Details break the first impression

Advantages: Centrally located
Disadvantages: could be better for 4 stars hotel

...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 ...

Review of Apex International Hotel, Edinburgh

Stylish country in Edinburgh city

Advantages: Quiet, friendly, superb hospitality
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...about bus routes out to Channings, we took a taxi from the Railway Station and it cost around 6 GBP). Perhaps if you go on to its site you may learn about buses: www.channings.co.uk (On the subject of the price - I went into the internet after writing this and found that on Sunday 30 September the twin room would be 120GBP and there are specials for Saturday and Sunday nights so I can only deduce that my higher price was for the rugby weekend!) ...

Review of Channings, Edinburgh

Apex City Hotel

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Business like feel - possible noise from nearby pubs.

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. Had requested a top floor room as noise can be an issue due to the prevalence of pubs across the road - instead was placed at the rear of the hotel. Very quite indeed, ...

Review of Apex City, Edinburgh

A castle fit for a princess

Advantages: Sheer luxury, fantastic food, everything about it
Disadvantages: No lifts

...get your first glimpse of Dalhousie Castle you know you're in for something special. The hotel sits on its own and in daylight looks beautiful, at night, lit up by the lights in the ground, its breathtaking. Dalhousie is a 13th century castle steeped in history and situated in acres of forest and parkland beside the River Esk Bonnyrigg, around 20 minutes drive from Edinburgh, close enough if you want to visit the city but far enough away to feel ...
...a smaller wedding. Dalhousie seems to be a very popular place for a wedding and its understandable why. There are 2 function rooms on the first floor which usually have a wedding on. And ofcourse no Scottish Castle wedding would be complete without a piper, and Dalhousie provide one :-) THE ROOMS ------------------ So to the rooms..... the bedrooms are split over several levels, the DeRamsia Suite (honeymoon suite) is on the lower ground with ...

Review of Dalhousie Castle Luxury Country Hotel, Edinburgh

Go on, treat yourself...

Advantages: Modern, Luxurious, All the comforts you could need
Disadvantages: Not right in the centre of Edinburgh

...spent a night at the Malmaison, Leith (nr Edinburgh) and I have to say it's one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Location: Ok it's not right in the centre of Edinburgh, it's at Leith Docks, but it's easily accessible by car and avoids the hassle of driving in the city centre. It costs around £5 to get a taxi into the city centre from the hotel. The car park is closed at the moment, but there's free parking around the hotel and we had no problems ...
...cheap deal on lastminute.com for £95 for a superior double room. The hotel's own rate is more expensive (over £200 per night) The Room: Our room was on the top floor with a great view of the redeveloped dock area. There are no long corridors with lots of rooms, you feel private and hidden away - our room being up a winding staircase. The room itself was huge with four sash windows, the bed was also massive and very, very comfy! The decor and furnishings ...
