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."

Rough Guide "A glitzy boutique hotel, bar and restaurant that epitomizes the new “gorgeous” George St. A classic Georgian townhouse transformed into a flamboyant design extravaganza."
Time Out "The bedrooms are designed to the hilt... this remains one of the best-loved hotels in the city, to say nothing of its visually opulent bar, restaurant or nightclub." Full review
Frommer's "The 33 rooms and suites ooze sex appeal, seductively outfitted in bright Designers Guild fabrics, bespoke four posters." Full review
