Loved by guests
"This hotel offers hotel rooms with an apartment feeling."
"Having a full separate bedroom for ourselves, and a corridor so one set of people don't have to walk through the bedroom space of the other to get to the loo is fantastic and something we really appreciated."
"Wonderful hotel, friendly staff, big rooms, only a 5 minute walk from the Waverley train station and less than 5 minutes from the Royal Mile."
Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile, Edinburgh - A Clever Take on Urban Living
The Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile is not just another hotel; it's a thoughtful reimagining of urban accommodation, cleverly concealed within the striking façade of Sailors Ark, a former serviceman's hostel with a history of supporting the city's less fortunate. This aparthotel offers a refreshing blend of self-catering freedom and hotel-like convenience, presenting itself as a smart and contemporary choice for discerning travelers.
Location
Ideally situated on the Canongate, the up-and-coming eastern end of Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, the Adagio places you at the heart of the city's storied past and present. Within a mere ten-minute stroll, you can reach Waverley Station, the Scottish Parliament, and the Palace of Holyrood House. The National Museum of Scotland, St Giles' Cathedral, and the National Museum of Scotland are also within easy reach, making it a perfect base for exploration. The immediate vicinity offers a curated selection of dining and drinking establishments, ensuring you're never far from a local flavor.
Style and Character
The interior design is a departure from the expected, offering a bold, contemporary aesthetic that is both light and spacious. Deep sea blue walls are punctuated by burnt orange sofas, and a playful touch of wackiness appears in the form of a foosball table set against a vibrant jungle wallpaper. It's a design sensibility that feels distinctly French in its curated, retro-modern flair, lifting the look from mere economy to a smart urban chic. The space feels meticulously designed to be both functional and visually engaging.
Service and Facilities
While an aparthotel, Adagio ensures guests are not wanting for amenities. A fitness room is available for those wishing to maintain their routine, and a continental breakfast is offered for a convenient start to the day. The reception and lounge area serves as a welcoming hub, designed to be a space you'll want to utilize. For longer stays of eight nights or more, a weekly cleaning service is provided. For guests requiring it, there is always assistance readily available, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.
Rooms
The aparthotel offers a choice of studio and one-bedroom apartments, each designed to provide a comfortable and independent stay. These air-conditioned spaces feature well-equipped kitchenettes with refrigerators, stovetops, coffee makers, kettles, crockery, and utensils, allowing for the freedom to prepare meals. Expect comfortable seating and dining areas, ample hanging space, and practical amenities such as safes, hairdryers, small work areas, and large televisions. Bathrooms meet hotel standards, offering a bath or shower and complimentary toiletries. Some apartments feature a separate living room with a double fold-away wall bed for added flexibility.
Food and Drink
The continental buffet breakfast is a highlight, offering a decent spread of coffee, tea, juices, yogurts, cereals, fruits, breads, pastries, and even cake. While there are no onsite restaurants, the apartment's fully equipped kitchenettes offer the perfect opportunity to explore local produce and prepare your own culinary creations. The surrounding Canongate area, however, presents a diverse array of nearby dining and drinking options, catering to every palate.
Value for Money
The Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile presents a strong value proposition, particularly for those who appreciate the flexibility of self-catering combined with the essential services of a hotel. The inclusion of a kitchenette, spacious living areas, and access to facilities like the fitness room, along with options for additional paid services like full cleaning or linen changes, allows guests to tailor their stay to their budget and needs. It's a practical choice that offers significant benefits over traditional hotel rooms for longer stays or for those seeking a more independent experience in a prime Edinburgh location.
Accessibility
The aparthotel demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity, with eight apartments specifically designed for guests with reduced mobility. These thoughtful accommodations ensure that travelers with specific needs can enjoy their stay with comfort and ease.
Family-Friendly
While not explicitly detailing children's specific amenities beyond a children's corner in the lobby, the spaciousness of the apartments, particularly the one-bedroom options, makes them suitable for families. The presence of kitchenettes allows for easier meal preparation for younger guests, and the location offers proximity to attractions that appeal to all ages.
“This aparthotel stands out for its Royal Mile address, putting guests at the heart of Edinburgh's historic district. The combination of apartment-style living with hotel services makes it an appealing choice for families and extended stays. While some reports mention inconsistencies in cleanliness, the fully furnished apartments and convenient amenities, including kitchenettes, offer real advantages.”
