Apex City Hotel Edinburgh - Edinburgas

Stayed at the Apex City for 3 nights, this was our second visit to Edinburgh but the first to this hotel. The Apex City is situated in the Grassmarket area of the city, with fantastic views of the castle which are stunning especially at night. Just outside the hotel are located some excellent local pubs, most serving food and most with live music each evening. Completely enjoyed our trip would use this area again for another stay.

Great location if you aren't driving. The city center is undergoing extensive road construction.

My Son and I stayed in the Apex City Hotel last weekend. We were both impressed. The beds were so comfy it was like a home from home. After a hard day and night of sightseeing (and ghost seeing) it was perfect. The staff were very helpful with information and were very pleasant. I would reccomend this hotel to anyone going to Edinbrough as the location was excellent also. A very enjoyable stay. I will be back.

Very clean, helpful staff, perfect location, right in old town.

The grassmarket square was buzzing a real busy place and lots of outdoor eating it for us was a perfect location

The hotel has a 1970's feel about it and the social space on the ground floor is quite limited. The bar didn't stock non-alcoholic beers and didn't seem that fussed about doing anything about it. £13.50 for a cooked breakfast seems pricy but if you only want a cup of tea and a bowl of cereal they will still charge you £10 which is outrageous. However our room was extremely comfortable and very quiet. There were tea making facilities but it took us a couple of days to find them - would have been nice if this had been mentioned when we checked in. For the Festival, the location is fantastic. Yes I'd go back but I think I'll take my own breakfast!

This hotel was overall beautiful. While our particular view was to a parking lot, the views from the hallway windows, where they have lounges set up, are stunning. The location, in a word, amazing. Easy walk to everything you could imagine in Edinburgh. The size of the room was the best we'd had in our 14 day adventure to Scotland. I'd say, minus the unannounced fire drill our first day and the unannounced water maintenance which entailed shutting off all water for the entirity of one morning, the hotel was chic, clean and very beautiful.

We stayed in the Apex City Edinburgh and were delighted with the choice. We got a suite on the top floor with a fantastic view of the castle. The accommodation was top class with a large king size bed and huge bathroom. The location was excellent as it was close to the castle, great shops, pubs and restaurants, in fact we seemed to be at the heart of everything, the city was just electric. As previously promised from other reviews the rubber duck, pringles and jelly beans were a delight. The staff were fantastic and the service was great.

Lovely hotel, would stay again and recommend to anyone.

This is probably the best located hotel for the tourist as it is a very easy walk to all the sites. I had a full view of the Castle from my room which was nice to see as I went to sleep. I almost booked the Apex Waterloo in New Town but am glad I stayed here instead as you are right on Grassmarket, and less than 10 minute walk to Princes Street, 5 minutes to the Castle/High Street, less than 10 minutes to the Meadows. If you are a Rankin fan seemingly all the bodies in his books are a few blocks from here! The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars are the toiletries weren't properly stocked (inconsistent room from room, I had to ask for a shower cap etc), the towels smelled a bit like disenfectant- they need to use a fabric softener or something, and the wireless was glacial. But service was very good at front desk and at the cafe during breakfast (I was never there for any other meals). I would especially recommend this hotel if its your first time to the city for the great location.

welcome was great at front desk. room was amazing. good for a visit too edinburgh .central location .tour bus stop 1min walk from hotel /bars and places too eat across from the hotel so great hotel in great location

Although a non-smoking room, it obviously had a history of being smoked in. The restaurant was a little overpriced but everything else was a good value. Incredible location next to the castle and Royal Mile. Definitely recommended.

Fresh, modern decor; helpful front-desk staff; decent restaurant: definitely exceeded our expectations during a four-day, three-night visit. The only negative is that most of the Old Town attractions--the Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, etc.--require a steep but short climb, which can be made by stairs or by street. I didn't find this a bother, but older or disabled guests might.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Initally our room was lovely but the "queen sized bed" was actually two singles pushed together. The staff were very helpful in sorting this and ended up upgrading us. The hotel was clean and modern and the rooms very comfortable, and well equipped with lovely views of the castle and close to all attractions. Although it is central there was no problem with noise even on a friday night with the window open. We would definately stay here again and reccomend it.

