Apex International Hotel - Edinburgas

We arrived early and were greeted warmly, staff going out their way to meet all our needs. Had kids with us and didnt feel like we were unwelcome due to business men etc also using hotel. facilities were great. overall a memorable experience!

Would definately return to this hotel. I stayed overnight last week with two friends from England and they were totally impressed with the view of edinburgh castle from the room window, this was their first visit to Edinburgh and they promised to return but only if staying at the apex international as the service from the staff and comfort of the rooms and hotel location was perfect, Cant wait for my next away day and this time I will make time to use the gym and pool.

A group of six of us recently went to Edinburgh for a weekend, and genuinely can't wait to go back. From the minute we arrived, we found the staff very helpful and efficient. In particular, the doorman of the hotel who we met on our first night there, was very helpful and entertaining! Would definitely go back to Edinburgh and the Apex International too!

What a great hotel and location. We was in room 5025 our view was of the castle which was amazing.The room was very clean and kept upto. This hotel is great for all ages me and my boyfriend are both in our early 20's. The reception staff are very friendly which is great because other hotels are not welcoming of young couples. Would go again to this hotel any day! Food is also great!

Fantastic location, right in the heart of Edinburgh. The view of the castle at breakfast was spectacular. There was a very noisy wedding going on when we arrived but I was impressed that we could hear none of it from our room. Very comfortable room, nicely appointed, but horrifically HOT.

This hotel is centrally located and in a brilliant location for visiting everything. When we arrived we were upgraded to an executive room which had a terrace with table and chairs along with an amazing view of Edinburgh Castle. The room itself was nicely decorated, clean and modern with a huge bed which was really comfy. Great value and I would defo go back.

Stayed 1 night - arrived early and went to see the sites, hotel texted us to say that our room was ready for check in, they had held our bag as well. Reception excellent. Rooms very Spacious New Build Hotel not really in keeping with Surrounds but very clean. All in All a good Hotel.

room very spacious with robe and slippers view of castle marvellous no t much waiting for lifts good service in both restaurants tho no gordons gin

very pleased with our choice of Apex Int, the location perfect for exploring the old town. very comfortable and the concierges very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here last week for 5 nights. Great hotel and am returning next month. Room was boiling though, as was the corridor on the 3rd floor. Need to have the window open at all times! Staff are friendly and helpful and place is spotless. Enjoyed the pool also. Would recommend to anybody going to Edinburgh. Just get ready for wafts of heat every time you step out of the elevator...

we booked via internet, we were coming to edinbrough to see duran duran, it was easy to find, and from first going through the doors the service eect was first class, the room was stunning, the pool was fantastic, everything was done for us, and the staff were great, we will definatly stay again, thankyou

This was the first time I'd stayed at the Apex International, and followed a new expenses policy at work banning stays in 5 star hotels. There were a few points against Apex, the rooms weren't particularly stylish, and while mine was large, the presence of a second double bed (in a room for one person!) made free space pretty limited. Having said that though, the bed was comfortable, feather pillows were provided without needing to request them (almost unheard of), and the staff were charming. The location on the Grassmarket was central without being noisy - something hotels on the royal mile can't claim - and within a few metres of interesting shops and well priced cafes selling lovely food. It means that instead of being on yet another business trip, staying in yet another anonymous hotel, one can actually see some of Edinburgh even when free time is limited.

had a great overnight stay,found the staff very friendly and most helpfull,looking forward to returning soon.

The Apex Internationla is simply a fantastic place to stay. The staff were so friendly and efficient and went out of there way to make our stay enjoyable! The rooms were extremely comfortable and despite being located in lively Grassmarket were pleasantly quiet. The breakfast room located on the 5th floor gives stunning views of Edinburgh castle... and the food was extremely tasty! It is the perfect location to view all the main attractions the city has to offer and I will definitely be coming back!

Room really nice with a good view of the Castle. Hotel is in a good central location and would definately stay again.

Great PLACE TO STAY..WONDERFUL STAFF..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...

Awesome hotel with an awesome view of Edinburgh Castle! Very clean, modern and spacious.

this is a nice hotel, staff on reception were very helpful and I had no major problems execept our bathroom,s plumbing was not up to scratch. However the brill location of this property more than made up for this problem. Breakfast is very good if not a little expensive but staff there go out of their way to accomodate your needs.

