Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

Friendly staff. The hotel within a period building has so much character. Smooth check in and the gym is nicer than I imagined. The only downside is that my room is facing the court yard and we were woken up at 7am by the creeking noise of the metal garden furnitures. The opening time should be revised for both staff and guests.

Located right on royal mile within stones throw of Holyrood Palace, King Arthur’s seat walk. Lots of eatery immediately outside of hotel. Just be aware that parking is several blocks away with extremely tight exit ramps. I scraped my rental car rims full sized SUV getting out of the carpark.

Great location and liked that they had laundry facilities.

The staff were very good and friendly on check in. We were very happy with the facilities. The room was in very good repair and clean. Breakfast was very good. It is a buffet style with hot and cold foods. The use of laundry facilities was great. Super close to the Royal Mile for things to do. Loved the location, close enough to easily get to things yet still quiet at night. Would stay there again.

Great location at the quieter end of the Royal Mile. Quick walk to everything. Good food options nearby. Clean spacious apartment. Nice breakfast. Small gym and laundry services. Perfect for me and my daughter.

Fantastic space. I chose a compact room with a kitchen. Eventually I realized the microwave that an oven feature too so I was able to cook a quiche in it I purchased not far from the hotel. There were zero issues with my scent allergy… everything was fantastic. They even disconnected the laundry soap dispenser so I could use my scent free detergent. The staff were exceptionally kind The location is safe, very convenient and has tons of shops, attractions and restaurants and bars around it. I felt very safe and well taken care of at this beautiful hotel and I will definitely be back.

Great location. The breakfast is really good. Staff is very helpful at the front desk. There’s even a place to do your laundry in the basement. I really like this place. It’s a lot cheaper than a hotel.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was. My second time here. Everything was provided in the studio room to make our stay amazing. Great location to explore Edinburgh. The parking was a few blocks away and not included but the hotel does offer a voucher for a reduced rate. Loading and unloading in front of the hotel can be tricky because it is a busy street but we had no problem. The soap in the bathroom is highly scented which may be an issue for some people.

Stayed one week August 24th to 31st. Location is fantastic at bottom of royal mile which less noisy from top of royal mile. Very walkable to attractions and the hop on/off bus stop. Check in was smooth. Craig offered early checkin with sign up of loyalty program (free). This was greatly appreciated. There is no room cleaning for shorter stays. There are garbage rooms on each floor to place recyclables and garbage. Breakfast options were great. Lots of restaurants nearby that offer vegetarian and gluten free meals. Prices are equal to hotel. Beds are comfortable. Studio room had a kitchenette to make meals. Downside was toilet and bathtub. As a shorter person I found toilet was too high (feet dangling) and bathtub a little too high. Used support bars to get in and out. Shower head was low even for me. Ask front desk toilet paper and clean towels. Air conditioning does work. Need to leave a card in the holder by the door, leave the switch that was on one wall on and turn thermostat back on when you return to room. I would book again directly with hotel for points and walk in shower option room.

Great location. Super clean rooms. Tiny gym. Friendly staff.

Hotel was great but bathroom floor was dirty and the sound of the elevator dinging was constant throughout the night

Room really was not the cleanest - noted there had been a dirty cotton bud left from previous stay. Rooms are dated could do with a refresh. Sofa bed is poor along side the bedding alongside it. Bathroom ceiling started leaking at night - can’t fault the staff, really quickly found us another room and were apologetic . Other room just was dirty, with mould in the shower. Really good helpful staff just not very clean and could really do with an update.

The location is excellent; right on the Royal Mile. Operated as apartment style hotel, it offers minimal services (you pay for room services and clean towels etc during your stay). We stayed in the studio so needless to say it is small but well equipped with kitchen wares in the kitchenette. However the bathroom sink is so small and shallow so when you turn on the tap to get the hot water, it would overflow literally to the floor. When we first got in the room, there were hairs on the pillow cases which was huge turnoff! It made you wonder whether the room was clean!

This property is in a great location and all major attractions are easy to walk to, however, the cleanliness of the room left something to be desired. The hotel as a whole needs an upgrade.

From the warm welcome by reception staff, a thoroughly clean room, well kitted out just perfect for our needs for a weekend away.

This aparthotel is a place you either clean yourself or pay extra to have housekeeping but the cleaning transition between guests was questionable in my unit. Plates were visibly grimy in the cupboard. The glasses in the bathroom were visibly grimy. There was a smell from the toilet seat when you lifted it upon entry. The tv remote control battery needed to be replaced. No change provided for the laundry. One dryer out of service. They advertise dry cleaning on Expedia but they have not provided that apparently since Covid. The front desk was as helpful as they could be, and I appreciated their assistance. It was a great and safe location.

