Unbeatable location!

Beds were very comfortable. Hotel was clean and quiet at night. Friendly staff. The location is unbeatable, if you want to stay where all the action is. Every attraction is within walking distance, with a plethora of cafes, and restaurants right at your doorstep.

Great hotel, perfect location

Great stay at this hotel. The location can’t be beat with the Edinburgh Castle right outside the windows in the front of the building, and the Grassmarket right outside. The hotel staff were lovely and answered all our questions. The room was comfortable and we very much appreciated the fan as there was no air conditioning (probably not normally needed but it was a very sunny day when we were there and the room got a bit toasty!)

6/10 Good

2 night stay as a couple at the Apex City.

We arrived early & were able to leave our bags so we didn’t need to keep them with us. We returned later in the afternoon to check in. The reception was quite busy & 2 members of staff were serving customers. The third was just busy at her computer. After a few minutes I was called over & she apologised for the wait, said she had struggled to get logged on. Check in was easy & quick. Hot our room let’s & 2 vouchers for a free drink - but you need to walk down to the Apex Grassmarket to use them a few doors down. We went to our room & we are unsure if something had been mistakenly left in the room as there was a plugged in machine that was on making a loud noise. It had options for ionising air so unsure if it was to replace the ac? However it was not pleasant and made it difficult to breathe, so we unplugged it & opened windows to air the place out. The room was ok other than this. Nice view of the castle. We were out each day so didn’t spend much time there other than 2 sleep. It had tea / coffee making facilities, but 1 pack of 2 biscuits much to my husbands dismay. Breakfast was downstairs and met with friendly staff who took our order for the hot meal - continental stuff was buffet style. The first morning we sat on the raised area & it was chilly with a draft from the ac, second morning we were at the bottom & it was fine. We’ve stayed at both Apex hotels on the grassmarket, great location - however I’d chose the grassmarket over the city as the restaurant is much nicer!
