Apex Grassmarket Hotel

4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1593)
"Apex made my first time visit in Edinburgh a wonderful one. It was an excellent experience. It is nearby tourist destinations and endless dining options. The hotel itself offers various amenities. If only my itineraries allowed me to use them all. They also proactively asked needs that they may not have initially included in my room. The option to do it online makes it really convenient for me. I will definitely use their services again when I go back and visit Edinburgh again."

"Very good staff. They made us aware of the breakfast special (which was a good deal!), and would have arranged for a late check-out but instead we checked our bags. There was a little bleed-through noise from neighbors, and the beds were firm."

Motel One Edinburgh - Royal

3.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1005)
"The hotel room was a bit spartan, but the bed was comfortable enough, it was clean, and the basics all covered. The location is amazing though. Right by Waverley Station, perfect for buses to the airport, taxi rank very close. I can easily see myself staying there again. The only issue was the bedroom was overly hot and the window wouldn’t open sufficiently to ventilate it as much as I’d have liked. The price was very good as well."
