Good location for the city

Room was hot with only a fan to cool. We had a cracked toilet pan and flush was useless. Due to location can be quite noisy at night.

"Fantastic time overall, we checked in early, use the leisure facilities, then enjoy our city visit"

10.0

Location was excellent, right in the middle of the Grassmarket.

I had paid extra for a room with the view of Edinburgh Castle which was amazing, just a suggestion, the room had space outside for a balcony, that would have been the icing on the cake, to have a room with a view of the Castle with a balcony.

"Apex Grassmarket-late May"

9.0

Jimmy, a bartender/waiter, who was professional, engaging and fun to talk to about books, authors & travel. [& decent caesar salad on the menu!] The front desk staff, who were very helpful in dealing with a broken pool entrance door lock and who ordered taxis. View of castle from our room. Pool! The fan that was in our room [since there was a heat streak, so having a fan helped massively with air circulation: can imagine hotel needing to put 2 fans in each room over the summer if unprecedented heat continues]. [Downstairs lobby was cool.] Watching kids, as parents checked in, play with the beaded curtain between reception and lounge: very creative adventures they were making up!

I thought the hotel itself would have spa services [given signage down to pool], but it didn't. And walking from the train station, at first confused about which property this was, since sister property close by.
