Apex Grassmarket Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Two windows facing Grassmarket do not close, the street noise lasted till 3am. Stand lamp does not work. Sleepers had to be requested and paid. Not enough US charging ports. The floor cracks when walking on it. "

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Great location and value. Very clean and super accommodating staff, but very few amenities. We asked to move rooms because the halls were very loud, walls were thin. We were moved to another building that took a solid five minute internal walk to get to but it was very quiet. NO amenities for standard room. No fridge or water. No smart tvs. Beds were ok. Kind of stiff but not awful. Overall I'm not sure I would stay again but given the price of most other Edinburgh hotels maybe I would."
