Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the location on Grassmarket Square with easy walking to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The desk staff were friendly and helpful. The room was well appointed and the bed and pillows were very comfy. Housekeeping kept everything tidy. Having access to a filtered water machine was greatly appreciated and the in room espresso machine was great. We had a small lounge area outside our room where we could relax and watch the world walk by below."

"Wonderful stay here... near Haymarket station, but a bit uphill. Front desk staff was so nice and helpful. Thought of stuff before I could think of it. The room was great. A bit noisy since I left the windows open, but I liked hearing the cars and people. Edinburgh castle was about a 15 minute walk and the Royal mile is near the castle. Nice lounge/breakfast area. I didn't eat the breakfast... not a morning person. Single room was a bit small, but VERY comfortable."

"This hotel surpassed our expectations. Yes we slept in an old cell but that just gave it character. Emerson and Faith were extremely helpful. You can't beat the location as you walk out the door and in a minute you are on the Royal Mile. We had no idea it would be this convenient. It was a wonderful last night before heading back to the USA."

"The first night of our stay was absolutely miserable. When we complained about our horrible room staff immediately turned on us. We spoke with the night manager the next morning and he was the only staff truly sincere about helping us while the other staff continued to be rude. We truly thank him for relaying the problems to the correct people and resolving the situation."

"Having a kettle in the room was great. We realize every room can't have a fridge and microwave but access to these would be helpful as the hotel is a bit of a walk from a grocer and shops. Details about having no housekeeping were not explained to us on arrival so we did not know we could get more coffee, towels etc. It was close to a bus route,"
