This place was perfect for us. We had to get two rooms with our two teens. The rooms were comfortable---and we loved the view. Edinburgh castle is just out the window. The next morning we crossed the street and walked up the steps and we were there. There are restaurants nearby (we ate at a great Italian place across the street and a nearby Indian place up Victoria street). We did not take advantage of the breakfast (pricey for us) but got some great breakfast sandwiches at a little shop down the street on the other side of the Apex International.
The staff was very helpful with our questions---our early morning cab was waiting on time. The computer in the business center wouldn't work in the evening and no one could fix it---but I didn't need to check my e-mail anyway!
Everything was perfectly quiet and we felt very safe on the streets nearby.
I had a hard time operating the TV (too many remotes) but I had a teenager along to fix it!
Loved the deep tub with the rubber ducky and the great smelling bath products. Nice selection of teas and a little snack in the room--included. -

We needed a clean hotel close to the castle, shopping and pubs.... The first room we were given had black hairs all over the sheets and in the bathroom. After much argument the night clerk moved us to a different room which was cleaner. Around 1 a.m. in the morning the "loud" couple in the next room woke my grandchild with their moans and screams. NOT KID FRIENDLY. We had to pound on the wall to get them to stop the noise. The neighborhood is not a safe environment as another patron expressed. When the sun goes down the creepy street people come out from the alleys. Thus, we will NOT stay there again. We love to visit Edinburgh and all of Scotland. For the high prices at the Apex we will go back to B&B's without stress, with clean rooms, and with reasonable prices.

A friend and I stayed here for a week and loved its location and its friendly staff. Our room was small but very clean and well supplied with everything we needed. It got a little noisy some nights but not too badly; it was centrally located and we felt perfectly safe there.

The Apex City Hotel was very nice. I liked the location (close to shopping, pubs, Edinburgh Castle). I expected the room to be a little larger & nicer for a ""Four Star Hotel"". But it was very clean & nice. I would have wished for more TV channels (they have only about 7). And though it was right across from several pubs, there was never any loud noise coming from them to keep me awake at night. I enjoyed this hotel & would recommend it to friends.
