Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

"Excellent hôtel très bien situé! C’était assez tranquille la nuit même si c’était près de plusieurs pubs. Nous avons adoré y séjourner et le recommandons fortement. Lit confortable, chambre assez grande. Nous avons opté pour deux lits simples afin de bien dormir car dans la description ce n’était pas trop claire si c’était des lits King size et nous n’avons pas regretter, les lits étaient collée donc c’était tout comme! N’hésitez pas et allez-y, vous allez aimer!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

"Beautiful exterior fit nicely within the surrounding area. Centrally located by Royal Mile, High St. staff was immensely kind and helpful. Thank you to Sara for going above and beyond. The room was spacious and clean as was the bathroom."

W Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Superb hotel in great location. Room with 2 beds was spacious and having the balcony was very nice. Only issues are that: 1) the bathroom is small and awkwardly designed compared to rest of the room which also resulted in the floor getting flooded anytime a shower was taken, and 2) gym needs additional weight machines to make it more complete and up to expected standards for such a nice and modern hotel."

Holyrood Aparthotel

8/10 Good

"It was nice to have laundry inside the unit"
