Had a long weekend here in February for my partners birthday. Upon arrival we were a few hours early but thought to double check the room wasn't ready. The lady at the desk called the cleaners and asked, and we were told that our room would be ready at 1 (an hour earlier than standard check in). We were happy... More

Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to review the Apex City Hotel. I am pleased that you found your room clean and the hotel well located, however I was disappointed to read that that your meal with us was below your expectations.

We had a 2 day stay during a Rugby weekend, everything was first class, one small problem with our evening meal but this was quickly resolved! First class staff, the wee waitress in the bar did a sterling job! Especially with the abuse she got from one very rude customer!! We'll be back!! More

Just stayed at the Apex for a short break. The staff recognised our wishes for a quiet room (The Grassmarket can get noisy on a Friday and Saturday night) and gave us a back facing room on the top 4th floor, not a great view but very quiet. Front facing rooms will have a great view over the castle but... More

This hotel is perfect for a short break in Edinburgh as it is situated in the heart of Grassmarket, with it's fine array of bars and restaurants, within a short walk of Edinburgh castle and all the main attractions and just a further short hop to Princes street, Edinburgh's main shopping area.

The rooms are a great size, nicely decorated with comfy bed (not comfy pillows though!), big plasma tv, air con & wet room shower. Our room had... More

We have stayed in a few different hotels in Edinburgh and without a doubt we would return to the Apex City everytime in the future. We went just before christmas to take advantage of a fantastic offer on the room rates and as we had stayed there before I knew the breakfast was amazing so paid for this in advance.... More
