"Stayed for 2 nights, reception was on 7th floor, our room was on floor 1 so we did not see reception after check in. The hotel is right across from the train station (Waverly) which is so nice when you are pulling several bags! The room was nice, had a sink separate from the shower/ toilet which I like. Our shower drain was poor and you had to keep turning the water off to let it drain, but using the handheld sprayer worked fine. It is so close to the Royal Mile, shops, restaurants and attractions. Would stay there again, but hopefully with better drainage!"

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

8/10 Good
"Overall I was quite happy with our stay at Point A. I’ll start off by saying the staff was wonderful and friendly and helpful. We loved our room and the bed was very comfortable. The location is great. Close to Haymarket and no more than a 15-20 min walk to all that Old & New Town Edinburgh has to offer. My one complaint that prevents me from 5 stars across the board is this. In other hotels I’ve stayed at in the UK, coffee and tea has either been available to hotel guests all day, or there has been a kettle in the room to make tea. After a day of sightseeing I wanted nothing more than to head back to my room and enjoy a cup of tea in front of the telly. Instead, I had to pay for tea in the lobby. Other than that one little thing, I’d stay at this hotel again the next time I’m in Edinburgh."

"We had a very good stay at Adagio Aparthotel and were really happy with our experience. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The location was excellent and very convenient for exploring Edinburgh, with many attractions, restaurants, and shops within easy reach. The apartment-style setup was especially convenient for our family and made our stay more comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well organised. Overall, it was a pleasant, comfortable, and hassle-free stay. We would definitely consider staying at Adagio again on our next visit to Edinburgh. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
