Aparthotel in Edinburgh's Old Town.

Overview

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile sits at 231 Canongate in the Old Town, roughly ten minutes on foot from Waverley station. It is an aparthotel rather than a plain hotel, so each unit pairs a private bathroom with a kitchenette that includes a coffee maker, kettle, crockery and utensils. Some apartments also have a seating area. Guests can choose between a studio with a double bed, a studio with twin beds, or a large one-bedroom apartment.

Practical extras include a 24-hour reception, a lift, laundry facilities and heating, with a continental breakfast on offer. Edinburgh Castle is 0.9 mi away, and the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh Playhouse and the Military Tattoo venue all sit within roughly 2297 feet. Edinburgh Airport is 6.8 mi out. Rooms are non-smoking, facilities for disabled guests are listed, and pets are allowed, though charges may apply.

Who It Suits

The kitchenette and apartment layout suit travellers who want to self-cater part of the time, from families using the family rooms to longer-stay visitors who need laundry. Twin-bed studios work for friends sharing, and the large one-bedroom apartment fits anyone wanting separate living space. The 24-hour reception helps late arrivals after a delayed train or flight. Pet owners can bring an animal, subject to possible charges. Solo backpackers chasing the lowest possible bed price may prefer a hostel elsewhere, since this property has no dorm beds and every unit books with a private bathroom.
