Terrific location close to restaurants, Fringe Festival venues and many attractions. Hop-on/off bus stops right outside. 24hr check in was helpful when our flight was delayed. Also handy to be able to leave bags after checkout until our flight.
TV not working in our room

I liked the executive lounge feature. I also liked having a bathtub and a shower to choose from.
The view wasn't great, I had a room facing their courtyard. The options for food in the area were very slim.

Location, location, location. Nice staff. Clean. Elevators!!! Free drink with stay.
For the price of these rooms they should have usb chargers or adaptors.

The location was brilliant.
It was tired, grubby and overpriced. The water pressure in our room was terrible, the shower had cracked tiles and black mould, paint was peeling off the door and there were stains on the carpet. This was not the standard I would expect for a 4 star hotel. Very disappointing.

The breakfast was very nice, the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
I wish I booked a premium room with AC during the heat wave.

Breakfast was delicious. We both had a cooked breakfast. I asked if I could have my Eggs Benedict on sourdough rather than muffins which was no problem at all.
There were plenty fluffy white towels, ironing board & iron. The bed was very comfortable & cosy.
There was nothing that we didn’t like. We weren’t in the room for a long period, as we came down for the tattoo, so late to bed & early start to head home in the morning.
But we have booked our Tattoo tickets for 2026 & a room at The Apex again

room was very nice - separate living area came in handy - family of 5.
Parking under the hotel was difficult - hard to find a space

The location was excellent, also the food in the restaurant was a suprise the staff and the quality was fantastic.
No Aircon in the room, it was very warm even with the fan on and the room only had one window. I also paid for late check out but the key card stopped working at 11am. nearly forgot the shower tray was not draining properly which was a bit of a problem with 3 people sharing.

The windows opened & we loved having some fresh air.
Room was good-sized & bed was comfy. Overpriced, but then the dollar /pound rate sucked when we were there.
We are not breakfast eaters so can't comment on the dining room.
Great location.

Location was excellent, staff were so friendly, very comfortable rooms very good breakfast.
No restaurant or bar open in the evening, could be a bit of a delay at breakfast however that was due to the numbers hotel was full and staff did their very best. Cost was very high and I know it is the Fringe and Oasis were in town and it was the going rate etc but it was very very expensive given what I usually pay for good hotels at least twice the price

Location is excellent, room very nice. Supply of filtered water on the floor was very useful. Overall a very nice hotel.
Breakfast area was very narrow and people walking past to get to the buffet could be troublesome, perhaps we sat in the wrong area. Breakfast was normal buffet style, nothing special for such an expensive hotel. As it was Edinburgh Festival time, perhaps this explains the price which was top end.
