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.

My stay at the Apex was excellent. The staff were helpful and have me a free upgrade to a castle view room. The property is clean, safe, well maintained and located in a great spot. The nightlife across the street can be a little loud and rowdy later at night but it wasn’t bad. All in all I was very pleased.
