Michelin Guide "Boutique hotel featuring unique modern murals and dark wood, wine-themed bedrooms; located close to the Royal Mile."
Star Service "Located in a former asylum that was once the city's most feverish prison, this is one of those places that earns its respect from the dining function." Full review
Frommer's "This boutique chain revolving around, and reveling in, wine seems as inspired an idea today as it was when the first property opened in 1994." Full review

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."
