Wonderful

We are so grateful that we chose to take three day trips to Edinburgh and stay at this hotel while traveling from London. The hotel room was so spacious that we were afraid to return to our much smaller room in London! The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially Natalia at the front desk. She made our stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. We will definitely recommend that our friends visit Edinburgh and stay at the Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel.
We had a great stay here. Booked last minute with our 4 year old and had a great family room with plenty of space for playing and also a bath and a shower. My little boy also got a little activity pack when we checked in which was a lovely touch.
Breakfast was really delicious and had such a good selection. Location was also brilliant. We were lucky to have nice weather and were within walking distance to everything we needed
Hotel is located in an excellent position to explore Edinburgh! Our Room was quiet and a good size and beds comfyBath water temp was not great but shower worked well.
Excellent value for location and amenities. About a 10 min walk from Waverley and key sites, nestled between Castle and university yet still quiet at night (I would enthusiastically recommend for families visiting the university). Room was large and had both a bath and a separate shower, as well as a fridge and kettle. Decor was fresh, good quality bedding. Pool and sauna are at larger sister hotel, but gaining access was straightforward. Reception and housekeeping staff at both hotels were absolutely lovely.

Room good, bed hard and uncomfortable, pillows uncomfortable. Breakfast service on the first day was well below that expected. The kitchen ‘lost’ our first order, which meant they had to take another order 15 minutes after our first. After another 20 minutes (our order was now presumably at the back of the kitchen queue again as people around us who ordered after were getting their breakfasts first) Then 2 out of our 3 breakfasts arrived but not our daughter’s. We weren’t able to wait again for this so she just had cereal. Second day was much better. But they offered to refund breakfast but 4 days later and we’ve not seen this yet…
Pool facilities next door nice, most lockers broken in changing room though.
This hotel is fabulous, it's in a prime position near the 'Golden Mile' and Edinburgh Castle, We used the swimming pool in the apex Grassmarket Hotel, a few mins walk away, love their eco ethos too, friendly staff, could n't fault anything
An excellent hotel, clean, comfortable and brilliantly located just under Edinburgh Castle (with a fabulous view of it too!) in the old town. Staff were friendly, professional and very helpful, especially the wonderful Estel. Also liked they have filtered water fountains on each floor so you can refill your water bottle for free. Can't rcommend this hotel enough, I'll definitely be back.
Thought the hotel room was nice and cozy. Unfortunately they had focused the appeal for the room around a bath which in our room had no running hot water.
