We stayed here for 2 nights and received a upgrade to a superior room with views of the castle. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The view from the breakfast room is amazing and there is a great choice for breakfast. Will definitely stay here again

We stayed at this hotel in 2012 and had a fabulous couple of nights. There are so many hotels and B&B's in and around Edinburgh and it is difficult to chose in the end I was swayed by this one due to the views and excellent price but had no idea of it's location. It's actually in a great spot... More

We spent our 30th anniversary in the Alex International & the staff made it so special for us. They upgraded our room to one with a lovely view of the castle & gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne too. We'd highly recommend it to anybody thinking of going on a visit to Edinburgh.

We stayed three nights at the Apex as part of a long, three week tour of Ireland and the UK. Arriving with much baggage due to the length of our travels, I found that the hotel was a good fit for us as there was plenty of space and storage in our (very large by European standards) room. The location... More

My husband, 2 children and I had a lovely weekend break in Edinburgh and really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room wasn't terribly spacious but was very comfortable and well appointed. I had requested a quiet room and we were not disturbed when the bars on The Grassmarket closed. We didn't realise that the hotel had a pool,... More

Great hotel, the staff were very helpful. Perfect location, walking distance to the castle, art gallery and shops. The Scottish breakfast was very tasty, tried the bit of haggis for the first-time, when in Rome do as the Romans, would definitely stay again.

We went away for a few days after our wedding. The Apex International is in the perfect location for the castle and Royal Mile. The staff were efficient and friendly. The restaurant was excellent for dinner and breakfast. Cant really fault it
