Apex Grassmarket Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Amazing staff and location. Can’t wait to go back!"
"Easy check in, clean and well kept accommodations. Friendly and inclusive staff. Nifty old building. Nice vibes throughout. Convenient location.
I stayed in a private room so cannot speak for the dorms, however, our room was satisfactory, cool and comfy.
I stayed only 1 quick night so wasn’t able to enjoy any activities besides sleeping, but they seem to have schedules of things going on in (or around?) the hostel.
Would recommend if you want to stay close to the city centre and want to be around other travellers. You can choose between shared dorm rooms or private rooms. "
"The staff is amazing and helpful. The location is outstanding, near transportation, with great walkability. There is also amazing food and drink options. Highly recommended for anything from a coffee, a meal, or an overnight stay - or all of the above!

"Food buffet was good but a bit disorganised. Bed is ok, room spacious. Clean. Hotel is very dated from outside but not as bad inside. Stay was fine really. Location is lovely and quiet and a 15min walk to haymarket"
