Bad place to eat healthily. Visibly obese teenagers show that food in education has yet to be introduced. There is no serious bread to be had, only sponge bread that I thought had disappeared in the last century. What is boasted as sour dough bread is a travesty, with sugar added. Sugar is for cakes. Organic vegetarian restaurants are absent. There are only two small organic food stores in this metropole.
Public transport gets you almost everywhere, for a modest cap sum. Air quality is poor on account that all buses stil run on diesel. Electric buses for this small city should be mandatory.

Great places to eat, lots of walking and places of historical significance, lovely architecture, the Castle is amazing, the Chocolatarium is amazing, the Lind and Lime gin distillery is amazing. We had a lovely time exploring and getting to know the city and its lovely people.
We are definitely going to go back there to do the activities and tours we missed out on the first time!

Plenty to do.
Plenty to do. Alexander McCall Smith’s Scotland Street book locations were the highlight of our stay. Highly recommended is Valvona and Crolla deli and cafe. National Gallery excellent. Scottish Parliament worth a visit. Cote good for food and the Cumberland Bar good too. Wetherspoons good for budget eating and drinking. Walking ok for fit people. Maybe too hilly for some. Princes Street and the Royal mile extremely busy.

Edinburgh seems to have a lot of tourist traps, but if you like that kind of thing, then it's the right place to be. Edinburgh Castle and viewing the Crown Jewels is always an interesting visit, although perhaps overcrowded. Harry Potter is milked, but fans get many treats and should opt for the walking Harry Potter Tour. The Royal Mile is fantastic with visitors spoilt for choice in terms of pubs and food. The buskers unfortunately seem to lack talent and should practice more. The adventure on the mile becomes tedious with too many outlets offering similar wares. The Edinburgh Dungeon is worth a visit, although the offering is based very much on the London Dungeon and pulled off with less aplomb. Calton Hill makes for excellent panoramic views and points of interest. We felt that the hop on - hop off busses was not worth the spend, as we found that most areas of interest could be reached on foot. The Camera Obscura attraction on the Royal Mile is a must visit and should be worked into the itinerary. Regrettably, we were not allowed to proceed with a pre-booked tour of The Reak Mary King's Close as the establishment cocked up our time slot. The National Museum of Scotland is worth a visit for history and science buffs, and admission is free. St Giles Cathedral is a must visit and the architecture is stunning. Its 900 odd year history is equally impressive. Franchised coffee shops offer the weary traveller great hot drinks and snacks.

We go to Edinbugh regularly from North Wales to visit the art galleries and walk around the city centre. It is a very beautiful place, very compact and easy to walk around. People are friendly and there are some great eating places. We never go near London any more as we much prefer to visit our Cletic cousins North of the border.

