Last time I stayed the Apex it was undergoing major refurbishment to the restaurant, so there was a temporary one set up in a conference room. I only had breakfast there but the service was good. Some dishes a little shaky (the sauce on the eggs Benedict very vinegary) but the full Scottish breakfast was lovely. The bedroom was stylishly... More

With all the tram works (!!) in Edinburgh at the moment, we got horribly lost trying to get to our hotel. We rang the hotel and the concierge very kindly phoned us back on our mobile and talked us through the city. The rooms were clean, decent size bathroom and they serve a nice breakfast. Loved the touch of including... More

This hotel was rather nice. The rooms were a bit small and the full bed was two twins pushed together which was rather uncomfortable. The location is very nice, a short walk to Edinburgh castle and also right next to the Train Station. They had several teas and some cookies for free when you enter the room. Staff was very... More

My fiancé and I had a great stay at the Apex European this week. As other travellers have pointed out, our room was little, but I'm not sure what else you would expect for a semi-budget hotel. It may have been small, but was beautifully decorated, and carried all the little extras that you might need. We stayed 2 nights... More

Chosen for location and price for a business trip. Not the cleanest of rooms, dust on frames etc and bathroom grout atc needed cleaning. Water in fridge nice touch especially as no a/c and windows open only a miniscule amount. The fan provided helps marginally not alot. Beakfast service was slow and only 6 others in restaurant maybe they should... More

Booked two rooms for self and friend for a rugby game. On arrival, the receptionist couldn't find my booking. For some reason, despite booking it myself and paying for it myself, the hotel's booking computer had logged it in friends name. Once initial confusion cleared, we checked in ok. Room was on the small side but was perfectly adequate for... More

Recently stayed here three nights on a girls weekend. Although the hotel is small the rooms were very comfortable. The small touches were really nice - a proper hairdryer supplied for once, Elemis toiletries, LCD TV, steam iron and ironing board. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast selection was very good and well cooked. Staff were very friendly. It is a... More
