Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

The hotel is lovely, the location is perfect. We had a view of Edinburgh Castle from our room and as the hotel is located in the Grassmarket, we had access to an array of bars and restaurants. The bonus was a market on the Saturday which had lots of stalls with hand made items and food. The hotel is modern and clean, the rooms are a good size and they provide robes and slippers as well as a little rubber duck, which I will add to my collection :) The bed was very comfortable, there was a safe, a fridge, ironing board and iron, tea and coffee making facilities. The hand/body wash and hand cream were of a lovely quality and smelled great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We asked for extra pillows and they magically appeared in our room. We only stayed one night, but would definitely go back again. The only little blip was at breakfast the following morning. We ordered a full Scottish Breakfast which took about 40 mins to arrive and the coffee machine decided not to work so we were delayed and missed the check out time. The staff were very apologetic and made sure we could get back into our room in order to check out. This is why I didn't rate this hotel as 'Excellent' but 'Good', but I'm sure this was a one-off and would not put us off staying here again. Overall, very impressed with this hotel

We stayed for two nights and initially booked breakfast for one morning. However, the discount for pre-ordering and the excellent quality of the first breakfast convinced us to return the next day. Between us, we enjoyed the Full Scottish Breakfast, porridge, the kipper meal, and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. Everything was delicious, and we greatly appreciated the prompt service. We were celebrating my partner’s birthday, and both the desk staff and even the cleaning staff left a thoughtful note to wish her well.

The staff were happy, friendly and helpful - they seemed genuinely interested in what we said and helped when asked. Breakfast selection great. Room good size and good to have a bath and an excellent shower. Pleased could open window a little to let air in. Excellent location as on tour bus route and by the castle.

Our stay at the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we checked in, we were greeted with the epitome of luxury. The attention to detail was evident as our room was impeccably cleaned daily, and the thoughtful touch of chocolates added a warm welcome. One of the highlights of our stay was the renovated bathroom, complete with an excellent bathtub that provided the perfect sanctuary after a day of exploring the city. The cleanliness of the rooms further enhanced our comfort and enjoyment throughout our stay. Located in the heart of Edinburgh, the hotel offered the perfect base for exploring the city's sights, nestled in a beautiful neighborhood. The comfort of the bed and the spaciousness of the room ensured a restful night's sleep, while the breathtaking view of the castle added an extra layer of charm to our experience. The breakfast selection was another standout feature, with a nice variety to choose from and the added bonus of food made to order, minimizing waste and ensuring freshness. Overall, our experience at the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel surpassed our expectations. With no negatives to report, we can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a luxurious and unforgettable stay in Edinburgh.

Everything was great: the stuff was lovely and attentive, breakfast is simple and has everything essential, rooms are clean and have enough space.