Excellent hotel/facilities/customer service & brilliant location (opposite the magnificient Edinburgh castle). Also, great attention to detail - bath robes, biscuits, jelly beans & pringles, tv & dvd player, ironing board...without a doubt, I'm already looking forward to my next visit!!! Brilliant!

I booked this hotel for a girly weekend, i had heard many stags and hens stay here , so was not expecting to much of the hotel - just a bit of craic. The hotel was fantastic, extremely modern, really clean, lovely touches in the room, robes, slippers, pringles, bisuits. I have been to Edinburgh twice now and i would definitely go back to this hotel. The only downfall was the breakfast, we had this 1 morning, but we did book it last minute, the service was appauling and the food was not too good either. otherwise the whole stay was extremely enjoyable!

Great staff, nice hotel, a little noisy in the room in the evening but to be expected...

Great location for hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and clean . The only fault we found was the lighting, especially in the bathrom! Would recommend this hotel to friends.

An excellant Hotel in an excellant location. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the Hotel was modern, clean and well equipment. We will use this hotel. I do however have a couple of gripes. The car oark is inadequate for the size of the hotel. We arrived at 11.30am to find a small rear car park open also to the public. and thus no spaces. We had to park in the Grassmarket at £2 per hour then return 4 hours later to see if there were any spaces. The room was lovely but the pillows are unbelievably soft and the room very warm. The street was noisy but not that bad, but with the other two problems, i didnt get a good sleep. Overall, id recommend this establishment

Stayed for several nights at the Apex International. The room was clean, nice bed linens were changed daily. Families are obviously encouraged, and there was pin-pong and Wii available in a lobby area for kids (heavily used). Breakfast in the fifth floor dining room was good, though there are numerous cafes nearby where breakfast can also be had for a more reasonable price (try Elephant House on George IV bridge, across from the National Library- also the "home" of Harry Potter if you have kids in tow)). Dinner in the restaurant was superb. The location is fantastic, the staff was courteous. The shower in my room could use an updating, and a light in the shower would improve things. Internet service was annoying, since you have to log on to an external service, and it seemed quite unreliable. I was bumped off about every half hour, and it was difficult to connect often. However, if you aren't in Edinburgh to work, you probably don't care.

Modern, good value and great location. Only negatives were the staff struggled at breakfast vs. the no. of people they had to serve. Our bathroom leaked across the floor when showering and there were two exposed nails on the floor. But I would go back, especially for the 5th floor breakfast view of the castle

We booked the Hotel never having heard of Apex Hotels.Got a nice surprise when we got there,pleasant staff on reception who made us feel welcome right away and a great location to see the sights of Edinburgh.Room was ready when we arrived at about 2pm and at the front of the Hotel on Grassmarket which is a main street.We expected it to be noisy but the road noise was minimal, a lovely view of the Castle from a room that was clean and well maintained throughout.Pool and leisure facilities are first class.

great places to see 'great shops there'great nitelife had a ball travelled with my friend from brazil very impressed with hotel to nitelife

stayed here for valentines weekend was really nice. lovely place and staff lots of things to do to around the aera. really nice restraunt in george street called gusto would def recommened.

I stayed in the Apex Hotel in February, the hotel was lovely, the staff were pleasant. My room was cleaned every day, the room itself was warm and nicely decorated. They room service was not expensive, alos you could order a dvd if you liked which I thought was a nice touch. The location was great, there are quite a lot of pubs nearby, yet it wasn't noisy. Within walking distance to castle and all the main attractions. The pool was lovely and clean, everything looked modern and clean, nothing was shabby. I would definitly reccomend staying here.

Comfortable and modern hotel in a great location. However, it's also one of the main hotels in Edinburgh for hen and stag parties, which seem to happen every weekend. We were put into a room right over the restaurant which turns into a 'nightclub' until 1 am. At check in nobody asked us if we were part of the party or not. If I had known, I would have asked for a room on the fourth floor! I did just that by 12.30 when the noise just got too much, both downstairs and in the corridor. Night manager was very apologetic and efficient and moved us instantly. I recommend the hotel fro comfort but be aware of probable noise! Also, the square in front of the hotel is full of pubs which seem to go late into the night, with people spilling out of them at all hours. If you don't mind some screaming and shouting, then it's a perfect place. Fantastic location, good restaurants around, great pubs and a short walk to the Royal Mile.

