They allowed us to store our bags for a small fee so that we could explore Edinburgh without toting our bags around. Not a bad place!"

Beds a little flat and water not drinkable due to old pipes but for the price very reasonable and safe. Staff offered to keep our luggage in foyer while we were at the sites, really appreciated the friendly and helpful insights."

Top Edinburgh and Lothian Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really loved this hotel due to its proximity to all the main areas and the views to the castle were incredible. Try to get a 4th or 5th floor room and an odd number for the best views of Edinburgh Castle. Restaurants were on the street below and plenty of choices. Keep in mind there is no a/c but that’s common. Staff was excellent and room was cleaned each day. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back."
