Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

Great location, right below the castle, and our room had a direct view of it. Very convenient for getting around. The hotel thoughtfully provided little rubber duckies and a coloring book for the kids.

I chose the Apex hotel for my trip to Edinburgh this time. It felt quite new and the rooms were considered large for the UK. I was traveling with my parents, so we opted for a family room. The sofa bed was already set up for us in advance and was also quite spacious. The breakfast was a mix of buffet and à la carte. Each person could order one dish, and the three of us chose different options. They all tasted pretty good, and even though it was a Western-style breakfast, it was very filling. The location is on Princes Street, which made getting around super convenient.

An absolutely wonderful hotel! The location is superb, within walking distance to all attractions, and dining options nearby are incredibly convenient. Everyone was so welcoming, and it was a lovely surprise to find towel animals (cows!) on our bed every day when we returned. I also really loved the little duck souvenir from the hotel, it's a great memento! This will definitely be my go-to hotel next time I visit Edinburgh.

The hygiene, much like the surrounding environment, wasn't very clean. The location was decent though.

No air conditioning and only a tiny crack in the window, so it was incredibly hot. However, they did give us two toy ducks and the cleaning service was excellent.
