Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
When the reservation was made, I was under the impression breakfast was included; somewhat disappointed. Fortunately, the room had a sufficient kitchen & we were able to make use of it.

The hotel was a good location from the train station, it was clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet options in the morning were very good. The staff was very on top of things and very helpful and friendly.

It was good for the location and price. Would have been good to have a vending machine or something to have extra snacks and drinks.

Apex Grassmarket Hotel
Great location, lovely staff. The only comment is they need new mattresses. Beds were very uncomfortable. With new mattresses this hotel would be perfect!
