Nice hotel to a reasonable price.
Very kind people in the reception (thank you Scott!) who recommended some really nice restaurants with very godd seafood for us.

 

The noice from the street on fridaym night

Every time I visit Edinburgh I stay at the Apex International. It's relaxed, with excellent, obliging reception people who don't hassle you. Breakfasts are great. Rooms are really big and the beds extremely comfortable.
It's within walking distance of all the important places. But they do seem to have a problem with their lifts - every second visit and at least one is broken.
Otherwise - it's hard to beat. I never tried the spa etc, so I can't comment on that. Nor have I had an evening meal there. But the lounge area is very relaxing.

Everything - almost

The broken lifts - again !!

This hotel is fab, there is nothing that this hotel would not do to make your stay an excellant one,the staff bend over backwards to make our stay a happy one,evan the food is great,day or night coming in late from a show or a club, making you a wee snack, or what you want and it is never any bother this hotel aims to please parking is a nightmare in this city not if you are staying here as the parking is provided to all guests yes we have been here before and will continue to come and also we have recomended to our friends they are alo very happy anyone who does not like this hotel should stay at home as nothing would please them

we liked everything

The Apex International is a modern hotel with good facilities. There is an excellent choice of foods for breakfast and views of the castle from the restaurant are not to be missed! The (standard) bedroom was clean with two double beds, an ironing board, hairdryer, trouser press, TV and DVD. There was plenty of hanging / storage space. The only thing missing was a fridge / mini-bar (may be available in higher grade rooms?). There was plenty of staff available who were very helpful. The spa facilities (I tried the pool and steam room) were good, and the changing rooms were spotless, with towells, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries, and lockers provided. The Apex is good value for money and in an excellent location for exploring the "old town".

The hotel was well-maintained, friendly staff in a good location

Lack of a mini-bar / fridge
