Top Scottish Gems Hotel Reviews

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Spacious room and very quiet even though it is right by the bars in Grassmarket. Only problem was that the room was stifling hot and it wasn't until our last day that a staff member clearly communicated how to use the heating system. We had called down to o the front desk twice with concerns about the heat. Some written instructions for guests would be helpful "

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, well situated. Good breakfast, felt a little rushed when bringing out the hot choice (I’d only just got myself some cereal) We ate at the restaurant in the evening, good food, substantial portions, average price for the area. Nice swimming pool, very quiet first thing in the morning. Helpful, friendly staff, we spoke to the cleaners each day & reception staff, all very cheerful & pleasant. I’ve already recommended the hotel & would return ourselves."
