Feedback about Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile enjoys a superb location right on the Royal Mile, placing guests steps away from the area's vibrant atmosphere. The apartments are generally well-equipped, often including a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and all the necessary utensils for preparing meals; many guests found the beds comfortable. Some visitors, however, have mentioned that the lighting in some rooms could be improved, as the windows can be small. Breakfast is often described as lovely and plentiful.

The location proved acceptable. A gym was available for a swift workout.
The price was considerable. Housekeeping proved nonexistent. To obtain fresh towels, one had to proceed to reception. This is substandard.

The hotel location allowed convenient access to the city's attractions. I found the accommodation provided spacious rooms suitable for relaxation and movement. I also appreciate the variety of amenities provided for convenience and comfort. I found the fully stocked kitchen especially great for preparing meals.
I noticed the staff was not always friendly on arrival. This did diminish my initial impression of the hotel.

the room was big enough for two people and had a kitchen it was equipped with a stove microwave fridge and basin the location is good it is in the city center. getting to the location by bus or train means walking on uneven roads so take this into account if you have heavy luggage i appreciated having a kitchen.
the bed was a sofa bed and it was uncomfortable i woke up with a very sore back every morning the room description did not mention a sofa bed.
