Wonderful stay
I visited Edinburgh with a friend and chose to stay at Apex as it was located in the old town. It was extremely easy to find, so close to the main streets, restaurants, cafés. We had a lovely room, great amenities and the added bonus was the fact that we could fill our water bottles from the facility in the hallway. Thank you Apex, we will return.
