Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The location is perfect, right in the middle of everything. You can walk everywhere. The hotel is nice, they have a gym and a pool but we didn’t use them. Breakfast is good. Our room was very spacious but a bit hot- outside was chilly but the windows open very little so they had a fan. Staff is very friendly, and nice."
