The hotel is in an excellent location in Grassmarket just below the castle, and surrounded by bars and restaurants - maybe a little noisy at night if you like the window open, but we didn't find it a problem on the fourth floor. Rooms were decent size and well appointed, I particularly liked the walk-in shower separate from the bath.... More

I stayed here for 4 days in April 2013 for a course at the Sick Hospital for Children. Very enjoyable experience and excellent location. I would also like to specifically thank Magda for being so caring and kind during my stay. I look forward to to staying here again in the future.

The Apex City has a great location in Grassmarket, near many tourist attractions and restaurants. The hotel is contemporary in style with sleek furnishings and fittings. Our room was clean and quiet, but the bed and pillows were too soft for our liking. There was a large wardrobe but no dresser or draw space. The front desk staff was very... More

My wife and I stayed 1 night on May 9th. We took the opportunity to upgrade to a junior suite at the promotional rate of £40. Overall, we thought the rate for room and breakfast in a central location was very good. It also included a £10 complimentary voucher. I was irritated by a small wait to check in while... More

The staff was really friendly and helpful. They gave us a room with a view of the castle. We have been to better hotels but apex city was good considering it is a 4* hotel and we paid 75£ for 1 night.

I stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it.Right in the heart of the city in the old town.Good restaurants nearby and some fantastic vintage shops too. The Sandy Bells pub is an experience not to be missed, live folk music , just the place to try famous malts and whiskies.
