"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was wonderful... and the staff, even better! Great location! Would certainly stay here again in the future. My only complaint would be that the room felt a bit warm. I searched the room for a thermostat or way to adjust the temperature, but found nothing. Maybe I just didn't know where to look... haha! But my husband and I were able to crack the window to let in some cooler air. Also, there was a fan provided in the room."
