Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Amazing stay. The view of the castle is great and the hotel staff were super nice.Sparkling and still water dispenser on every floor made it easy to stay hydrated.

Staff at the hotel were very hospitable and friendly, the location is really convenient and beautiful as we had a view of the streets below and the imposing Edinburgh Castle. There were a few 'stains' on the bedroom floor but it wasn't too bad. Reason I had to drop a star was because it was so hot, especially in the hallways. And my family didn't think the 2023 summer menu in the restaurant satisfied us as we were used to these foods (we're from south asia), but the staff recommended some great restaurants across the street. Overall the service and location really made this hotel great!

Stunning location with a view of Edinburgh Castle and across the street from a plaza full of great places to eat. Staff at the hotel were SO nice! We were greeted with cute rubber duckies upon arrival.

Very slow booking in system, staff not rude but likewise, not friendly. Breakfast was worth having but you need to book it the night before. Location was very good with excellent views of the castle. The rooms were 'comfortable' but we were surprised there was no aircon. I don't know what they do when you go to reception but whatever you ask takes ages. We added breakfast for the following two mornings and it took nearly 15 minutes and we had to pay in advance, couldn't add it to our room, ridiculous!!!

The hotel is very nice, and the location is great. It is very clean, and would recommend if you like busy areas as it can be a bit noisy at night, as there are many bars located in the square next to the hotel. The benefit of this is that you will get a lovely view. The rooms were very comfortable and clean.The service overall was very good, and although we didn't have breakfast, it looked like it was very well equipped for it.Unfortunately I had a bad experience with reception at time of check-in as we arrived late at night and the service wasn't great. I wasn't able to pay with my preferred card, as the receptionist was having trouble with the card machine. So I didn't have the welcoming experience.Checking out was the opposite, very friendly receptionist, smiling all the time and very helpful.

Great location with room veiw of the famous Edinburgh Castle which is only a 5mins walk. There are a lot of pubs with eating menus on the doorstep, but if you walk to your right, a good few fast food shops to eat out. The swimming,gym & sauna are clean and easily accessible to use. The sauna is well worth paying a visit. Large bar/ dining area just off the main reception which all have friendly Staff. There is parking to the rear of the hotel. Room and bath room are a good size and clean

The hotel is in the middle of everything, walkable distance from all attractions. Great location!! The room was clean, bed was comfortable. Staff was not the greatest, specifically early morning staff. The reason I gave it 3 stars was because once we checked out I realized that I did not get the room I booked. Due to all the excitement and jetlag when we arrived somehow we overlooked that part. So I am greatly disappointed because we paid for superior room with view of the castle and even though we had view of the castle it was not the room advertised on their website.

We enjoyed our stay at the Apex. We are traveling with a group and all arrangements have been completed for us. It is located ideally near the old Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile. The rooms are clean and well organized. There are many plugins for all the electronics that need changing every night. Breakfast was hot, plentiful with an attentive wait staff. My only concern was the bathroom. Very small, sink was at my knees! Tub/shower was difficult to get in and out.

Hotel location is amazing, welcome desk also fantastic, the bar wasn't great and didn't have any food or snack options in the evening, also no room service which felt quite unusual for a hotel like this. Team were very polite though and lovely to have access to a pool
