Star Service
"This modern, yet unpretentious hotel is similar in quality to the Carlton and bears an equally precious downtown locale although without the views of the castle-facing rooms in the Apex International."

"The ideal choice for party animals. It’s fun and funky, albeit compact and snug, and right in the midst of the raucous stag and hen do-packed pubs of the Grassmarket. "

Top Choice
"An endearingly quirky hotel set in a historic Grassmarket tenement in the heart of the Old Town."
