Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, next to Princes Street and rail station, uphill walk to Royal Mile and Old Town so need to be fit! Hotel has excellent facilities, including pool and gym. Breakfast freshly prepared and buffet options. Staff very friendly and helpful. Enjoyable 4 days."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great. They had Greek style yogurt, which I really like, and they had nice fruit and pastries, and an also a menu that you could order from with great porridge and waffles. The staff was very helpful and they were always to be found in the hallway. My room was very, very clean and I always had cookies waiting by my coffee pot. :-) The only negative thing I can say is they did not have outlets on both sides of the bed only on one side, but other than that everything was perfect. It had a bathtub and a shower and a fan was in our room before we got there. This is a great place to stay. The location is fabulous."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel that has all the necessary amenities to make a trip pleasant. We stayed 7 nights and it was the best decision we made to book here. Blackout curtains in the room were such a nice feature and the bathrooms and showers were top notch. The location is perfect and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We look forward to our next stay with Apex 💯"
