“Grassmarket's castle stay”
Beside the castle and sights — Victoria Street's local bars nearby, the museum and landmarks close, a well-rated breakfast spot downstairs and a big as-advertised car park — Apex Grassmarket Hotel is an absolutely spectacular stay for many: an amazing castle-view room, a good breakfast, good cleaning, nice staff and a take-home rubber duck. A severe dissent though: one stay found the photos far off reality, terrible cleanliness, a motel-feeling room, face-smelling bedding, no slippers and a rate not matching the experience.
