Apex Grassmarket Hotel
Excellent location with private car park (extra charge). Booked a family room described as two double beds but it was really a king bed with a convertible couch. Room was a bit tight but had a view of the castle. Room temp was comfortable and could be controlled easily. Bathroom floor wasn’t clean ...

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
Check in was exceptional - we didn’t take the breakfast option as we had an early flight to catch so opted to skip it. The room was lovely clean & spacious / we were celebrating our anniversary and had the surprise of a lovely Xmas duck to keep. It really was a lovely stay / we enjoyed the spa facility ...

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club
This is an excellent property to stay at. It is a first class resort. The staff are excellent,resturant superb, and ground beautiful. The only mino down side is that the hotel is large and guest seem to get lost in the maze of hallways.
