Loved staying at Apex City hotel. Staff are all welcoming and friendly. Room was good. Not fancy, but very clean and good. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom is very clean and nice. It was more elegant than the room itself. Area is great. I liked being in grassmarket street and in the old town part. Many restaurants and cafes are close to the hotel for good breakfast or dinner in the evening. Overall, the hotel is very good and I would definitely come back in the future and stay in the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Had a terrible experience with management. Beds and pillows outdated. Zero amenities - you must walk down the street for any. Not worth the price. Much easier to stay outside of old town and take the hop on hop off bus and stay in a decent hotel. I will say the cleaning staff were incredibly friendly and professional. Do not recommend. Edinburgh is a small city full of great hotels - unfortunately this was not it for me.

Everything was great! The only thing I would mention was the bed was quite firm. Everyone has different preferences, but this was verging on slightly uncomfortable. Perhaps if you’re sensitive to this, see if they have other softer mattresses available or if it’s for one night if you can make do. Thanks for everything!
