Apex International

Four nights only in this Hotel<,very good,clean room,great view of the Castle.Helpful staff.

Hotel well located basic price does not include breakfast or car parking - which makes a 2 night stay a little expensive Staff were pleasant but uninformed so we had a few wasted journeys to their restaurant which was unavailable in the evening and generally was not informed as to where to get breakfast, how to use wi fi etc and kept waiting at reception desk due to again bad management.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very nice and had an excellent view of the castle and the Grassmarket. Room service was reasonably priced and the food was very good. We could not have asked for a better location, we could walk everywhere we needed to go. The pool was a nice way to relax and the sauna was wonderful. The only improvement I could suggest was for them to add a resident laundry room. I was there for 2 weeks and would have liked to have washed a load of clothing. The hotel has laundry service but it was too expensive. Bottom line, I would stay here again without hesitation.

Edinburgh is a great and varied city, plenty to see and do, and Apex International was an excellent hotel, a very helpful staff member on concierge duty during our stay, went above and beyond, could not fault anything.

very good stay, the room is clean, staff is very friendly, there are lots of good pubs to eat and listen to life music around. really enjoyed our stay! hotel swimming-pool helps to relax in the evening after a long day of sightseeing.

My mom and I stayed here for a night while visiting Edinburgh. Once we got there after a bit of searching around, we were pleased to find such a welcoming staff and great rooms. It was comfortable, modern and quiet. We would stay again!

The Apex International was a very nice place to stay in Edinburgh. Great view of Edinburgh Castle. Close to everything. Room was clean, quaint and quiet. Hotel restaurants had nice views but food was nothing special and way over priced. Plenty of better or at least equal options for far less money all up and down he street. We ordered room service one night. It was something very simple, a pizza and an order of fish and chips. They brought us a pizza and chips. When we told them there wasn't any fish, the guy said " oh, ok I'll take that off the bill so you don't pay for it". However, we ordered that because we wanted it and it took 3 phone calls for them to figure out that we didn't want it taken off the bill, rather, we wanted the fish. So, I had to wait for my wife's meal to finally arrive and I ate a cold pizza. They did nothing to compensate for this. Beyond this, I have nothing but good things to say about Apex International.

If you are coming from a warm country to this hotel, be sure to bring your own space heater & electric blanket. The rooms have no heat source. The "hot" water is lukewarm at best, and the rooms are extremely outdated. The hallways are dark, and unsafe. The staff throughout the hotel are rude and stuck up, and don't give a hoot about your well being. Front desk does not answer your calls. There is no soundproofing to block the noise outside. Bring your ear plugs if you're planning on sleeping at night, as there is a lot of loud noise from the drunks screaming, and the police cars wailing all night. Do yourself a favour, and look elsewhere.....

We spent four nights over Christmas in the Apex International. We arrived to the pleasant surprise that we had been upgraded to a room with a stunning view of the castle. It was located in my favourite area of the city, the Grassmarket and the small touches like fluffy bathrobes and jelly beans made our room feel really welcoming. I would undoubtedly recommend this hotel.

we left two spoons in the bathroom of the hotel on Day 2 of a 4-day stay. we had not had room service and these spoons looked nothing like the hotels -- we brought them from home. they were missing when we returned to our room. I reported it immediately to the front desk and said I presumed the maid picked them up by mistake and that they were in the kitchen. the next morning (Day 3), I discussed with the head of the cleaning staff on the floor. the maid was off that day and no one could fine these. i even showed her a picture of these spoons as thet are a Towle stainless pattern. The next day (day 4), when we were checking out, I finally talked to the head of housekeeping who had no ideas anything was missing as he had been out. Then he tells me I have to file a police report to get the two spoons reported -- come on!!! are they serious???? as we were checking out?? and I made it clear I wasn't accusing the maid -- just thought she made a mistake. we're out $70 for the replacement cost of the spoons. What a bunch of incompetents!!!!