This hotel is a fantastic choice for a weekend break, its right in the centre of Grassmarket, which is where all the pubs are so its only a walk away. The grassmarket area really comes alive at night and is great fun. Even though the hotel is in the centre of the pubs it was still very quite and sleep was not disturbed! It also has a lovely, although small, swiming pool and gym. But its all you need for a relaxing stay!! And not too expensive either. I thoroughly recomend it, 5 stars!!!

The hotel was really clean . The staff very friendly and helpful . The location was perect.

Very impressive location within the heart of the old town. Rooms were very clean and we had a clear view of the Castle which was very impressive. Staff very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh for business or pleasure.

Had a 4 night stay,Had a very plesant experience, Staff were very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Because I had a few trips to New York previously I was equipped with ear plugs so as noise at night time was not a problem. Overall a very plesant experience.

Great hotel. View from the room amazing. Directly opposite the castle. Ideal location for the quiter side of town and the royal mile. If your looking for an inexpensive restaurant , look no further than mamma's restaurant opposite the hotel. Great pizza's and pasta dishes at reasonable prices. A little cramped and frantic but worth it.

Hotel was in a great location right next to the castle. the rooms were big with 2 double beds. really clean aswell and the staff were lovely. would definately stay again

The hotel was fantastically located, tough to find a better location. No need for public transport given location close to castle, royal mile etc. Hotel was very modern and was a great look and seemed to have it all, and room was great size and very clean, but have to say the beds were probably most uncomfortable out there. In a joke from tired travel I fell back onto the bed and was shocked to feel a metal rod strike my back! very little padding as you can tell! And sleeping on them was not much better! Walls were paper thin and could hear outside very easily so not a 'romantic hotel' if thats what you are going for. decent given location and price, but could have been much better...

This was a lovely hotel, the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The location was excellent, minutes from the Royal Mile and there was plenty of nice restaurants and lively pubs and bars in the vacinity. I would definitley stay here again.

Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Very close to Royale Mile.

Was upgraded to a deluxe room after I explained I needed a fridge for insulin - the room was lovely, bed soft and comfortable and the view! Looking up to the beautiful Edinburgh Castle all lit up. Plenty of toiletries available in the room. Swimming pool and sauna were great - the pool is stainless steel - it was quite weird to look at it - wasn't sure if there was water in there at all! Changing rooms were clean, towels and shampoos provided. Didn't try the restaurants or bar but they looked good.

Excellent, clean hotel. Very easily accessible. Within walking distance of everything, great view of the castle, and located on a cute little square. Very helpful staff. Definitely recommended for leisure travel.

good location and brilliant veiw of the castle friendly staff and lovely pool and sauna even a nintendo wii for the kids and a cool free rubber duck.

has a lovely stay at the Apex International. Only down point was we couldn't access some areas of the hotel as there were private functions on so never got to see the view from the heights restaurant.

Friendly staff but the Hotel failed to inform that it holds late wedding receptions and the music continued onto 1am. No availability of alternative rooms. Area for smokers is closed off at 11pm forcing smokers to congregate outside thje main entrance which opens them to drunken revellers in the busy neighbourhood. The bedroom window did not seal properly and therefore there considerable noise from the outside.

limited parking facilities . staff friendly and efficient room a tad small but nice and modern with huge shower. restaurant on top floor overlooks the castle but sqeeky doors on kitchen and our full breakfast was a bit dry where it had been under the heat lamps for too long. Close to all te atractions and shops and the best restaurants . A few steps away really. If you want a city centre hotel at a discount this hotel is for you but remeber this is central edinburgh and we stayed on a saturday where a wedding was in progress to the early hours of the morning!

I took my girlfriend here for 2 nights for her birthday and absolutely loved it. The hotel was faultless, the staff were very friendly and the hotel was very clean. The leisure facilities were also very good. We never ate at the hotel so cannot comment on the food although the restraunts looked nice. The location was also great with pubs and restraunts on the door step and great views of the castle.

Good location within Scotland for tourist destinations, although admittedly a little noisy. It's a difficult decision as to whether to go for the rooms at the back with less noise, or to have one at the front with a view of the castle. If you're looking for a no-frills, good standard and convenient hotel for a reasonable price, then this is the one for you.

This hotel is very well situated for a visit to Edinburgh, just away from Princess Street. Around the hotel are bars and resteraunts along with basic shops, and its just a walk to the castle and other attractions. The hotel staff are friendly and the rooms of excellent quality. The bar and restaurant in this hotel are ok, and the breakfast is good too.
