Edinburgh and Lothian hotel rooms a the Independent

"Had a wonderful stay! Right off the Royal Mile, so great for exploring the city centre."

"The separate room for kids was nice. Everyone felt like they had their own space. It was great having access to a kitchen while traveling."

"Clean, comfortable, quiet, close to the train station and restaurants "

"Great location for the Fringe. "

"We walked to hotel from Waverley Rail station was 30 min walk. Get a taxi if got cases and bags. Lovely walk otherwise to Princes street. Can walk to town centre by side of river through Leith Gardens. Lovely walk. Hotel staff were quick to book us in. room was lovely, big, clean, tea coffee milk biscuits. Shower, hair and soap in bathroom. Shower curtain was spotlessly clean. Lovely big soft towels. We were overlooking the river which was nice. We had a very pretty lounge next to our room. Staff were very friendly and on hand for any questions or replenishment of room stuff. Didn’t have breakfast so cannot comment on that but smelt lovely when walking through main lobby. Would recommend this hotel, if able to walk okay but if unsteady on feet you would need to get a taxi ( plenty about) as hotel is down a very steep curvy road from main road to hotel at side of river. "

"Great place to stay, just a 4-5 min walk to the royal mile and close walk to all the main landmarks. Would for sure be booking here again when we come back to this beautiful city. "

"Excellent property. No air conditioning or way to regulate room temp except a barely open window. The noise is big until 2 am because several bars across street and castle has military tattoo. Comfortable and adequate. They clean well but when we checked in the outside of our toilet had a small smear of stool. Thank goodness we had Clorox wipes"

"Wonderful location and beautiful hotel interior "

"We loved Apex City Hotel. The staff members were all very friendly, the guest room was clean, comfortable and spacious for 3 people. There's a nice buffet style breakfast at the hotel restaurant at reasonable prices. We can walk to shops, local restaurants and attractions. Edinburgh Castle is a 15 minute walk. National Art Gallery is a 10 minute walk. Loved the purified water dispenser on each floor and a water carafe in the room--did not have to buy bottled water! We were here for the Fringe Festival and could walk to all the major performance venues (the furthest one was only a 15 minutes walk)."
