Great stay
Had a great stay. Liked having the water filling station on my floor so we could refill water bottles. Had a family room which was spacious for a family of 3 and clean. Location in Grassmarket was excellent with lots of dining options. Edinburgh is such a walkable city to everything you want to see. Found it pricey, but to be expected given the time of year we stayed. Would stay again.

It is central to all attractions. Rooms are fairly clean. The family rooms are small and don’t have AC. The front rooms could be noisy due to the proximity to the bars and street.

This hotel was great for the following reasons: 1. Location - really in the thick of things right in the Grass market. Great dining, lots of shops, near major attractions, and with beautiful views. We could hear the Castle concerts right from our room 2. Service - front desk attendants were helpful, was the lots of information for local sights. We really appreciated the ability to leave our bags locked up after check-out, so we had more time to explore. 3. Rooms - nicely appointed and spacious. Beautiful bathroom with lots of soaps/lotions and a nice shower and separate bathtub. Loved the windows that opened, so we could hear the sounds of the street, and the music from the multiple concerts. 4. Bedding was very soft, and the wool blanket a nice local nod, and beautiful! Large, comfortable pillows. 5. Breakfast service was great, and we enjoyed that it wasn't just continental, but that we could also order a hot meal. Overall, really impressed with this hotel. One major disappointment though - the mattress! Absolutely awful! The bounciest brick I have ever slept on. Very hard, but also felt every movement of my partner. One of the worst I have ever slept on. If the Apex can get their mattress situation figured out, this would easily be a 5/5 hotel.

It was a great location,but it was extremely hot inside the building versus outside. As you got closer to our room the heat was bad. Our room had a at least. I had no idea we had any VIP benefits and paid full price for parking so we were not walking a far distance.
