Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile
Great staff! Great location. Not great in the laundry area. Only two washing machines and one dryer- that was bad. We booked this for that option and had to waste an entire evening of our trip getting a turn. Needs major improvements in size of this area and number of machines
