"Prestonfield House is like an oasis in central Edinburgh. It is a beautifully maintained period house with nice grounds. The staff were excellent. I had a party of Thai friends for dinner and they loved both the atmosphere and the dinner itself. "
"Property is dated and the bare minimal was provide in terms of amenities (such as no basic seasoning (no salt or black pepper). One garbage bag to last 4 days for 8 guests."
"The property was always neat and clean. The property staff paid attention to details and provided lots of helpful information about transportation, food options, and laundry services. The WiFi services were great and transportation stops were close by. Lovely and cozy guest house and the area around it."
"We stayed at this Guesthouse on 2 separate nights. We were able to check in early and staff were very polite and considerate.
Beautiful old property just needs a little refresh."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Ideal for attending the Tattoo!
Second time we’ve stayed here though the hike in prices for this weekend is eye-watering!"
"The hotel room provided exactly what was promised on the website, a clean, well equipped space that gave us a comfy retreat from the rigours of the fringe. It's excellently placed, never more than twenty minutes walk from most venues, and despite being in the heart of Fringeland it was quiet and peaceful inside.
The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful, doing everything they could to make the stay go well."
"Easy check in, clean and well kept accommodations. Friendly and inclusive staff. Nifty old building. Nice vibes throughout. Convenient location.
I stayed in a private room so cannot speak for the dorms, however, our room was satisfactory, cool and comfy.
I stayed only 1 quick night so wasn’t able to enjoy any activities besides sleeping, but they seem to have schedules of things going on in (or around?) the hostel.
Would recommend if you want to stay close to the city centre and want to be around other travellers. You can choose between shared dorm rooms or private rooms. "
"Excellent and friendly welcome, room was checked over before giving us the keys, answered our questions (regarding public transport to Edinburgh).
Good night’s sleep, comfortable and quiet.
Good continental breakfast in the morning was good, with good service, option of coffees which where brought to the table.
Would recommend this hotel, not large but good."
