Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
The staff was nice and the room was clean but the property itself was pretty beaten up in the hallways. We were also disappointed by the “hot” tub as it was lukewarm at best and some of the jets were blowing out cold water.

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
Excellent centrally located Aparthotel on the Royal Mile but far enough away from the main tourist attractions. Everything is within walking distance but does include steps and hills! Comfortable rooms, with great amenities, comfortable beds and pillows and good size bathroom.
