Apex Grassmarket Hotel
The family rooms have a phenomenal view of the castle, they are a good size & over all they are clean. They appear to have a little mold problem in the windows & bathroom, and the rooms could use a little touch up. The staff is friendly & there is parking on-site which is a plus.

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection
Room was old, small, fire detector falling off ceiling, towel heating bar bad location and can burn yourself coming out of tiny shower. incredible view, pictures in booking were not even close to what the actual room looked like - bath and switch.

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Amazing location and great rooms! Love the pods system so you can get some private space and not disturb others as much. Looked like they had fun activities and a good vibe but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check them out. The location right in Old Town cannot be beat!
