Good location and great basic room.
This hotel is in a good location for exploring Edinburgh Castle and the area around. The service at the hotel is excellent and everything is clean. The shower drain was not working well and after a call to the desk, a very friendly engineer arrived in less than 5 minutes to fix the issue.

A truly excellent hotel choice!
We decided to extend our Scotland vacation by an extra day and happened upon the Apex City hotel. We weren't really looking for more than a place to sleep for our last night of the trip. Wow! Were we surprised. This hotel was amazing. We arrived first thing in the morning (well before check-in time) and were greeted by the friendliest staff. They put our bags in storage until our room was ready and then proceeded to help us plan out our day to make sure we saw everything they felt we needed to before departed their beautiful country. Once we finally returned to the hotel and actually checked in we were again surprised by the elegance of the room complete with a beautiful view of the square and the Edinburgh Castle. Our only complaint was that we had wished we had found this hotel earlier in our trip. We would have definitely stayed there more than one night. We've already decided this will be where we stay the next time we're in Scotland.
