Apex Grassmarket Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This was a typical hotel type situation. They were nice. Our shower had no rim to hold the water in, so water poured out into the bathroom and we had to use all of our towels to dry it up. Other than that, it was just a place to sleep and hit the road sightseeing. They were helpful when we needed them."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"It was clean I will put this hostal at the high end. Super secure, clean. People are very helpful. They open the PEND, which is great. You can work. They fridges were you can save your food. There is also a microwave, water heater, dishes, utensiles. I didnt participate but they have different activities. Location is a plus They also have a restaurant with good prices. I stayed in a 10 pod The mattress was super comfy. Two connector for usb. They offer a fan if u are to hot. The bathroom are clean I will recommend it. They also have single rooms if you dont want to be with other people A place to go"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel has an excellent location, just minutes from Waverley Station, which was very convenient as we arrived via train. At the end of our stay, we walked 5 minutes to the Airlink 100 bus stop on Waverley Bridge, so it was close to airport transportation as well. We were minutes from the Royal Mile and close to New Town too. The hot breakfast offerings were great and the breakfast buffet was well stocked with a good variety of fruit, cereal, yogurt, baked goods, meats and cheeses. I especially enjoyed the included champagne at breakfast. We also enjoyed the in-room snacks with Scottish brands, which were also included. The Artist Vista room was small but adequate and had creative space solutions, such as the sliding wood panel that functioned as a curtain. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again!"

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Location is great. The tram from the airport stops right in front of the hotel (Picard Place station). It can't get more convenient than that - you just cross the street. There are lots of places to eat and you can walk easily to the old town attractions. The rooms were tight (with the sofa sleeper extended) , felt outdated and damp from the humidity in the air. Staff was nice and the included breakfast was good."
