We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. We got an upgrade to their 'Superior' room, which is spacious. It has a comfortable bed, a real big bathroom with both a bath tub and a walk-in shower. The new styed shower head (in the form of a rod with several holes) is a bit unusual but functioning. The bath... More

Extremely friendly staff. Warm welcome from the staff at reception. Location is very good, The hotel is close to the centre of Edinburgh. The room was very clean. View from the room was less but then you don't spend much time there during the day.

Location wise, its right next to Princes street and 5-10 mins walk from the Royal Mile - Fantastic location We got the car parked outside the hotel... More

Great staff. great bar, great snacks, great beds, great spa.. How could a hotel at the end of Princes St. be quiet? It was..except for a wedding function downstairs on Sunday night on the floor below us with the base thumping out until almost 12 pm... But hey, it's a hotel, not a Buddhist retreat ;-). The staff,young friendly and... More

Boutique hotel with very friendly staff, walking distance to old town. I was extremely pleased with our two day stay in Edinburgh. The Apex is located just a few minutes walk, when you exit from the rear of the train station, or about 1/3 of a mile if you exit from the front of the train station. The hotel is... More

As a short honeymoon trip, my husband and I booked our stay here. Unfortunately, we were placed on the floor where the entrance to the lobby is and the room was directly next to the staff room. We could hear the staff going in and out of the room at all hours. We checked out the sauna, steam room, and... More

Stayed for 1 night in May 2013. Great room and location but best of all was the service. After checking out and leaving our suitcases (no problem at all) we returned soaking (Scottish weather) and were given keys to the spa and told we could use all the facilities to freshen up. Suitcases were then taken back and stored and... More
