CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Clean and welcoming room. Did not eat there but they did have a lot of daily activities that were included. Did the Beer Tasting and Taste of Scotland and they were amazing!

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
All the staff were excellent, extremely good service. The location is great, it's closed to most of the attraction in the city centre. I would highly recommend this hotel to those who are planning to go to Edinburgh.
