Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
Room was clean and beds were comfortable. They offered us Tide pods for free to run a load of laundry which was very nice. Great location, just below the main areas of the Royal Mile. Definitely would stay here again.

Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Staff were brilliant, very friendly and helpful. However the bed in our room was really uncomfortable and squeaky, and the bar didn’t have any alcohol-free drinks available which is a bit poor these days. Glad we were only there for a few hours before an early flight.
