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

Well thought out lay out of room and bathroom. Both breakfast and the restaurant staff really pleasant. Reception staff really helpful, particularly Nathalia who went above and beyond to help when Storm Floris resulted in our return train being cancelled

The location is very centrally located. I was concerned with noise due to the proximity, but it was not an issue. The staff were kind and the rooms were bigger than expected. Overall, the experience was good.

The location was superb - close to the Royal Mile, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was also great, the hotel gives an opportunity to select one special hot meal in addition to "normal" breakfast choices.

Breakfast was delicious. We both had a cooked breakfast. I asked if I could have my Eggs Benedict on sourdough rather than muffins which was no problem at all. There were plenty fluffy white towels, ironing board & iron. The bed was very comfortable & cosy.
