I loved everything about this place. The room was nice and clean. The only thing I didn't like was the food in the dinning area. I had a quick and fast check out and staff was very friendly.

Had a fantastic stay at Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect – just a short walk to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Breakfast was great for a decent price. Particularly loved the sustainable Belu water station. Would definitely stay here again! 🌟
