Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel in a great location. The free water refill station was a nice surprise and the pool in the sister hotel next door can be used for free and has castle views. The only potential point of improvement for me: The mattress was a bit too hard for me as a side sleeper."
