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 ...
