The Apex hotel was very convenient to the Royal mile and the tourist hotspots and also within walking distance to Princess street. Also plenty of cafes and restaurants in and around the Grassmarket. The hotel has its own carpark which was a great bonus. We found the staff very pleasant in all areas, especially reception as we found them very welcoming and helpful.
