The Apex hotel, location is just perfect. 5 minutes from Edinburgh Waverly station. Pros: Location, cleanliness, accessibility. Cons: It was just our experience, where we went out and came back to our room with a leaking bathroom. The upper light socket was pouring and leaking water. But, the team quickly sent the maintenance to check, moved us to another room and provided a complimentary breakfast. This is a really a good hotel, where you can easily walk to key locations and use public transport for travel. A good place, and I would recommend to other fellow travelers.

I really like the location. It is really close to famous tourist spot. The facilities were also nice. The size of pool and sauna was not that huge, but enough to enjoy the time with your family. I went to this hotel during Christmas season and they prepared some mince pie and mulled wine at the reception. It was so nice and warm experience. Oh, at last i really fancy the mini size of lip balm and hand cream so much! And duck as well!

There's no on-site parking, but the hotel helped arrange paid parking for us. Luckily, there was a very kind Chinese-speaking front desk staff member who helped us sort out the parking fee, which wasn't cheap. It's super convenient at the foot of Calton Hill, and other attractions are within walking distance. The hotel rooms are spacious, and the breakfast is delicious.

The rooms and bathrooms are clean, and the hotel is close to the train station, making it convenient to go anywhere. The front desk staff was excellent. On our second stay, we felt our room was on a lower floor, and we requested a twin room. She diligently helped us find a new room and ultimately managed to switch us. She even proactively helped us move our luggage to the new room and gave us two complimentary drink vouchers for the bar, which we greatly appreciated. Additionally, there's a Chinese girl at the hotel's front desk who was very helpful. She told us where the supermarket was and the easiest way to get to the train station (just like someone else mentioned, definitely don't follow Google Maps, as it leads you over a big hill; following her directions was very convenient, no big hill climbing needed, you can take an elevator down). We are very grateful to her.

An exceptionally wonderful hotel. Great location with walking distance to Waverly Railway Station (i.e. the main/central railway station), Highland and Loch Ness tour buses, city sightseeing buses, the majority of the sightseeings in Edinburgh, St James Quarter (i.e. a nice shopping center), many stores, shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Nice, clean and quiet room with comfortable beds, with iron and ironing board. Nice gym, swimming pool and sauna on the third floor. Nice (breakfast) restaurant and a bar, nice breakfast, great staff everywhere, fast and nice check-in and check-out. We highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely come back to this hotel.

I was a bit worried after seeing some negative reviews, but it turned out to be excellent. First, the location is only a few minutes from the train station; you just exit the ground floor and walk for three minutes. The front desk staff and cleaning crew were all very friendly. I arrived ten minutes late for check-in, and they even offered me a hot drink from the bar next door. The room was spacious, and there was a large complimentary bottle of water every day. Calton Hill is a three-minute walk if you turn left when you exit the main door, and a five-minute walk to the Scott Monument and the '网红桥' (famous Instagram bridge) if you turn right. A M&S supermarket is also not far. It's definitely worth staying here.
