During our recent stay at the Apex City Of Edinburgh Hotel, we were thrilled with the spacious and comfortable room. The facilities were top-notch, and we especially enjoyed the great-sized bathroom with both a shower and a bath. The location of the hotel was absolutely perfect for exploring the city, as all the sights were within walking distance. We were able to easily visit Edinburgh Castle, which was just a short 10-minute walk away.
Despite a minor inconvenience with the hot water on our second morning, it was quickly resolved by the hotel staff. They even offered us the use of a shower in another Apex hotel nearby, which was only 100m away.

I recently stayed at a 4-star hotel in the heart of the historic Old Town. This place is situated in a prime location in an area called Grassmarket, making it extremely convenient for exploring all the tourist sites in the area. Everything was within walking distance, which made it easy for me to visit all the attractions I wanted to see. Additionally, the hotel itself was directly opposite the lively Grassmarket, allowing for a vibrant and lively atmosphere right on your doorstep.
I would highly recommend this hotel to my family and friends.

I recently stayed at Apex Hotel in a great location. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Reina who gave a warm welcome each morning. The room had stunning views of a lit red Edinburgh Castle. The shower was great, the bed comfortable, and there was a huge TV with a Nespresso machine. The breakfast was top-notch and we even received complimentary drinks at the bar and chocolates in our room for our anniversary celebration. I will definitely return to this lovely hotel.
I can recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located in the vibrant Grassmarket area, making it convenient for exploring the city center and attractions like the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Guests appreciated the easy access to restaurants and shops in the surrounding area. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing helpful information and calling taxis upon request.
Some guests mentioned that the TV reception in the rooms was poor, and the temperature control was not comfortable.

I had an amazing stay in this hotel. The location was fantastic with a great view of the castle from my room. It was so close to everything I wanted to see and in a good area. The room was spacious and clean with a huge mirror. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Nothing bad to say.

I had a fantastic stay at this place! Its location is unbeatable - directly opposite the grassmarket, which is a great area to explore all the tourist sites in the Old Town. Despite being behind the castle, it's in a quieter area of the city. The service was excellent, room service, housekeeping, and laundry were all available. The amenities were top-notch, with separate tub and shower, free toiletries, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen tv. The dining and bar areas were also great. And the staff were incredible, with a very sombre receptionist at the reception desk helping us during an incident outside of their control, and assisting us with exploring the city minus our luggage. it's a great place, and I'd recommend it to family and friends.
As for cons, there weren't any negative aspects of this hotel. The service, amenities, and location were all superb.

The Apex hotel in Edinburgh exceeded all expectations with its well-equipped bedrooms, impressive amenities, and great location near the Christmas markets. Courteous and professional staff made check-in smooth, and the room and bathroom were top-rate. The hotel was clean and had everything needed, with friendly staff to assist.
Couldn't find any faults at all.

The hotel was conveniently located near transportation and local events, making it easy to explore the city. the staff were friendly and approachable, providing good customer service. the room was a nice size with a comfortable bed and a bath and walk-in shower, providing a pleasant stay.
One issue was with the cleanliness of the room, as the shower needed a good scrub. Another downside was the noise from the street in the evening, which could be bothersome for light sleepers.

Located in the bustling Grassmarket, the hotel has a lively atmosphere and stunning views of a famous landmark. However, the noise from the pubs outside can be bothersome late at night. it's a convenient location for exploring the city and accessing its attractions.
The staff's inconsistency in service and attention to detail can affect guests' satisfaction.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, with rooms that were outstanding and extremely clean. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a beautiful swimming pool, the biggest in the city. The location of the hotel was in a wonderful location right on the gateway to India. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable stay, bending over backwards to accommodate our needs. The breakfast diversity was immense and the staff at the restaurant was friendly.
Nothing it is perfect.

The best aspects of my city break were definitely the cleanliness of the hotel and the superb breakfast selection. the staff were wonderful and always made sure that I was well taken care of.
The worst aspect of my stay was the breakfast experience. the staff did not inform me about the option to order a cooked breakfast from the kitchen, so I assumed it was only a buffet.
