I stayed here for 4 days in April 2013 for a course at the Sick Hospital for Children. Very enjoyable experience and excellent location. I would also like to specifically thank Magda for being so caring and kind during my stay. I look forward to to staying here again in the future.

The Apex City has a great location in Grassmarket, near many tourist attractions and restaurants. The hotel is contemporary in style with sleek furnishings and fittings. Our room was clean and quiet, but the bed and pillows were too soft for our liking. There was a large wardrobe but no dresser or draw space. The front desk staff was very... More

My wife and I stayed 1 night on May 9th. We took the opportunity to upgrade to a junior suite at the promotional rate of £40. Overall, we thought the rate for room and breakfast in a central location was very good. It also included a £10 complimentary voucher. I was irritated by a small wait to check in while... More

The staff was really friendly and helpful. They gave us a room with a view of the castle. We have been to better hotels but apex city was good considering it is a 4* hotel and we paid 75£ for 1 night.

The hotel is in a great location just opposite to pubs and bars of Grass market but we never heard any noise from them. With the rest of central Edinburgh in easy walking distance. On arrival the reception staff were very helpful and had a room ready for us (even though we were early). The car park is also a... More

The hotel is in an excellent location for pubs, restaurants and attractions. The standard rooms are clean but relatively small in comparison to other hotel in the area that I have stayed at. Bed was very very comfortable and the view from my room was of the Castle, so no complaints there. Breakfast is excellent quality and table service. Staff... More

I stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it.Right in the heart of the city in the old town.Good restaurants nearby and some fantastic vintage shops too. The Sandy Bells pub is an experience not to be missed, live folk music , just the place to try famous malts and whiskies.

Initially made advance booking (to save money) mid-march but had to postpone due to family problems. Hotel booking service very helpful in making a later booking for minimum additional cost. Stayed in a second floor suite with great view of castle. Room was large and very well appointed (with two large TVs, one of which was HD). Wife loved the... More

We stayed at this hotel back in 2008 and loved it so we were excited to return. Unfortunately, it's not as great as we remember it being. I think it just comes with the average wear and tear of a hotel, really. We had a big crack in the ceiling, the grout in the bathroom looked dirty but I think... More
