Very comfy bed. Lovely fluffy towels. Very clean. Location. Yummy breakfast. Polite staff.
The creaky floor outside our room. Loud enough to wake us up at times. If they give you rooms 1012, 1013 or 1015, ask for a different room.( especially with paying a premium fee for it!)..unless they fix it! But I doubt we were the first to mention it.

We had a wonderful stay at the Apex Grassmarket Hotel in Edinburgh. The rooms were spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable—perfect after a day of exploring. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the Old Town, just a short walk from Edinburgh Castle and surrounded by great restaurants and pubs. We especially enjoyed the hotel’s lounge and restaurant, which offered a relaxing atmosphere and lovely views. The underground parking was a convenient bonus, especially in such a busy area. Overall, the Apex Grassmarket Hotel delivered on comfort, service, and location. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
Nothing in particular
