Overnight business Edinburgh
Modern hotel, located in a good position for the City, the bar restaurant was closed, so had to walk down to larger Sister hotel situated 5 mins away, the swimming pool is also located at this separate hotel. I was unaware that the hotel offered its own parking, until I arrived, which was too late as I’d parked 10 mins away at an NCP car park, which turned out to be very expensive! This hotel needs to add the car parking facility onto the Hotels.com app, so that customers are aware.

Always a great stay
This is our fourth one-week stay at Apex City of Edinburgh and it won't be our last. The staff were able to quickly and easily handle a minor issue we had and our stay was great, as usual. We'll be back, for sure.

This is a great hotel for parents with children but super tight when the couch bed is pulled out but when it returns to a couch it is wonderful. Located just across from shops, pubs, restaurants and Victoria Street. Very comfortable

Would recommend to everyone
This hotel was everything I could have asked for. The family room was spacious and adequate for our stay. The room offered hot drinks and biscuits. Water tap on every floor and a large jug in the room which is complimentary. 5 minute walk up some stairs and you are at the castle and the top of the royal mile. Also the hop on hop off bus tour bus stop is opposite the hotel.

Fab hotel
Room was great and had lots of space. Clean towels everyday and a little welcome gift of an Apex signature duck. Was nice to come back to the hotel after a busy day, to find mulled wine and mince pies for guests to help their selves to. The grass market area is lovely and close to most attractions. The staff were friendly and catered to our needs. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice spot to stay in
Lovely hotel in the lower heart of the city. Little bit of a walk to get to but on a street with loads of restaurants and bars. Actually quite quiet not a lot of outside noise. The restaurant in the hotel was only serving breakfast which we didn't have. But I'm sure when its fully functioning will be great

Fantastic hotel, location and staff.
I have no complaints at all regarding this hotel. The location was perfect for us in relation to the activities we had planned plus we like 'old town' areas and this certainly met the bill. If anything the restaurant wasn't open and apparently this has been the case since Covid. The location meant this was not a problem as there are plenty of places to go for a drink or a meal. We would definitely return to this hotel.