If you chose not to rent a car, Tram at airport to downtown Edinburgh, also Link bus (we took) from airport to downtown Edinburgh.
Everyone in Edinburgh wears running/ low flat shoes - Everyone!. It is very hilly, cobblestone streets, leave your heels at home.
Lovely small hotel just outside the city centre, with on-site parking.
The owner was lovely and very accommodating (we ended up with a very late check-in due to an impromptu climbing of Ben Nevis). Also very helpful as a travel guide with what to do and where to eat.
Beautiful building and furnishings. Very quaint and spacious room with modern bathroom and excellent shower.
On bus route, so easy access in and out of Edinburgh city centre without the hassles of driving and parking.
The location was amazing! We only had a short time in Edinburgh and this flat was a close walking distance to the bus tour pickups, walking tours and the Royal Mile. We were able to walk to the Castle, Greyfriar’s Kirkyard (and Bobby), our bus pickup for a day trip to Loch Ness, the Edinburgh Dungeon, shopping, Victoria Street, etc.! An amazing spot in Old Town Edinburgh! It was also right next to a bunch of Fringe Festival happenings (though we left the day it started.)
The hotel was extremely comfy and relax to stay in Edinburgh, the staffs were so friendly and nice.
Don't be hesitated of the location, there is a bus station near to the hotel and easy to reach to the city centre.
We made a change of date arrival at last minute, but the staff took us request, so lucky and so happy to extend one more day there, thanks for all.
The scotland full breakfast has improved a little bit but tasty as local as can be.
it was a wonderful a stay at the Apex, one of the best Hotels I stayed with in the UK. Lovely and friendly staff, clean Rooms and spacious. Clean and modern bathroom. lovely shower gels. The location is close to everything, Shopping mall, Train station and Cafes. if you are visiting Edinburgh don’t hesitate to book at it. Also it is close to the Old town and a nice walk into the New town of Edinburgh.
we didnt try the breakfast so no comment on that.
Awesome location right next to historic locations, Victoria St in Old Town Edinburgh, and minutes walk to Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, etc. great vibe in the hostel itself, clean bathrooms, Rey helpful reception staff (had only one day and wanted to get a good taste of things to do)… we walked the Royal Mile and hiked up Calton Hill for a 360 degree view of Edinburgh on recommendation. Great experience!
The staff was incredible! It's the best part of the Leonardo. They were friendly and helped us in many ways.
It's in a decent location - only about 20 minute walk to the Old Town Edinburgh. There are also bus stops very close.
We also frequented the bar in the evenings. It was great getting to know the people who worked at the hotel.
The breakfasts were also very good. It was a good value,
Breakfast buffet was more than ample. GF options and best organised I have ever seen for guests with any food intolerances. Very practical and well organised hotel. Staff very professional and efficient. Great base for exploring Leith or for going into Edinburgh city centre. Family, couple, people on business friendly. It ticks all the boxes. Bright and airy. Would not hesitate to recommend!
Great little hotel in a superb location nice and close to Edinburgh city centre. Staff were friendly and extremely responsive and the breakfast option provided excellent value. The facilities have charm and character so if you're after something new and unused don't come here. But if you're ok with a nice setup and good value this is a great option. We've been several times now.
The hotel is close to the train station and right off the Royal Mile, which is the heart of the Old Town. It is a close walk to many of Edinburgh's attractions. Other advantages: large sunny room with high ceilings; gorgeous view of the Walter Scott Monument; kitchenette with tea kettle, fridge, and sink; nice big bathtub; free self-service laundry in the basement.
Clean, well organised hotel with great staff on the edge of Edinburgh. Nowhere in the city is cheap but it is still a good spot if you can get decent price for the rooms. The tram into the city centre is only a couple of minutes walk away. Few places to eat nearby. Nice pool, decent breakfast and all you would expect from a good hotel chain.
The room was clean. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Really good breakfast starting at 0700 so you can get an early start to your day.
Excellent location. The 100 Edinburgh Airport shuttle bus stops right outside the hotel and you can walk to the city centre from the hotel in 10 mins.
It will be my go to hotel for future visits.
The location is perfect, in city centre, in walking distance to both the Old Town and the New Town, and this hotel is great value for money. I was worried that the room might be noisy because of the location, but we were in the new part of the hotel and it was very quiet. It was also very clean and comfortable.
Having a lift to get up to the 3rd floor. Nice comfortable bed and very quiet! Nice sized room. Nice bathroom but no view. Perfect location on Princes Street and opposite Waverley Station. The absolute best Scottish breakfast in a dining room with stunning views of Edinburgh castle and the old town.
Staff were friendly and helpful, room was spacious, comfy, and well equipped, hotel very close to Holyrood Park and the city centre (with rental bikes available too, very convenient). Would recommend for a stay in Edinburgh! P.s. best haggis we've ever had, for breakfast.
I'm a germ freak and I was very comfortable with how clean the room was. The bed was absolutely spotless, no weird stains anywhere which is very difficult to find in a city centre hotel. Great location, close to all of Edinburgh's attractions but still in a quiet area.
Often stay at this hotel when I am in Edinburgh city centre great location for the city centre and all it has to offer hotel staff were helpful and friendly on arrival my room was spacious and excellent comfy bed top shower and my room had a fridge in it which is good
Great service at check-in, very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent sized room, modern decor, clean and comfortable, and nice quiet hotel at night. Free parking at the hotel was great, and there was also easy access for a bus into Edinburgh city centre.
The hotel is located at walking distance from Edinburgh Waverley station and close to the city centre and the Royal Mile. The room was clean and various amenities (coffee, biscuits, bottled water, as well as socket adapters) were provided by the hotel.
Amazingly convenient location: steps away from Edinburgh Castle, with the Royal Mile just outside the front door and Victoria street right behind the unit. The perfect home base for the Old Town area. Unit was spacious, comfortable and beautiful.
