10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location walkable to all the major sites. Staff is amazing as is everybody in Scotland. Room had a king size bed and fantastic bedding, but the room was a bit small. We stayed on the ninth floor one below the top and could hear when people flushed the toilet above us with the water running through the pipes. So I would request a room on the top floor. Eat their restaurant, and that two was phenomenal and reasonably priced."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location close to everything, including plenty of cafes, restaurants and small shops. Quiet room, with a couple of small glitches. I found the pillows too hard, and this would be a tough bathroom for two people to share. There wasn’t anywhere to hang a hand towel and not enough shelf space for two. But I’d go back. "

"We loved our stay. It’s basic, beds were comfortable and shower was great. Huge breakfast options included in our stay and was cheap! Bus right out the front but a taxi service was available through the front desk. £8 to the heart of Edinburgh. But can be walked in about 35 mins. Will definitely stay here again "
