"Very clean apartment with great amenities and in the perfect location (walking distance to everything). Loved that there was a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer on the second floor, the room was very clean, and the staff answered my call on the first ring when I had trouble with the keypad. The place is a super close walk to the Airlink 100 airport bus stop but is a little difficult to find at first since there are no overhead signs. Great stay overall and highly recommend for a few days in...

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"ok"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location with an excellent castle view and modern, comfortable rooms. The windows were well soundproofed from outside noise, but there was noticeable noise within the hotel from slamming doors and limited soundproofing between rooms. I did lose power on my last morning, which was frustrating, but the hotel did offer some compensation for the inconvenience. Overall, a solid stay with a few minor drawbacks."
