When staying away all I need is a comfortable bed and pillows that are not like bricks with a reasonably good shower. This I had at the Apex International. On the downside, there was no air con and being in the Grassmarket it was noisy therefore impossible to sleep with the windows open. However, there was a fan in the... More

My friends and I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. The hotel provides free wifi in the rooms and the location is great, a short walk to the royal mile, pick up service from the tour companies, etc. These are its only redeeming qualities. We were in London for six days prior to this so had heavy suitcases and... More

I love this hotel. I stay here regularly on business because of the great location but I love it because of the service, food, and special touches. The view of the castle, especially from the restaurant, is wonderful. The beds are perfect and the rooms modern and very clean. Free wifi, reasonable toiletries, a rubber duck for the bath -... More

We stayed for a couple of nights recently, the welcome was excellent, the staff are friendly and accommodating, we left our luggage to explore the castle for the afternoon. When we checked into our room, it was clean and modern but it looked like it needed a refresh a couple of pieces of furniture were scratched.  The bathroom was clean... More

This was an overnight excursion for us and it was worth every mile we drove and every penny we spent! On arrival our rooms were ready and were comfortable and well appointed. Terrific view from our terrace directly across from the castle (room 4009, I think). It was a quick walk to the Castle and the Royal Mile. Cant imagine... More

The Apex International is in a great location on the Grassmarket. Its a steady walk to the castle, parliament square, the museum and Greyfriars Bobby. There are some good bars and resaturants nearby. Our room wasn't ready so we spent the time with some complimentary drinks at the bar and extra time was added to our checkout. Parking was under... More

Excellent hotel in general. We had a fantastic room at the second floor with view to Grassmarket and the Castle. The beds are amazingly comfortable and the room quite spacious. You have some extras at the room that are always welcome and everything is perfect clean (I still remember the shower gel fragrance, delicious) and if it's true that the... More

Stayed here for three nights in March with my fiancee. Upon arrival we were informed that our room had been upgraded to one with a view of the castle - and what a view it is! Tea & coffee was replenished each day, the beds (yes, there were two double beds!) made and even a packet of jelly beans left... More

our first impression of the hotel was the cleanliness of the entrance area . the greeting and welcome from the reception desk made my wife and i feel very welcome indeed . the friendliness of all your staff we met was second to none . the late evening noise from the street below would indeed be lessened if the window...
