Location was superb. Not too far from the train station and all key tourist attractions are within walking distance. The room was a really good size, the shower was gorgeous and the shampoo, conditioner and similar provisions were of a good quality. The reception staff were friendly and very helpful. Filter water was available in the corridor of our floor and that was welcome

The pillows were too soft for us and the heating system in the room did not work. We were cold the first night but when we informed the reception staff we were provided with an electric heater and all was fine after that. We had to ask reception for milk regularly as there either was none, or a little amount provided in the room.

We stayed for two nights and initially booked breakfast for one morning. However, the discount for pre-ordering and the excellent quality of the first breakfast convinced us to return the next day. Between us, we enjoyed the Full Scottish Breakfast, porridge, the kipper meal, and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. Everything was delicious, and we greatly appreciated the prompt service. We were celebrating my partner’s birthday, and both the desk staff and even the cleaning staff left a thoughtful note to wish her well.

Although a minor detail, the toilet roll was positioned behind the toilet, making it slightly awkward to reach.

The staff were happy, friendly and helpful - they seemed genuinely interested in what we said and helped when asked. Breakfast selection great. Room good size and good to have a bath and an excellent shower. Pleased could open window a little to let air in. Excellent location as on tour bus route and by the castle.

Not a lot to say here - yes would like it a little cheaper, but location by castle, so was fair compared to others. Only odd thing is we had Twin room as mother and daughter travelling together, but beds pushed right together with head board designed that way with plugs and lights - managed to create small gap.

Our stay at the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we checked in, we were greeted with the epitome of luxury. The attention to detail was evident as our room was impeccably cleaned daily, and the thoughtful touch of chocolates added a warm welcome. One of the highlights of our stay was the renovated bathroom, complete with an excellent bathtub that provided the perfect sanctuary after a day of exploring the city. The cleanliness of the rooms further enhanced our comfort and enjoyment throughout our stay. Located in the heart of Edinburgh, the hotel offered the perfect base for exploring the city's sights, nestled in a beautiful neighborhood. The comfort of the bed and the spaciousness of the room ensured a restful night's sleep, while the breathtaking view of the castle added an extra layer of charm to our experience. The breakfast selection was another standout feature, with a nice variety to choose from and the added bonus of food made to order, minimizing waste and ensuring freshness. Overall, our experience at the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel surpassed our expectations. With no negatives to report, we can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a luxurious and unforgettable stay in Edinburgh.

All hotels in the Centre of Edinburgh are (extremely) expensive. We paid around 250 eur per night for 2 persons, one of the most expensive hotels I ever had in my life. But the room was good, clean, very good beds, you could open the window for some fresh air and... view on the castle. Right next door the Grass market with good pubs and restaurants. So compared to others ("pricefighter" Ibis had a comparable price for example) a good choice.

During the night of course drunken British shouting and yelling in and outside the hotel.

The location is perfect, only a short walk from Victoria Street. The room was clean and spacious enough for 2 people and 3 suitcases. Bathroom was big with a tub and a shower. Unfortunately, the car park of the hotel was full, but we were able to park at Apex Grassmarket Hotel which was only a short walk away. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

During the first night we realized that there is a weird smell (like waste water) coming from the bathroom but thought it will disappear on its own. During the second night it got worse, we just closed the door and during check-out we informed the receptionist about it and asked them to take care of it.

Fantastic breakfast with optional haggis and very friendly staff. Hotel is probably one of the best locations in Edinburgh with an amazing view of the castle from our room. Shower was massive with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. Two free drinks provided in the bar as it was a 70th birthday trip were very much appreciated.

A little noisy on a Friday and Saturday night as you are just over the road from a few pubs so if you are a light sleeper you might get disturbed, but was no problem for us

- Great location - right on the grass market, but no noise from the surrounding bars - We were given early access to our room - The room was a very good size and the bathroom was brand new - the bed was very comfortable

- a little pricey - our room wasn't cleaned when we arrived back after 2 pm. We had run a very wet half marathon and had no clean towels and felt we couldn't relax as the cleaning team would be wanting in. - no fridge in the room

Check-in was smooth and easy and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel and rooms are all modern and have everything you need for a stay in Edinburgh. The location was great and walking distance to all the tourist attractions. The hotel is also situated in the Old Town, with beautiful surroundings and architecture. Breakfast was good. Overall we enjoyed our stay

The beds were a bit hard, especially the sofa bed. We still slept well but one area that could be improved.

View of castle Location central Fresh milk option in rooms Toiletries were gorgeous Staff were helpful in all areas Water stations on each floor Rubber duck on arrival in room Chocolates for our anniversary

Pillows far too soft for me. 1 option only at breakfast - I only had 2 poached eggs, husband wanted to have eggs Benedict and try the kipper - was told no! Felt petty when I didn’t have a full choice. But great choice and selection nevertheless.
