...taxi had arrived outside the Balmoral Hotel on Princes Street. This hotel is No1 Princes Street! The very first hotel you come to at the East End of Princes Street. It is a very posh exclusive hotel which I never guessed I would spend my wedding night in. Hubby is a plumber/gas engineer and has done a lot of work in this hotel and decided this was the place to stay. He had asked for a specific suite over looking Edinburgh Castle, but it was not ...
...a suite which overlooked the East End of Princes Street and Waterloo Place. We went in one door and I could not believe that it was a sitting room. The TV was on in the sitting room too. The message read 'Welcome Mr and Mrs D Carlisle!' My heart just melted. I went for a wander. I found a cupboard that turned out to be a shower. It was down the hallway which linked the sitting area to the bedroom. The bedroom had the BIGGEST bed I had ever seen. ... Read review

...located for getting in to Edinburgh city centre and is extremely close to the Zoo. The room layout was perfect for a family with small children. The room was clean, well-appointed and a good size. The pool in particular was a great facility for us, and we probably would have used it more if the weather hadn't been so good. Slight sleepers may have found the traffic noise disturbed them but the double glazing was efficient and this didn't affect ... Read review

The Apex city Hotel is the most central of the three Apex hotels in Edinburgh. Situated in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle and across from the lively Grassmarket. The Apex City is perhaps most suited to the business traveller. Upon arrival, the staff were friendly, if perhaps unattentive.

...overlooking the Edinburgh castle. The Apex International hotel has two restaurants, one on the ground floor and another one, the Heights, on the 5th floor, overlooking the castle. The food at the Heights is refined and well cooked, Scottish cuisine at its best, and it can claim a AA Rosettes certificate. Although the food was good I wasn't impressed by the restaurant's atmosphere. The room was a square box with no much decoration or colours, used ... Read review
