Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Have stayed at this Hotel a few times and felt this time the food/bar service poor. Had an evening meal with very limited menu and had to go and collect yourself from the kitchen bar area. Tables not clean or trays. Felt like we were at our old school canteen!

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.