We stayed for one week and the service was great. The room was spacious but not very clean. We had to wear shoes in the room, otherwise our socks turned black. The trash was not cleaned out when we first went into the room. The shower was clogged and almost flooded the bathroom. The bathroom had a mildew smell. The front desk employees were very responsive and helpful. They had maintenance fix the shower drain and housekeeping clean out the trash. Although there were deficiencies, the service was WONDERFUL. We never had breakfast but it smelled amazing each morning! The hotel is in a fantastic spot for walking! It is a short walk to Holyrood and in the opposite direction about a 15 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle. There is a Hop On/Hop Off Bus stop about 5 minutes from the hotel for convenience. There is no parking on premises but they offer a discount at a car park only 5 minute walk from the hotel. Overall the hotel was well worth the price paid with excellent service and the location cannot be beat.

These are more geared toward longer term stays including a small kitchenette, laundry downstairs, and dishwasher. It was a great stay overall. Very centrally located, but still quiet. Clean and comfortable.

I really liked this place for the most part. The location was good for everything touristy, it was equipped with everything you need to cook, the bathroom was clean with nice water pressure, dishwasher worked well, nice view, the staff were friendly enough without being over the top. I LOVED the towel warmer and turned it on about 30 mins before I took a shower to warm up the bathroom. I also was able to wash undergarments in the sink and dry them on the towel warmer (I cleaned the sink afterwards!) The Cons: - water didn’t get very hot - I have a phobia about strange bed linen so I put the Murphy bed up and slept on the couch. Underneath the Murphy bed was filthy. I had to sweep the floor, wet a cloth and mop the floor and then use a wet cloth to dust the underside of the Murphy bed so the dust stopped falling on me. That was pretty gross. There were toenail clippings and food under there. - couch is SO uncomfortable to sit on, decent to sleep on. It’s hard as a rock. Plus, it’s sort of Velcro-ed to the base and it comes unstuck and slides off. I had to adjust it at least once an hour. For reference, I am 4’11” and 100 lbs so for taller/heavier people, I imagine it would be even more aggravating. - the bathroom has a bizarre set up. As I mentioned, I’m a petite person and I found it difficult to navigate in that wee space. I honestly don’t know how a larger person could feel comfortable in there. It was clean and nice though. *I would stay here again despite the cons

There was no sanitary bags for changing in the bin, there was also hair on the duvet cover and dust under the bed. The shower suspension was broke but the shower fully functionable. On the positive side a very modern kitchen with everything you need if you want to make a homemade meal. Closely situated to for ex. Holyrood Castle.

Great location on the Royal Mile - midway between the castle and Hollyrood Palace. Easy short walk from the train station. Bed was a little hard.

Location!! Spacious and comfortable, and clean. On the most important tourist street in Edinburgh, but just ever so slightly out of the craziest part (so not noisy).

Great location. Close to Waverley Train Station and in Royal Mile. Place is clean and Andrea allowed us for an early check-in for free. The only problem is the washroom doesn't have an exhaust.

Nice staff, proper amenities. Laundry was convienent and on the royal mile which was nice. Very close to the train. The bed was not comfortable as it was a murphy bed and shower pressure was terrible.

These are more geared toward longer term stays including a small kitchenette, laundry downstairs, and dishwasher. It was a great stay overall. Very centrally located, but still quiet. Clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay on the Royal Mile, not far from the souvenir shops, Holyrood Palace, and St Giles. The hotel also has a luggage room to hold suitcases before check in if needed. Only downers were that the air conditioning in our room was difficult to figure out, and one of the teacups provided was dirty. There was also only hand wash soap in the shower. Still a great stay though!

great location. spacious one bedroom. comfy beds. easy check in.

Overall it was a good place to stay. However bed needs to be updated mattress was lumpy and definitely sagging

We were happy with the property’s location, which was very convenient. However, for the nightly rate being charged, we expected more in terms of amenities. Instead of providing basic shampoo and conditioner, the room only had a 4-in-1 product for hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The AC unit in our room also didn’t work well, making it quite warm.

Nice hotel, but room was a bit shabby - curtain didn't open/close, stool collapsed (only one screw), safe didn't have working batteries etc. Nothing major, but not to normal standard for Adagio.

Unfortunately the hot water wasn’t working so we had to shorten our stay. The property management were fantastic and very apologetic… discounted our one night stay and refunded balance of monies.

We had a wonderful stay at the Aparthotel Adagio! The front desk staff were all very kind and helpful. They also let us check in a little early for no charge if you sign up for their email list. The room was spacious and comfortable for our stay. The location was also amazing and was in walking distance to all the major attractions/shopping/food. We also tried the hotel breakfast on our last day and there were plenty of options to choose from and was worth it for the price if you're looking for something convenient.

