Time Out "The four guestrooms above Paul Kitching's restaurant, which opened here in spring 2009, have the same visual panache as his celebrated cooking." Full review
Afar Magazine "21212 hotel is a regal and refined restaurant with rooms in Edinburgh, where grand Georgian design meets its match in the kitchen."
Fodor's "In a grand Georgian house, the restaurant is sumptuously appointed. Belle époque decor and quirky cultlery makes this a perfect destination for couples, who should ask for a romantic...window table." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"Rooms that are as striking as the food, displaying a sometimes surprising but always sensual contemporary/baroque style and unexpectedly leafy views. A low-key location for a high-octane operation." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "21212 Restaurant and Rooms hotel in Edinburgh with its four rooms might be small, but it has loads on offer." Full review
Independent "Their vision was to marry the best of Scottish produce with refined, if slightly eccentric, hospitality, carving out a unique space in the capital. No one has done it better since."

Lonely Planet "Centrally located and with good business facilities, the 171-room Apex has stylish, modern décor, large, luxurious bedrooms, a rooftop restaurant and great views of the castle."
Rough Guide "This ex-university building turned 175-bed business-oriented hotel has comfortable rooms, some with views to the Castle. Faces the happening Grassmarket."
Time Out "This 1996 debut venture from Apex was refurbished and extended just a couple of years later; more than a decade on, it remains a slick, contemporary venue in a brilliant location." Full review
Star Service "This value-focused hotel competes on its own level thanks to a plethora of amenities and a convenient location not far from Edinburgh Castle." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Not to be confused with the nearby Apex Edinburgh City hotel, this sibling has a gym, swimming pool and slightly better views." Full review