Both the Apex City and the Apex European are a good choice for Edinburgh. The Apex European is not in the centre like the Apex City

I went in summer and found that the hotel hasn't had any air conditional. The beds did not match even some three stars hotel that I frequently stay in. The hotel did have a car park but have a charge of £8 per day but once you moved your car out you will have to repay the £8 even in the same day. In short it does not match the expectation of a 4 stars hotel.

Great location, with a beautiful view of the Edinburgh Castle. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were well serviced and furnished with lovely courtesy treats to keep the night warm and going.

I really liked this hotel, the room was lovely, on the top floor with a view of the castle, and the staff were generally friendly and helpfull. There was quite a lot of noise on Saturday night due to it's proximity to some of the pubs, and the lack of air conditioning requiring the windows to be open.

The hotel was very clean and the rooms were very nice. The building is a former dormitory that has been converted into a hotel. You would never know this based on the decor, with one exception - the bathroom floor still looks like a dormitory bathroom tiled floor. The staff was nice and helpful, the location was perfect. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Staff took great care of us.Did not eat in rest. because too busy walking around city. great places close by. Parking iffy but able to find lace close by and once on street across from hotel Will stay again

This hotel is very nicely situated. It is in a neighborhood with great restaurants and only 5 minutes away from Castlehill. Our bed was extremely comfortable and the room well furnished and clean. However we couldn't seem to adjust the room temperature which was warm and the hot water in the shower never got beyond warm. The staff was courteous but not overly helpful. For example, they provided maps and offered a wake up call but did not have suggestions for best sights to see. They did tell us the best short cut up to the High Street though which saved us time every day.

I booked this hotel for a leisure trip for my sister and myself. We enjoy walking so this hotel was perfectly placed for us to get around and explore the attractions and sights. It was a stones throw from the castle. Local pubs and restaurants were excellent.

Very comfortable little hotel in the Edinburgh Grassmarket area, within 5m walking distance to Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile and Grayfriars Church. Hotel serves breakfasts in their restaurant but there are several other taverns, pizza stores and restaurants nearby to try local cuisine. The air-conditioning wasn't working but you can open the window for a nice strong breeze to come in. No in-room mini-bar or in-room safe, but otherwise nice clean room and bed, clean modern bathroom with separate shower and bath. Good size room.

Great Hotel.Room smallish but we did book the basic room.It was well equiped and nicely furnished.Breakfast was very good.If you book this hotel ask for a room towards the back unless you dont mind noise.Grassmarket has a lot of pubs outside the hotel and it can be rowdy.

This hotel is located in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is close to shopping and just a few blocks away from the train station. Lots of nice restaurants nearby too. Very clean and conveniently located.

My brother and I stayed here on a recent trip to Edinburgh. The room was a decent size and was very quiet, but he was disappointed that there was no refrigerator. Also, we had a view of the parking lot in the back - not terrible but I would have preferred something with a view of the castle!! Service from the front desk was entirely dependent on who was there - some of them were fantastic, others just average. The location of the hotel is great - we could walk to everything we wanted to and since it was off of the main streets, very quiet.

This hotel has one of the BEST locations in Edinburgh, the neighborhood is wonderful, the view of the castle is amazing and the stairway to the Royal Mile is most convenient. Our room was great for the deal we got from hotels.com. The staff however would be my only complaint. The front desk staff had a tendency to be somewhat unfriendly from the moment we checked in to answering any questions about getting around in the city. All in all for the price we paid I was satisfied for our three night stay.

Absolutely ideal. We were there on business, but it's great for just about whatever reason you have for going to Edinburgh. Location is perfect and hotel is great. Highly recommended.

This is a very good hotel in a great location in a wonderful city! We were there for 10 days and were satisfied with the service, the room, the cleaning staff and the helpfulness of the staff. This is not a luxury hotel, but we were amazed at how nice the room was for the price that we paid!

Hotel staff were helpful room was nice and comfortable the only bad side to this was dirty voiles at the windows

We spent 10 nights in Edinburgh and were very satisfied with this hotel. The bed was comfortable, there was water and coffee and tea in the room, and the staff were nice. The location of this hotel is it's biggest selling point. The hotel is near the castle, the High Street and many bars and restaurants. The only complaint that we have is that one day, when we decided to eat the continental breakfast, almost all the food was gone. It was annoying but the staff took the charge off the bill as soon as I complained. However, since the hotel is near so many good places to grab food, we never ate at the hotel again during our stay. We did get room service once and that was reasonably priced and was delivered very quickly. Overall, it was a great hotel.

