I hadn't stayed in Edinburgh for about 25 years so the smartening up of the Grassmarket - home to two Apex hotels - was a pleasant surprise. Still plenty of local character around of course, so a good location from which to get to know the city. Hiotel is clean, smart and comfortable and staff seem attentive and enthusiastic, with...

Here's a hotel which I stayed at over the New Year - a busy time of year in Edinburgh so probably a good test to see how they would fare. The hotel is a little bit tricky to find if you don't know Edinburgh too well but for those who do, it's on the very popular Grassmarket, in the shadow... More

Rooms were spacious and clean, hotel itself is clean and modern, location is fantastic and the view from the restaurant to the castle is beautiful.
