    spacious room
    comfy bed
    luxurious towels
    no breakfast

    The Superior Twin room was super spacious and really comfy. The bed and pillows felt plush, making it easy to relax after a long day. I loved the luxurious towels and high-quality toiletries in the bathroom. Plus, the quiet vibe in the back of the hotel was a nice touch. It even had a mini fridge! No major complaints except I wish I had booked breakfast, it sounded awesome.

    i had a fantastic stay at apex. the location was perfect, just a short walk to the playhouse theatre and the christmas market. the room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a large shower and amazing water pressure. the pool area was really nice too, offering a relaxing soak after a long day.

    amazing breakfast

    ambient, ambient, ambient

    The atmosphere of the hotel felt warm and inviting the moment I walked in. I was particularly enchanted by the gorgeous indoor pool that beckoned me after a long day of exploring, perfect for unwinding. Plus, the breakfast spread was a delightful adventure, offering everything from a scrumptious salmon omelette to fresh pastries that made me want to linger at my table longer.

    would recommend 🦆💕

    Exceptional spa facilities, engaging bar with quality drinks, indoor pool access

    Communication can be improved regarding room service delays!!! The lift situation is inconvenient with only one functioning, and it tends to be monopolized by service staff!!! Noise disturbances from surrounding areas need addressing!!!

    efficient bar

    It's just a proper fit for a fleeting pause in Edinburgh with great value for the money. The bar staff were efficient and friendly, which made a good impression. A tip, avoid weekend nights if you want peace and quiet.

    spacious bedroom
    high-quality bathroom
    limited kids' menu

    We really loved the spacious bedroom with high-quality fittings and the immaculate bathroom stocked with Elemis products. The convenient location made exploring the vibrant areas nearby so easy, and the bar area was perfect for unwinding after a busy day with our little one.

    In my wife’s opinion, a more diverse kids' menu would be great.

    delicious meals
    great swimming pool
    children's play area

    We had a wonderful time, especially the kids with the swimming pool and warm steam room. The restaurant served delicious meals that were a hit with our family. The staff went out of their way to engage with our children, which made our stay even sweeter.

    My kids wished for a toy-friendly corner in the lobby.

    The room offered ample space for our family. The hotel location made it easy to walk to attractions and nearby activities.

    The breakfast area could use more seating during peak times.

    Highly recommend for couples looking for relaxation

    The staff were amazing, like, they gave us free drink tokens when our room wasn’t ready on time! Breakfast was fantastic too, John served us with such politeness it felt like being treated like royalty.

    Yeah, it wasn't exactly cheap, but still perfectly acceptable.
