Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved the aparthotels concept. We were in a. two bedroom and it was a proper apartment with a full living room and kitchen. It took us a day or so to get the temperature right. The property is in the Grassmarket neighborhood and a 15 minute walk from the Edinburgh Castle end of the Royal Mile. Breakfast was extra, choice of cold buffet or hot and cold buffet. "

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was exceptional - we didn’t take the breakfast option as we had an early flight to catch so opted to skip it. The room was lovely clean & spacious / we were celebrating our anniversary and had the surprise of a lovely Xmas duck to keep. It really was a lovely stay / we enjoyed the spa facility after a busy day exploring the Xmas markets and surrounding areas. I shall be returning in the new year - everyone was truly welcoming & helpful - top marks all round - thank you "
