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.

We stayed at Apex Grassmarket Hotel for one night, and it was a good base for exploring Edinburgh. The location is excellent, with beautiful views overlooking Grassmarket and Edinburgh Castle. It’s within easy walking distance of cafés, restaurants, shops, and many of the city’s main attractions, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The room itself was very basic with two beds—comfortable enough for a short stay but nothing particularly memorable or luxurious. One challenge during our visit was that there was no air conditioning or fans. We happened to be there during an unusually warm spell, and the room became extremely hot, which made it difficult to get comfortable. The hotel has a bar on site, but there wasn’t breakfast or dinner available during our stay. There are plenty of nearby restaurants, though, so this wasn’t a major issue. Drinking water is available from a refill station in the hallway, which was convenient. Overall, if you’re looking for a hotel with a fantastic location and great views, Apex Grassmarket is a solid choice. Just be aware that the rooms are fairly basic, and if you’re visiting during warmer weather, the lack of air conditioning may affect your comfort.

Overall the property is good. Very convenient area for touring the city. Good restaurant in hotel for eating. Our only complaint is that a room facing the front of the hotel is really loud till like 3am. This wouldn’t be a huge problem if the rooms had AC and you could close the windows to dilute the noise but our stay was a bit warmer and needed windows open and therefore for a family with telephone kids it was too loud. Hotel was very accommodating and moved us to rear facing room and didn’t hear a peep for last part or stay. Very much appreciated

The breakfast was great. They had Greek style yogurt, which I really like, and they had nice fruit and pastries, and an also a menu that you could order from with great porridge and waffles. The staff was very helpful and they were always to be found in the hallway. My room was very, very clean and I always had cookies waiting by my coffee pot. :-) The only negative thing I can say is they did not have outlets on both sides of the bed only on one side, but other than that everything was perfect. It had a bathtub and a shower and a fan was in our room before we got there. This is a great place to stay. The location is fabulous.

Came for the weekend as friends were attending the Critical Role event in the castle. Room was spacious, clean, inviting and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows are horrendously soft and give no support whatsoever. We had a fan in the room, but it was not very effective and it would’ve been much better if there was aircon in the room. Breakfast was lovely but a bit pricey at £17.50 each.

Overall service and quality were excellent! Breakfast buffet was well maintained and plentiful. Would recommend ordering from menu though for best quality. Room was spotless, bathroom cleaned daily, towels were oversized and plentiful. Only issue with entire stay would be the lack of ventilation. Upon arrival temps in the upper 70s(F) small table fan and open windows without screens only option for comfort. Little noisy in the mornings with open windows.Rooms and hallways were stuffy as a result of higher temperatures- but assuming that hotel cannot control global warming! Bottom line, staff was attentive and friendly, location was incredible, breakfast was delicious and rooms were comfortable outside of temperature.

While I would recommend the Apex Grassmarket due to it's outstanding location and helpful staff, I was a tad disappointed in this stay from a quality point of view. First of all, the entry to the hotel from the street is tough with baggage. Several stairs and no porters or staff to assist you. I understand it is much better coming from the car park. Also, there is no AC in the rooms, which wasn't an issue since the weather was so cool and you can open the balcony window, but the curtains in our room fell down (the staff was quite responsive and put them back quickly, but not to the point where we felt like we could touch them again. So, we were unable to close them at night, which meant the room was loud from the street noise and very bright when the sun arose at 4 a.m., the water pressure was basically non-existent in the shower, the soap dispenser was broken...just little annoyances that need to be addressed. The staff was great, everything was clean, and the location is OUTSTANDING. So if some attention to detail happens, I think this can be a winning hotel again.
