Very strategic, clean rooms with beautiful views at the front of the grassmarket. The receptionist's name is Sara, she was very helpful to me. I really enjoyed staying here, for me, I'm a halal traveler. I really recommend this place. Near this hotel there is a Zaza cafe, you have to try it.

My experience of staying at Apex was very pleasant. The hotel is strategically close to the city center. In front of the hotel there are lots of restaurants and cafes, many right and left mini-markets that all look pretty similar in medieval times. And the most beautiful, when opening a hotel room window immediately visible Edinburgh Castle. Clean hotel rooms and complete facilities. Plus the breakfast menu is very tasty and varied.

Excellent hotel in a very good location. Some rooms have amazing views of the castle. We’ve just completed our second stay, have a third booked for January 27 and are planning a summer 27 stay too

Very nice hotel in the heart of Grassmarket. It’s noisy during the Fringe Festival but so is the whole area. Would stay there again and I am next week.

The room was dated but functional. I noticed carpet torn behind the chair. Also missed the part about no A/C. Muggy in the room with only an oscillating fan. Window had to be open so heard some noise from that. I wouldn’t rent in summer months due to that. Also, steps coming into hotel made it challenging to transport luggage. Breakfast was plentiful and excellent. Location is great and easy to get around town from this location. Overall it worked, but some of the finer details were missing.

The room was mostly clean and well kept, although compact. Tea and instant coffee provided. Room was refreshed every day, fresh towels etc. We were on the 5th floor and had the most beautiful view of the castle and were treated to the sounds and sights of the Military Tattoo by night. Staff were fine, working in Edinburgh in August obviously takes its toll! One mature gentleman, in a blue shirt was hugely friendly and went above and beyond for us during our stay. The pool was compact but okay, nice little sauna too. A good way to unwind after a day exploring the city. We really enjoyed the nearby cafes and bars. So didn’t make use of the restaurant or bar in the hotel. Our stay was very expensive, to be expected in Edinburgh in August.

The location of the hotel was perfect. The view of the castle from our room was breathtaking. The hotel was the staff could not have been nicer. We had breakfast (buffet) - it was delish. I would recommend upgrading to a room with a castle view - it is 100% worth it. Looking forward to going back to Scotland - will absolutely stay at this location again.

Great location below the castle in scotland. Staff was extremely helpful. The only thing is they don't have air conditioning. So if it's very hot you have to pull the fan out. Not a big deal but just to let you know.

Stayed for a quick transit night between Isle of Skye and an early airport trip. Unfortunately the night was rather warm and the hotel does not have air conditioning, so it was a bit warm. Luckily our room faced the back and the windows could be opened without too much noise intrusion (the hotel also supplied portable fans). The pool area was a bit run down, but the beds were relatively comfortable, storage was good and the shower pressure was decent. Fine for a short stay.

We stayed at the Apex Grassmarket for three nights and it was a great hotel! The location can't be beat, the grassmarket has lots of places to eat, drink, shop (you are right by victoria street!) so there is always something going on. There was even a little market when we were there, loved it. It can get loud, so if you are a light sleeper that might be something to consider. It didn't bother us (we actually liked it - we heard snow patrol playing at the castle one night!) but something to note! The room was large and comfortable, lots of tea/coffee and cookies over the stay as well. We would definitely stay again!

Parking was tight but always available, which was important to us. The hotel is right in the heart of Grassmarket, which is convenient, but also noisy and busy. The biggest issue wasn't the amenities, but the heat...probably not an issue most of the year, but certainly in this hot July. Only one of our windows opened (about 4 inches). The hotel staff tried to help with a fan and water cooler, however.

No A/C. I had a balcony and was told to leave the balcony door open for air, however not only are all balconies attached to each other but no way to leave the door open without it banging all night back and forth from the wind. Then they charged me for eating late dinner which I never did and I was told they would remove because it’s an error. When I got home they sent an email that I forgot to pay and my card would be charged. Lastly cleaning of my room didn’t happen all day until about 5pm so I had to just ask for clean towels instead of them coming. They cleaned my room once in 5 days. The only good thing with this hotel is the location and views of the castle

From checking in to checking out everything went smooth. Loved the free water station to fill the included carafe. Allister at the service desk gave me wonderful recommendations. Location is perfect to explore the sights of the old town. Walkable to the new town as well. Directly next door is a cafe for coffee and breakfast. No AC but two fans provided and windows open kept the room cool. Definitely would stay here again.
