"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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the beginning of our stay was amazing. Archie at the front desk is an asset to your company and deserves a large raise. We are from the United States and never felt more welcome from the minute we stepped in this hotel. I'm pretty sure It had to do with Archie at the front desk his personality and love for his job made our stay one of the best. As for a woman at the front desk was not nice to my husband one of the days we were there. We are here in Scotland for another 4 weeks and hope to meet more people like Archie. His knowledge of where to go what to do and what to see was perfect. I must add the room was clean , big & the view was absolutely amazing as we had a room with a balcony. We would like to Thank Archie for an amazing reception. Claudette & John"