The staff were very good and friendly on check in. We were very happy with the facilities. The room was in very good repair and clean. Breakfast was very good. It is a buffet style with hot and cold foods. The use of laundry facilities was great. Super close to the Royal Mile for things to do. Loved the location, close enough to easily get to things yet still quiet at night. Would stay there again.

This was a great place to stay. The staff was very nice and friendly. It was close to everything. I was able to walk everywhere and felt safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Great service, very friendly and helpful

Wonderful staff! Incredibly friendly and helpful. Hotel’s location is great: close to sights, restaurants, and the train station. It would have been nice if the garbage room was easier to find (either marked on a map or the location listed somewhere) and if garbage bags were easier to access. It was kind of odd to have the TV located so far off to the side. I can understand why it was there, though, since the kitchenette took up most of the wall space, but it was hard to see the TV from one side of the bed. We were in an accessible room (not because we needed it, but because it’s what was available at check in). I was pleasantly surprised at the accessible features. In addition to the more common ones (lower peephole on the door and a lower sink), there were also what I assume were emergency cords next to the toilet and in the shower, in case someone could pull if they needed help. This room also connected to the room next door, which I also saw as a plus.

Great location; surly front desk staff

Staff was great. Kudos to Cassandra who understood our needs during our stay and made everything work out. Breakfast was great although it is the same each day. Far enough from the noise of the Old Town tourists yet close enough to walk to everywhere. Highly recommended!

We’ve never stayed in an international apartment before and did not know what to expect. The property is lovely, the rooms are satisfactory, the staff is their best asset. Incredible staff who are all dedicated to going above and beyond. We left a bag behind in error, and they went out of their way to return the bag to us. I am very grateful.

Cleanliness , friendly staff

Wonderful hotel, friendly staff, big rooms, only a 5 minute walk from the Waverley train station and less than 5 minutes from the Royal Mile. Very central, yet quiet. Highly recommended!

Best location

This was our first time traveling to Edinburgh from Canada, and we were highly impressed with everything this hotel (which was a last-minute kind of booking we made) offered. It is close to the train station, and is an easy walk to the main attractions, and getting to our pick-up points for our day tours/walking tours was easy. Fantastic Location! The manager offered us a free bottle of Chardonnay and the hotel had everything we needed for a meal indoors (with take-out food) and was quite cool. There is a grocery store nearby, pubs close by, and not too noisy. Recommend strongly!

Adequate small hotel in a great location.

Great location...close to train station and great pubs and grubs.

Fantastic location, staff and unit. Completely soundproof. First time I’ve stayed in a hotel and heard absolutely nothing

Convenient location on The Royal Miles; modern interior.

This property is located right on the Royal Mile. It is close to Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, restaurants and many other sites. Buffet breakfast was great.

We liked how quiet it was given how close it was to everything. Great breakfast, too. We would stay there again.

Breakfast pre cooked eggs bacon not great! Room needs a good clean mainly floors behind beds and under tables etc.

The Royal Mile has become a zoo, but it's also the spine of Edinburgh (literally), and so a hotel on an extension of the Royal Mile that's both centrally located and not quite so frenetic is a great compromise. The service was very good, the rooms clean, and the cooking facilities and full-size fridge meant we ate out when we wanted to, not because we had to. The included breakfast was about average (please find a better supplier for the consistently stale pain au chocolat!) but filling, and we found everything easily walkable, from the castle to Arthur's Seat (okay, climbable) to the Water of Leith. I'd happily stay here again if we return to Edinburgh.

Clean . Good breakfast . Quiet

This property is located right on the Royal Mile. It is close to Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, restaurants and many other sites. Buffet breakfast was great.

Ideally located, quiet, comfortable Breakfast very expensive but not needed due to kitchen

Great location with all the facilities you need and a fantastic breakfast!

Everything was fine, but it is over-priced for what it is. Easy 10-minute walk to Waverly Station. Nice breakfast offerings.

The great: The breakfast was outstanding. Excellent help from the attendant, and the food was delicious, abundant and attractive. Beyond that, it's in a great location, is very clean and is reasonably priced. On the downside, there were some problems with the room--the main closet door was broken, and a request to repair didn't get a response. The towel warmer cut out after the first day (not a terrible problem, but it would have been nice if it worked!). Overall, though, I was really happy with the place and would absolutely stay there again!

I thought the breakfast was way to high (20 lbs.) and it was HORRIBLE--shriveled sausages, old old produce--really terrible. However the desk personnel were always friendly and very helpful. I didn't like the no daily cleaning and carrying your own toilet paper and towels upstairs. We were there during the Fringe Fest and WOW the prices were usury level high.
