs are quite fast ... ...money another day within the month is quite cool. Also there is always some guys wearing bright orange lurking about in case you have a problem, although all they do is press the restart button, maybe they should leave it within reach so we wouldn't need them.
The drinks and snacks are quite good, although rather expensive and they also sell earphones.
It is constantly busy but there is enough computers so thet you can get on. ...

I go into my local easyeverything cafe several times a week. I pay £5 a week for unlimited access. If I had a pc at home it would cost me more than that to have broadband access.
Snacks are available at the Nescafe Cafe, although they are not cheap. The cheapest coffee starts at £1.29 and sandwiches are mostly around £2.00. In this branch there do not seem to be a lot of staff and customers causing a nuisance are often left to get on with it.
Soound ... ...you have them, take your own headphones.
There's not a lot of help for newbies and the pricing structure is very strange at first. Best time to go is early morning.
Yesterday at 7.30am they were offering 5 hours and 53 minutes access for £1. Try beating that at home. ...

Advantages: plenty of computers to use Disadvantages: always busy but you can still find a computer to use
UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE A COMPUTER AT HOME SO I GO INTO MY LOCAL INTERNET CAFE EVERY WEEK TO MAKE USE OF THE COMPUTER. I HAVE TO SAY IT IS A VERY RELAXED ATMOSPHERE AND NO ONE BOTHERS YOU. THEY ALSO HAVE A SPECIAL AREA FOR UNDER EIGHTEENS WHICH IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, AS THEY CAN BE VERY NOISY SOMETIMES. IN THE EASYJET CAFE ARE OVER 400 COMPUTERS SO YOU KNOW YOU WILL ALWAYS GET USE OF A COMPUTER WHEN YOU GO IN. IT IS ALWAYS BUSY BUT YOU WOULD ... ...QUITE QUIET AND YOU CAN HEAR YOURSELF THINK. THEY HAVE A COFFEE BAR DOWNSTAIRS WHEN YOU COME IN WHICH COMES IN USEFUL IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE THERE FOR SOME TIME.
BUT THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT IT IS VERY REASONABLE. YOU CAN GET WELL OVER AN HOUR FOR £1 OR THERE ARE OTHER DEALS DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE.
YOU CAN GET A 24 HOUR PASS FOR AS LITTLE AS £3 WHICH IS EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY. AND THE STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL INDEED.
ALL IN ALL ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "easyEverything"
Internet cafes eh? Whenever I’ve visited them, they’ve always been small, expensive and not terribly interesting. Over recent years, these places have started to spring up all over the place, but good Internet or Cybercafes are hard to find – I’m afraid a few PCs and a coffee machine just don’t cut it as far as I am concerned.
Enter the “easyEverything” Internet café concept. I must confess that I am unsure which major cities boast one of these emporiums, but I have been in the Manchester outlet many times, and have been consistently impressed. The Manchester café is located on two storeys off Exchange Street in the city centre.
So what’s so special about easyEverything?
Hardware and Software
Manchester’s easyEverything café boasts a capacity of 375 PCs ...
Advantages: cheap, coffee+food 'delivery', fast connection, easy to find Disadvantages: downloads are not always saved, the bright lights hurt your head after a while, charge too much for blank cds, food not bought there is banned and they threaten to throw you out if they find you eating it, expensive coffee,
bring your own blank cd, they charge you about £3 extra, but dixons is near by so you could always go and buy one cheaper.
Oh yeah, its open 24 hours and there are about 300 computers set out in rows - rather computer lab stylee, but handy for sitting with a group of mates. You can find easyeverything (Manchester) on St Anne's square, next to the Disney Store. ...
Advantages: Cheap, Fast bookings, good schedule Disadvantages: None so far
Well another Greek Airline since the owner is Greek. This clever guy did something good for people and for his pocket! Everything is easy, cheap, fast and with quality with this airline. A lot of people prefer to fly with Easyjet since it provides competitive fares to its destinations. The schedule is well organised and fits perfect in our daily life. I have flown from Luton to Greece and the flight was on schedule, cause I was thinking maybe we will have some delays etc. but no problems at all. Staff on board were very helpful and polite and ready to serve and help the travellers. Fairly comfortable seats but for the price that you are flying you can't go wrong. The feeling when you fly with Easyjet is that you are in a normal bus and paid a normal bus fare. I recommend this airline and specially to Students. I'm not aware of what ...
