Apex was right in the heart of everywhere we wanted to visit in Edinburgh. The stag was friendly and accommodating - even checking us in early instead of just holding our bags while we explored the city. The hotel was clean and accessible.

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient

This is very convenient for food, nice pubs and restaurants with both indoor and outdoor spaces. It is also a convenient walk to most attractions. Great view of Edinburgh Castle from the street. The bed was a little hard and the pillows a little flat from an American perspective, but that seems common in many places we’ve stayed in Europe.
