"Across street from train station which was excellent"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Excellent Stay at Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel** I had a wonderful experience at Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel. The hotel is in an excellent location, very close to everything—major attractions like Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, restaurants, and shopping areas are all within easy walking distance. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a relaxing space after a full day of sightseeing. The staff were very friendly, professional, and always ready to help, which made the stay even more pleasant. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience with great service, great comfort, and a perfect location. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Edinburgh and would be happy to stay here again."

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

8/10 Good

"Check in and check out good. Staff friendly. Good breakfast. Safe and secure location right by castle and close to everything. Only issue was bed was against wall and one of us had to climb over to get in /out. Be sure to check the configuration of the bed if this could be an issue for you. so it's is not Otherwise very comfortable and good stay"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Room clean I got the sense staff whilst helpful were reactive rather than pro. The pillows were possibly the worse I’ve ever slept on cheap and well used, I did ask for mattress toppers. None here so asked for extra duvet for my friend. I asked for more pillows.. hairdryer broken towel rail burning window latch dodgy and corridor switch falling apart. Breakfast like restaurant and bar were good For £800 for 3 nights I think a little more pro activity is needed. This may be cheap for Edinburgh but I expected better room.. view was a crane ! ( felt room was for us cheaper folk)!"
