"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was ideal. Room was clean. Shower had mold. Needs attention. A little noisy on the street side and doors to the rooms nearby slam loudly."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"Good location near the Royal Mile and all the sites, restaurants etc. Awkward for checking in as there is no parking at the hotel if you are driving yourself.. would appeal to a younger crowd with a lively bar attached. Staff was accommodating and very helpful."

"Loved this hotel! The location was perfect for our adventure. Right across from the Scott monument, a few minutes walk from the Waverly bus stop and a few minutes from the Royal mile. We didn’t have any views personally, but the rooms were clean and exactly as advertised. Breakfast options were delicious. Would definitely recommend!"
