Stayed for two nights. Good location for sightseeing. Overall the stay was great. All the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very good and we dined the two nights we stayed at the Heights Restaurant. The chef spoke to me about my allergies and even did a lovely pudding for me. They have a great selection of gluten... More

This was our second stay at this hotel, and it definitely did not disappoint! The location could pose an issue if you are a light sleeper as it is opposite the grass market which has bars/restaurants. Although the hotel did provide ear plugs in the room. I would def advise a room on the front, as you get the fantastic... More

I stayed for 2 nights at this hotel while visiting Edinburgh. The location in the grassmarket is great for visitors looking to explore the city and in particular the old town area of Edinburgh. There are a number of good pubs and restaurants close by to choose from which is very convenient. The hotel has a modern look and feel... More

We stayed at the Apex International Hotel for 3 nights in May. The hotel was ideal; the staff helpful and friendly, the room clean, excellent Wifi service, and the breakfasts were very good. But what really makes this hotel great is its location, as everything is so easily accessible from the hotel.

Stayed here through Gents Events for my Cousin's stag do, sharing a room with my half brother. First thing we noticed was the amazing view. Room was around £110 for one night which was excessive considering the room was fairly average, along with cleanliness. Never really took notice of the ear plugs but realised they are there for a purpose... More

Visited the Hotel for a Family Funeral and stayed the night of 6th June. Cannot praise the staff enough for the service they provided, they are an asset to the hotel, it is just a shame I did not get their names to name them personally.

Firstly, this hotel is smack bang in the centre of Edinburgh, quite wonderful, absolutely no need for a car/bus/taxi. We took along our granddaughter on this trip and we booked for 3 accordingly. On arrival, we were greeted at reception and took the elevator to our room. Large would probably be an understatement - it was plentiful and then some.... More

Location is absolutely perfect. Everything is in walking distance. Great views from restaurant and street side rooms. Rooms are very nice and well equipped. Free wifi. Spa is also nice plus. It is free to use as well as very small gym.

I booked the Apex International mainly for the location on Grassmarket - we were only in town for 2 days and didn't want to have to use transportation to get to the main sites. The location could not be beat. We even had a room with a direct view of the castle, which was amazing. The street noise was a... More

I have stayed at the Apex International twice for business and would be happy to return for business or leisure. The hotel has an amazing location on Edinburgh’s Grassmarket and is in easy reach of the Old Town, Royal Mile, the castle and, of course, all of the fantastic restaurants on Grassmarket itself. The hotel reception is nice and the... More
