Location, location. Location! This hotel was in the most wonderful location. I could look out my window and see the castle. It was in the wonderful grassmarket neighborhood and just steps from the royal mile.
The hotel was tastefully decorated and very clean. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was nice with lots of choices, either buffet or a-la-carte.
The staff...when I arrived, alone, with 3 pieces a heavy luggage the man at the front desk said he was alone & couldn't leave the desk. So I had to find the luggage cart, load the luggage & then push the cart up a steep hill in the rain, by myself. Not a great first impression. Then 2 of the 3 breakfasts, I was waiting for staff to take my order & then bring me the check & both times the staff member was standing at the check-in desk, playing on their phones. Lastly, when I left at 3 am for an early flight out, there were 3 people standing at the front desk. I asked for a luggage cart. They told me it was on a different floor & I could go get it. Once again, I had to search out the cart, load my own luggage, push it down the steep ramp, unload my luggage & take the cart back up the hill. 3 STAFF MEMBERS standing there & did not lift a finger to help me. What terrible customer service all the way around. Apex clearly does not believe in hospitality or customer service.

Convenience to Edinburgh City Centre
Room was facing front and warm because we had to close the windows because of the noise outside. In future, would choose a room in the back.

The location was nice and convenient.
It was very expensive for the room compared to other places. You are just paying for the location, but nothing special about the room.
