Apex Grassmarket Hotel
Convenient hotel close to all the city has to offer. Clean and tidy rooms, a little on the small side. Great breakfast option, although would have liked to pay less as I only eat continental breakfast it’s one price £18 pp (kids half price) incl hot. Comfy beds, gorgeous view of the castle!
