If you require a room safe book a premium room as they’re not in the standard rooms, your only other option is putting your valuables in a safe at the checkin desk. We were under the impression that all rooms had safes installed when we booked this hotel. They upgraded us to premium room. We had breakfast in the restaurant the food was very good with the exception of the beacon which was dripping in lots of grease everything else on the menu was excellent. We had a nice stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it to friends

Perfectly located hotel with spacious rooms!
Lovely stay at the Apex hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Was so pleased with the location, right in the middle of the old town, and only a 10 minute walk to Princes Street. Lots of fab restaurants located just a few minutes away. The breakfast at the hotel is also really good and great value for money, would definitely recommend doing this. Thanks so much, and we hope to return!
