Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Apex in Grass market is a perfect location for the Castle, Old Town, Royal Mile and loads of restaurants, cafes and pubs. The staff were brilliant and not just one but everyone that dealt with us over the week. They were accommodating and very pleasant. Facilities included a spa and very clean swimming pool. I seriously can't recommend this hotel highly enough."
