"I had a very nice stay at the Open Arms Hotel. The staff were very welcoming and made me feel at home. The room was first class with a view over the village green and very comfortable. The lounge area with the open fire is lovely and relaxing being able to have a pre- dinner drink and review the menu. It was a very enjoyable stay and will definitely be returning again in the very near future."

"We loved this hotel!!! My mother and I took a long overdue vacation to Scotland and this hotel came up as being close to Edinburgh. It is on a bus line (the X7) to downtown Edinburgh and the stop is literally across the street from the hotel! Convenient if you have luggage. The bus ride is about 40 minutes to Edinburgh so easy if you want to head there. I’d recommend exploring the East Linton area though. It’s a beautiful area with walking paths and restaurants. The hotel has a pub and...

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good
"Clean room; but noisy with street level late night noise of people yelling on a Thursday night even with windows closed & drapes drawn. We were placed on 2nd floor & noise carried up; waking us up including my light sleeper spouse at 1am. 2 maintenance issues: The shower door leaked out water to the bathroom floor- found the plastic door stripping was in need of replacement which was peeling off. The room drapes appeared ready to fall off the rod- difficult to close/open as these are 10 feet high drapes."
