"Great stay. We were only there one night but we will definitely be back. Lovely building and the rooms are huge, everything is so carefully thought out. We loved the honesty shop and breakfast, and my daughter loved the little toy area. "
"The staff were all very kind and the food & cocktails in the restaurant were incredible! I was in a junior suite and it was a lovely experience to treat myself to. "
"Stayed for 4 nights with work and enjoyed the new furnishings, the shower was hot and powerful, the bed comfy with plenty of pillows.
Everything you needed for a pleasant stay"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location. Having a pool was a nice bonus. "
"Warm welcome on arrival with a busy reception area. Given all the information we required and offered a reduced price on breakfast which we took advantage of. Free tea and coffee on offer beside reception/bar which was a nice touch. Room was perfect for our needs and contained everything you might require such as hairdryer, iron and ironing board, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The bed was super comfy and the bed linen was crisp, clean and fresh. Towels were super fluffy and the room and hotel in general was very clean. We enjoyed our breakfast with the usual offerings just be aware the room is not very big so you may have to wait for a table . A great stay and will def use again . "
"I have stayed at this hotel twice in the last 12 months, and am never disappointed with the service I get.
Staff will go out of their way to sort any problems you might get.
And for a small fee you can use the gym and the pool."
"We walked to hotel from Waverley Rail station was 30 min walk. Get a taxi if got cases and bags. Lovely walk otherwise to Princes street.
Can walk to town centre by side of river through Leith Gardens. Lovely walk.
Hotel staff were quick to book us in.
room was lovely, big, clean, tea coffee milk biscuits. Shower, hair and soap in bathroom.
Shower curtain was spotlessly clean. Lovely big soft towels.
We were overlooking the river which was nice.
We had a very pretty lounge next to our room.
Staff were very friendly and on hand for any questions or replenishment of room stuff. Didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment on that but smelt lovely when walking through main lobby.
Would recommend this hotel, if able to walk okay but if unsteady on feet you would need to get a taxi ( plenty about) as hotel is down a very steep curvy road from main road to hotel at side of river. "
"Overall was average, but we kind of knew what to expect. Nothing too bad.
The positive was the size of the family room. It was really spacious. Downsides were the bunk beds were next to the lift shaft which was a little noisy and the room had no air con and it was a bit warm."
