One night stay all staff very knowledgeable and professional. I ordered the birthday package which was presented beautifully in the room and the pool and sauna area was lovely. Breakfast was served beautifully and the view from our hotel window was amazing. Will definitely stay here again.

Room was a good size. Asked for shower as pregnant. Given accessible room with wet room. Lots of water all over the bathroom after showering. Pool ok size and was out of order on last day. A bit disappointing as we picked this hotel for pool facilities. Sauna was still working but didn't use. Food was very good at breakfast and dinner. Had 2 free drinks to use at the bar. Good location in centre of Edinburgh. Parking at the back of the hotel for £20/day. For the price, facilities a bit disappointing but the staff were all excellent.

Employees were very friendly and helpful. Nice and comfy room. Good shower. Loved the biscuits with the tea in the room and excellent breakfast. Great location too. No air conditioning but came in winter.

We had an excellent stay here. Staff were fantastic and so approachable. We had breakfast one morning which was fine. Great room service options. View from our first floor room was fantastic. We had a birthday package included which was great.

Castle view. Friendly staff. Comfortable Pool onsite

My only complaint was that the beds were uncomfortable and this seems to be how all beds are in hotels across Europe. Other than that, great hotel!

The hotel looks a little dated from the approach but once you enter the inside looks high quality and definitely a touch above your typical chain hotel. We were based on the first floor in a superior room with a balcony. We were not disappointed and loved the extra touches like the duck, hand cream and earplugs. Our only complaints which we reported to reception was a broken coffee table which collapsed with us placing a rucksack on top and the lack of a seal on the shower door which let water spill over the floor. The positives outweighed the few negatives and we were delighted with our direct view of the castle and the vibrant Grassmarket area which bustled with activity. The hotel is in a great location convenient to many attractions and eateries or to use the hop on hop off bus. The bigger and popular eating places are within a fifteen minute walk and Victoria Street leading to the Royal Mile are just ten minutes away (we used this route rather than take the many steps which give a more direct access). Check in was friendly and helpful although a little long winded when after a long journey all we wanted was to get to our room to freshen up. Check out again was helpful with available bag storage although the queue was long albeit with three receptionists but that’s due to the overwhelming popularity of this hotel. We used Tesco Clubcard points to pay for our room and feel we a had a super deal. Would recommend and return again.

Perfect location for tourist sights. Close to good restaurant and bars, book ahead as always busy. Rooms do not have acoustic glazing so even with windows shut you still get the morning noice of builders and rubbish trucks etc also no A/C so you would need windows open in summer and this would make outside noice worse. Would still stay again.

We had a lovely few days at the Apex Grassmarket, perfect hotel and location for a city break in Edinburgh right in the heart of the town close to the castle, bars, pubs, restaurants, sightseeing and more!

Bathroom wasn’t very well cleaned. Nice big sized room. Nice decor. Carpet has bleach spots all over it. No milk for coffee - you have to ring reception for some, but didn’t get a reply!

AMAZING castle view from our room. A little noisy as people leaving bars at night, but they provide ear plugs.

Average city centre hotel with modern-ish facilities and courteous staff. Decent size room with a good view of the castle. However, the room was unbearably hot and there was no air conditioning to turn down or regulate the temperature. This was in October in Edinburgh (it wasn't hot) so really shouldn't be an issue. There was a small electric fan provided in the room but it was noisy and ineffective. Got absolutely no sleep whatsoever as a result of the high temperature and this really ruined our trip to the city. Would definitely not stay here again.

Excellent - EXCEPT - hotel needs to put in accessible ramps.
