Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
Great location, but the bathroom wasn’t very clean and there were issues with the hot water. Customer service was good. We only stayed two nights and spent most of our time out exploring, so it wasn’t a huge deal. The small kitchen is cute and the beds are okay.

Premier Inn Edinburgh Cc Royal Mile
The premier plus rooms were lovely except the curtain doesn't close all and the Wi-Fi was horrible in room with a premier plus room. Asked for days regarding help and no one looked into it or followed up with me, regarding the room I was in having a dead zone.

Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
Very helpful front desk. Wonderful daily breakfast. Well stocked gym. Clean large rooms and bathroom. Excellent location and transportation options. Hot tub was a little too cool to use.

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG
The only criticism I have is at the official address is in the rear. So when we first arrived, our Apple Maps app sent us up the street down a side alley to the rear door. Other than that service was good, the pub connected to the lobby was excellent. Just a great experience.
