Room was comfortable, a good size and exceptionally well appointed- it had everything we needed and more! Breakfast was good too.
Used face cloth left on sink and half glass of water left by bed.

The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic. I made a mistake in my booking, reserved one night more than I wanted. Initially, the hotel response was very cold and cruel and left me very disappointed. However, the front-office manager, Tania, called me today (one week after I checked out) and she apologised that no other option was offered to me and explained that she was not there at the time to handle this and she actually corrected the booking for me. I appreciate this very much and am now able to confidently state that this hotel's customer service policy at least is very fair and understanding. Perhaps their staff should be more well-trained to avoid the kind of interaction I had, but this is not something I would say is a huge negative aspect. The front-office manager really turned the whole situation around and made me feel valued as a guest. I would gladly visit the hotel again, and recommend it to my colleagues and friends.
The front-desk staff would benefit from more training and preparation to uphold the hotel's wonderful customer service policy.

Breakfast good value for money.
There was no air conditioning in our room - boiling at night with no circulation - then we came in during the day and it was freezing. Kept getting woken up by noises outside - only had the windows open to mitigate the heat - a futile attempt.

Great central location, easy to reach. I had an issue with the first room I was assigned to, and the team quickly checked and reassigned me to a new room which was much appreciated. Great toiletries. Beautiful pictures of Edinburgh as decor.
I hate carpeted rooms and decorative pillows because they're always dirty. I wish British hotels stopped having so much / so many of those, unfortunately Apex is no exception.
