the 1970's style hotel is OK, except that I had been promised a pool and that was in the other hotel... the quiet room was on the side where actually the noise of the drinking echoed up the dies streets.. Not the hotels fault... Check in took ages as the pre-payment seemed to be a problem and I was not... More

The other spider fell off my towel as I grabbed it off the towel rack. Eeeeekkk! Had this happened on night one, we would've been... More

A clean, modern hotel with a spectacular view of the Edinburgh Castle and within walking distance of downtown and the Royal mile. The beds were comfortable and the room spacious and quiet.The staff was gracious and provided excellent service. A lively bar and bar staff contributed to our enjoyable stay. We shall return to the Apex when in Edinburgh again.
