Apex Grassmarket Hotel
Great hotel in an amazing location. Rooms were good, but very hot & if you opened the windows could get a little noisy at night due to its central location. Would definitely stay again.

A quirky hotel. Friendly staff, comfortable modern room. Really good breakfast. Great location in the old town. The lounge area at the Eve restaurant was comfortable for a glass of wine and we even observed the pasta making group which looked very interesting! We shall definately be back!

Couldn’t be happier with our stay. The team were all fantastic, especially Zoe, and our room upgrade made my birthday weekend so special. Lovely hotel, and the spa was small, but great!
