"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes.

However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff. Everything was top class."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was wonderful... and the staff, even better! Great location! Would certainly stay here again in the future. My only complaint would be that the room felt a bit warm. I searched the room for a thermostat or way to adjust the temperature, but found nothing. Maybe I just didn't know where to look... haha! But my husband and I were able to crack the window to let in some cooler air. Also, there was a fan provided in the room."
