The location is fantastic for all the main tourist attractions but also some good shops and restaurants. Room was huge and plenty of room for us and our infant and extra luggage. Hard to beat the view from the balcony!
No elevator to entrance. We had to use ramp to bring in luggage and stroller.

Brilliant position right in the centre of Edinburgh Old town. Easy walk to so many things. Beautiful clean unit with car parking space, (which you did have to pay for). Welcome drink was a really 'welcome' and much appreciated gesture. There was always a lovely cool drink in the lobby which was also a really nice touch. Staff were helpful and we loved chatting to Ben the barman!
Look, it was expensive, however, you are right in the heart of Old Town so it is to be expected. Free parking would have been great, seeing as though the cost is quite high.

Location in the hub of Grassmarket, walking distance to main old town and castle. Great food and breakfast which stayed open until 10:30. Modern style with lots of facilities. Parking available for a fee.
High Price. Many steps but staff provided help when asked. Toilet flushing weird and tub/shower awkward - needed more grab bars for safety. Spray-head feed pipe leaked. Doors on closets were in poor condition (missing screws). When I offered this information I was dismissed stating that cleaning staff will report any issue. Check-in process lengthy in a noisy reception lobby.

The location for the Apex Grassmarket was great! With it being just off the Royal Mile, we were greeted with a view of the Edinburgh Castle every morning when we went out. I did not regret getting the cheaper room on the courtyard/alley side at all. The staff was wonderful and our room was ready even before the official check-in time. It was also one of the few places that had rooms with two beds available for a reasonable price during our stay. Just be aware there are two Apex hotels on the same street very close together. We didn't visit Apex City of Edinburgh, so can't comment which is better.
We could not take a shower without water getting all over the floor. It is a common setup in Scotland to only have a partition halfway across the shower, but our partition was not even sealed well for the part it covered. We reported this to the staff on check out and hope it was addressed.

Location is excellent. Quiet in a busy area. The pool was great (though it felt like going to a dungeon to get there). Adrien/Andrei? helped me with my luggage. I liked that they had a place to refill water.
Room could have been a little bigger. But I felt that way about many of the hotels I stayed in this trip.
Thank you for your information!
