Apex Grassmarket Hotel
The family rooms have a phenomenal view of the castle, they are a good size & over all they are clean. They appear to have a little mold problem in the windows & bathroom, and the rooms could use a little touch up. The staff is friendly & there is parking on-site which is a plus.
