Top City Art Centre Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Apex was great. Right in the heart of Edinburgh and easily walkable to the sites. Bars are outside so a little loud late evening but not horrible. Would stay here again."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"No laundry facilities for guest use—only laundry service. Otherwise fabulous! The staff were so friendly and helpful. They allowed us to check in early in the morning, which was a lifesaver because we were wiped out from traveling. They helped us figure out how to use the train station when we were leaving as well. The train station is a stone’s throw from the hotel—very convenient. We loved our stay and would stay here again!"
