"A lovely hotel, well situated in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. But while that's a good thing overall, it has a slight downside in that the area is quite busy and noisy . . . may be hard to sleep. Be sure you ask for a room NOT overlooking the Castle . . . I know, I know, that's a huge part of the appeal, but you'll thank me at bedtime! But on balance, a fine choice for your Edinburgh stay."

"Perfect location for Castle, with steep steps or steep uphill walk to get to it. Car park big advantage but get there early as got full by 3pm on day I went. You can use the other Apex hotel car park a very short distance down on the street. Very helpful and friendly staff on reception and at breakfast. Twin room a good size but not massive, bathroom has separate shower and bath which is so much better than shower in bath. All cleaned to high standard. Usual kettle tea and coffee with milk in fridge Breakfast discount available on the day and 2 free drinks vouchers given which was appreciated. One of the best buffet breakfasts I have had and could order from a breakfast menu as well so you should never go hungry. Excellent value for money in a busy city hotel"
