Apex Grassmarket Hotel
The family rooms have a phenomenal view of the castle, they are a good size & over all they are clean. They appear to have a little mold problem in the windows & bathroom, and the rooms could use a little touch up. The staff is friendly & there is parking on-site which is a plus.

Room was old, small, fire detector falling off ceiling, towel heating bar bad location and can burn yourself coming out of tiny shower. incredible view, pictures in booking were not even close to what the actual room looked like - bath and switch.
