Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

6/10 Okay
"An ideal location for a first time visit to Edinburgh with all the sites within walking distance. Staff were friendly and helpful when asked for assistance. However, don’t be fooled by castle view rooms as we booked a superior castle view and found ourselves on first floor looking upto the castle but through very dirty windows and stained net curtains made more awkward when all the world outside could see into our room being so low down therefore not making the open curtain looking at castle view very enjoyable whilst being watched by all in the pubs opposite. This would be better if you request the top floor! As for cleanliness of the room this is where it really let itself down as we paid a lot of money for one night you expect a spotless experience however the carpet was filthy and lose fitted coming away from the floor. The cushions were stained and worn, walls covered in various scuff marks and stains. The bathroom shower tiles were so badly stained and cracked with missing grout we didn’t use the shower. It was what we would expect in a travel lodge for £50 a night not a £250+ per night superior room. Room was very worn and outdated compared to photos they list online. Let down by the room otherwise I am sure a nice hotel."
