Overall a good stay. Staff were all very polite and obliging but the room was so so hot. So hot infact, we avoided the room on our stay even when we might liked to have rested for a no hour or two in amongst walking Edinburgh. There fan a fan, but that was wholly inadequate. The windows, I suspect for safety reasons didn’t open much to get air but of course when the try were a tiny bit open it was very noisy being right in Grassmarket. Breakfast was great….. too hot.

This was a fantastic hotel situated in a prime place for exploring the city. Seeing the castle the moment you step out the front door is a bonus. Staff were really helpful and the rooms were spacious and clean. The addition of a swimming pool meant that there was an extra activity for children while we were away! Would definitely come back

The hotel was very convenient locally wise. We were able to walk to Edinburgh Castle within 15 minutes. It can be a little loud at nighttime after bar hours but that is to be expected being in a busier area. The apartment is older but beautifully decorated and updated. We would definitely come back.

Room was boiling despite it being October. The hotel had put a prehistoric industrial aircon unit in the room that was so loud yet didn’t provide any sort of powerful cooling air, so it was impossible to sleep with it on. The bathroom had a heavy stench of damp and which no amount of deodorant or perfume could hide. Could be much better.

This was my 2nd stay here after 1st stayingvhere in 2022. I came back because the hotel and rooms are lovely, but you can not get a better location right in Grassmarket and with a lovely view of the castle. You walk out the front door into Grassmarket and have tons of pubs, restaurants and shopping within steps of you. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the beds are lovely. The staff were wonderful and helpful. We had a terrible start to our stay as my partner got food poisoning from food at a pub off The Royal Mile and the front desk staff were helpful and caring duringvthis scary time. We had to stay an extra night and they were accomodating and let us have the same roon so we didnt have to move while he rested. When I stay in Edinburgh I will definitely stay at Apex Grassmarket!
