Top City Art Centre Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed the property especially the pool.enjoyed the nearby restaurants and the fish and chips. Enjoyed the view of the Castle and also Craigmillar Castle nearby. Access to the bus station and train station was an advantage."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Apex always seems good value for money. It is in a very convenient, albeit crowded location, but our room was very comfortable and quiet. Very near all you want to see in Edinburgh. There is a tunnel at bottom floor that gives you an easier access to the train station...much better than fighting the hordes on the main street. Did not use any of their amenities as we were only in the city a short time, but would definitely recommend."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, newer, hotel, excellent Aircon, laundry facilities, small market next to reception for last minute sundries, and TWO WORKING LIFTS! The only con, if I have to give one, is the Murphy bed is a little noisy while trying to sleep. Even though the hotel is located on the Royal Mile, we didn’t find the road noise all that bothersome."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"The room was okay, amenities were good. The hotel is lacking in, no ice container, having. To buy the bottle of water. Another sore point was having to lift our suitcases up approx. 9 stairs to the front desk, then being told there’s another entrance with only 3 stairs. Once checked in, we had quite a few stairs to traverse before we made it to our room. We choose this hotel for the proximity to the Royal Mile. I can honestly say we got our work out everyday!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay there. Unfortunately the lift was out of order but the staff were really helpful in bringing our cases up and down the stairs! Staff were friendly. Atmosphere was great. Would definitely stay there again and have recommended it to other friends and family. Interesting historical background too."
