Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
We arrived late after travelling after work. The reception team were welcoming and it was an east checkin. There was even frozen meals available at the small shop they had, which solved our issue as we'd missed supper. The room was actually really quiet, which was brilliant as we were up early.

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG
Across the road from Haymarket, decent bar adjoining hotel. Room quite small but fine for a couple of nights or so. Only problem was seal on window wasnt great so could hear qind whistling and traffic noise. Black out blind also had a tear which let in light too early. Decent value though.
