We had room-only accommodation. However, the couple of times we had breakfast, it was very good with plenty of options.

Apex Grassmarket Hotel
Staff was extremely helpful, and we loved our view! Having a room with a terrace meant we had a smaller room which proved to be pretty tiny. Some nice amenities and good breakfast. Incredible location, so close to everything we wanted to do.

Room was old, small, fire detector falling off ceiling, towel heating bar bad location and can burn yourself coming out of tiny shower. incredible view, pictures in booking were not even close to what the actual room looked like - bath and switch.
