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.