This hotel shared parking space with a hotel down the street and since both hotels had many rooms and clients with cars, the 55 parking spaces weren't enough leaving clients to try to find parking on the street where possible.

I can only rave about the Apex hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly and gave great recommendations about where to eat. The room was comfortable and well decorated. The location of the Apex is the best part... located minutes from great food and the Castle I could get around Edinburgh and then back to my hotel easily!

I usually stay at the Caledonia Hilton. The Apex City Hotel was as good as the 2x priced Caledonia Hilton. As well the Apex location is far superior to the Hilton’s. There was no parking at the City Hotel. The guest is required to park down the street at the sister hotel and walk back. At 8.50 pounds per day the parking was reasonable - spaces were limited though.

Looks new, very clean, modern hotel but in the heart of the Old Town, helpful staff, comfortable, perfect location and inexpensive. Overall, a great value!

great location. but was not impressed with hotel. very basic, resturant had very limited menu although food was good.

The Apex staff was very hospitable. I arrived early and was allowed to check in without waiting. Even though my room did not have a "castle view" it was extremely comfortable and nicely decorated. One cannot beat the location of this hotel if visiting the University of Edinburgh or the numerous tourist attractions. Wireless service in the hotel rooms and the additional computer lab at the end of my hall was a welcomed sight.

This is the second time we have visited this hotel and will definitely be returning on any future trips to Edinburgh. Rooms are comfy & spacious. Staff are all very helpful and polite. The leisure facilities and restaurants available at the sister hotel are also excellent.

Comfy bed. Nice staff. Lovely breakfast choice. Free internet access. Free swimming pool and steam room at hotel next door. Good location walking distance to Castle, Princes Street, Camera obscura, Museums and Art Gallery, Royal Mile etc. Beware however that Old Centre of Edinburgh is quite hilly so sensible shoes are advisable.

You can't beat the location. It is walking distance from the Royal Mile and historic pubs. Plenty of places to eat and explore. If you ask in the lobby they have suggestions for tours. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a mix up on one of our rooms and we were upgraded as a result with no extra charge. Not very good TV reception but dvd player in room. Who wants to watch TV in Edinburgh anyway? Could have been cleaner.

it was right on a busy nightlife street and walking distance from everything. Plus they had free internet access on the first floor for guests. Very convenient. Just FYI..It can be noisy on Friday and Saturday nights when the bars close. But i didn't mind since I was partying too.

The hotel is situated in the grassmarket in Edinburgh, its a 5 minute walk to either Princes St or the royal mile and the grassmarket area is full of pubs and restaurents. When we arrived at the hotel it was at 7 in the mornin and the room they checked us was very small, but the next day without prompting from myself they offerred to move us to another room, which was spacious and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here on my next visit to Edinburgh.

We arrived on an early flight so we were glad when the hotel took in our bags at 9am leaving us to start our city break immediately. After returning to check in at 2pm we found the room impeccably clean and comfortable. We had no occasion to trouble the staff and our weekend concluded with no negative reports.

The Apex city hotel is an ideal base for a weekend in Edinburgh. Located in the Grassmarket it is in the heart of a wide selection of pubs, bars and restaurants, (and we didn't encounter any noise in our room). It is a stones throw from the castle, albeit a very steep one, and a walk of about 5 mins takes you to the tourism heart of the Royal mile and ten minutes to the train station and Princes Street. The hotel was spotlessley clean and very modern. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. Rooms had everything you needed including a nice tea tray and hairdryer. We paid extra to have the breakfast which was not included in our tariff and we were pleased we did, a great selection of cereals, breads, pastries, fruit, yogurts and drinks followed by a hot scottish breakfast cooked to order, well worth the money and set us up for the day. Overall a 10/10 for the Apex city hotel, we'd definately return and we'd take our cossies next time as you can use the spa facilities in the sister hotel two doors down.

Great "modern" hotel on the old "Grassmarket" where public hangings used to take place. Front rooms have view of Edinburgh Castle, but I didn't get one for the discount price I got. The other Apex Hotel next door (International) has probably been more recently renovated, but this one is still in good shape. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Perfect location near the Royal Mile and the Castle.
