"My husband and I stayed at the Alex for 4 days on a recent trip to Edinburgh. We’re from Canada and it was our first visit to Scotland so we were very excited to stay right in the thick of things. The hotel was in the perfect location, we could see the castle and were only a couple of minutes away from Victoria Street. The Apex pool and sauna were a fun little edition as well! I highly recommend."

"Good location and nice rooms, one of the lifts didn’t work so we used the staircase which was like a multi-storey car park staircase rather than a hotel staircase."

"We booked a family room which showed 2 beds but second bed was actually a pullout sofa with terrible mattress- no other rooms available- unacceptable. Power did not work right until breakers reset second night"
