Apex Grassmarket Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Please let the guest know in advance if there is construction occurring in front of the room prior to booking."

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff were very friendly and happy to help. Brilliant location, right next to the Haymarket train and tram stations. Good links for buses and taxis too. Platform 5 pub attached to the hotel is very good, pleasant atmosphere, food and drinks. The room could have been a bit cleaner, in particular the floors. The duvet was incredibly thick, coupled with the fact the windows were screwed shut and the air conditioning would only go to a minimum of 20 degrees, it made for quite a warm night."
