GreeceI loved the style of the hotel. It is charmingly Scottish with its plaid decor. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, always inquiring about our comfort and satisfaction. My favorite was the guest services department, with whom I spent quite a bit of time communicating with before our arrival. They assisted me with planning and organizing our trip to our specific needs. I highly recommend this hotel.

Edinburgh Castle
Stretching down almost 100 feet, this tree-like coral shelf lies in the middle of a beautiful garden of gorgonians. It’s in these plants that the rare pygmy seahorse makes its home – so Amed Wall is your best shot of catching a glimpse. Reef sharks and sea turtles also roam these waters, so there’s no shortage of deep-sea wonders to check out.

Book 2 weeks before you arrive in Edinburg. Do not leave this castle for the end of the trip. Worth going BUT disappointed after seeing 18 castles all over Scotland all more beautiful for different reasons. Over rated

Having a tour guide is recommended and you should plan on starting the tour around midday so that you get to see the canon firing at 1 pm. You do need to be able to walk on cobblestones and walk uphill. Not recommended for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobiity

In order to truly understand a country, it is essential to first become acquainted with its history, as well as its cultural and ethnographic heritage. The tour I took part in at Edinburgh Castle was led by an outstanding guide who skillfully maintained our interest throughout the experience. With a touch of humor, she presented only the most important and noteworthy highlights, making the tour both engaging and informative.

Love it!
Love it! Took us longer than anticipated to walk around due to the crowds, in September. We pre-purchased out tickets for 11 a.m. thinking we'd end with the 1 p.m. gun salute. However, earlier crowds were still there at 11 a.m. and it just got busier and busier. It became tough to really enjoy the exhibits and the interior rooms got quite warm (it was wet the day we were there so we were carrying jackets). There were also lines to get into various spaces. When we left at 2 p.m. the line ups to get in were wild and I can't imagine what their experience would have been like.
I would highly recommend getting your tickets in advance for the earlier time slots, if you really want to enjoy the exhibits around the castle.

Not the most interesting castle. Fabulous views of the city.
Not the most interesting castle. Fabulous views of the city. Most of the interior has been stripped. The Crown jewels were absolutely nothing compared to The Tower of London exhibition. Very unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies all cobbles and slopes. Difficult with a stick. All in all a bit of a tourist trap all around the area.

We saw Edinburgh Castle on our last trip but there is always something new to see. Look for the room with the tapestries hanging from the wall - they took 13.5 years to complete. Missed that last time. There is a lot to see.

Fresh, clean, modern apartment. Quite spacious. Beds were comfortable, shower was amazing. Location couldn’t be better. Easy walk to grassmarket area and the royal mile. There’s a playground right around the corner if you’re traveling with kids. Our apartment had a view of Edinburgh Castle. Owner was very responsive and helpful.

We had an amazing stay at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh. The location is perfect, within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and many great restaurants and bars. The room was stylish, spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The staff were warm, professional, and always happy to help. The hotel has a beautiful design and a great atmosphere, making it one of the best places to stay in Edinburgh. We would definitely come back.

The apartment is very close to Edinburgh Castle and other attraction points. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable for 13 people. The neighborhood is very quite.
We will definitely recommend this to our friends and will consider again if we plan to come back her with large groups.

The hotel is about 10-15 min walk from Waverley station, and mostly flat. Edinburgh castle is within walking distance. Our room is a duplex and very spacious. The beds are comfortable. They allowed luggage storage before and after staying. The hotel has a lift and waiting area at the lobby.

Nice big apartment. Separate bedroom and nice bathroom, housekeeping not a 100%. Very good location. Close to old town and Edinburgh Castle. Also close to Timberbush Tours collection point, compony that you will most likely use for your day tours. Additionally train station at Haymarket is also walking distance from the apartment.

For a location of a hotel stay in Edinburgh, the Apex Grassmarket Hotel cannot be beat. The views out the window looking up to the Edinburgh Castle were epic. The breakfast spread, specialties and staff were all incredibly nice, pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. We were in Edinburgh during a heat wave across the UK and the heat was well above the norm. The hotel staff provided us with two desk fans for our time with them that helped to cool the room down.
