The hotel is in a great location, easy to walk to so many attractions. Our room was great too. Nice and quiet and our son loved the size of the sofa bed. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel as there were so many options within walking distance. Got a taxi from airport to the hotel and back - we pre-booked ours but there were plenty available so I don't think that was necessary. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome

Close to everything, especially the castle. Lots of pubs and eateries over the road. After walking around most of the city centre this is, by far, the best road to base your stay. The hotel was great and very quiet!

We are so grateful that we chose to take three day trips to Edinburgh and stay at this hotel while traveling from London. The hotel room was so spacious that we were afraid to return to our much smaller room in London! The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially Natalia at the front desk. She made our stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. We will definitely recommend that our friends visit Edinburgh and stay at the Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel.

Brilliant Stay

We had a great stay here. Booked last minute with our 4 year old and had a great family room with plenty of space for playing and also a bath and a shower. My little boy also got a little activity pack when we checked in which was a lovely touch. Breakfast was really delicious and had such a good selection. Location was also brilliant. We were lucky to have nice weather and were within walking distance to everything we needed
