The hotel is very close to the University of Edinburgh, just a 3-minute walk away. It's a 10-minute walk to Waverley Station if you don't have luggage and can use the main stairs, but if you have heavy bags, it's about a 20-minute walk over the bridge. Rooms are not available until after 3 PM. The room size is small, the bathroom is tiny, and the room cleanliness is average, with dirty floors. The front desk staff were friendly and check-in was quick. Breakfast is served on the third floor, a standard English breakfast with decent quality dishes.

The location was absolutely fantastic. You can easily enjoy all of Edinburgh's attractions within walking distance. I heard there's a charge for luggage storage, though. On the bright side, each bed had two USB ports, which was super convenient for charging. My only slight concern was that the bathrooms and toilets were shared by both men and women. I've only ever stayed in hostels with completely separate facilities, so that felt a little odd. However, overall, it was clean and the staff were really friendly, making my trip to Edinburgh wonderful! Thank you!

This stay exceeded my expectations, definitely five stars! The hotel's location is excellent, making travel incredibly convenient. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and professional; check-in was efficient and quick, and they were very responsive to requests, providing truly attentive service. The room was clean, tidy, and odor-free, with soft and comfortable bedding. The soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, stable water pressure, and full amenities. The overall environment was quiet and elegant, with great attention to detail. It offers incredible value for money, and I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in town. Highly recommended for anyone traveling!

The hotel's location is absolutely unbeatable, just a 2-minute walk from the train station. However, you have to climb about four flights of stairs to reach the lobby, which was a bit tough with luggage. The service was excellent. According to the front desk, there's an elevator that goes directly to the train station entrance, but my English wasn't good enough to find it. I tried again the day before check-out, and a very helpful staff member personally guided us there. I left a note in the room requesting a sheet change and more bottled water, and they wouldn't even accept the tip I left – classic old-school hospitality! These two points definitely deserve a huge thumbs up. I gave the facilities 3 stars because the bed was a bit saggy, and my back was sore after sleeping on it for four nights, but everything else was great.

I’m glad we are booked here Grassmarket as location is fantastic. Hotel is very well equipped with amenities o all good. Service staff are also very friendly and helpful even when busy and attending to several guests at once. Would highly recommend especially for first time tourists to Edinburgh. Only confusion was there are 2 APEX hotels almost next door to each other; make sure you are clear which one you booked.

The location is fantastic, right on the Royal Mile in the heart of the Old Town. The facilities are a bit old-fashioned, but the staff are very friendly. Be aware that the reception can be a bit tricky to find, as it's directly across the street from the actual rooms. Considering it's a hostel, it offers pretty good value for money.

This is a photo I took at my accommodation in Edinburgh. It was only about a one-minute walk from the station, and most of the main tourist attractions were nearby, which made getting around very convenient.
The only surprise was that I didn’t realise it was a triple bunk bed when I booked it. I booked it without thinking much about the bed setup, so I was a bit caught off guard. As a result, I hit my head a few times!
Other than that, everything was fine. Interestingly, the top bunk (third level) actually looked like the best spot.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spotlessly clean, modern, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable night.
I would especially like to commend Callun for his professional and helpful assistance after my check-out. While I was waiting to collect my luggage, he efficiently resolved a minor issue by providing a charging lead for my phone. He also kindly offered me a seating area and a glass of water while I waited.
This level of attentive service is much appreciated. I will certainly choose this hotel again for my future visits to Edinburgh.

The location of the hotel is invincible (the house in the lower right corner of the second picture). Turn right after exiting the Market Street exit of the train station and walk for one minute. You don’t have to worry about carrying large luggage. When you cross the road, you will see Prince Street Park and Waverley Bridge (where the photo was taken). After crossing the bridge, you will see Prince Street. Turn right and walk for 15 minutes to Calton Hill. Turn right and walk for 3 minutes to the Royal Mile. There are many restaurants along the way. It is very close to the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Castle, and the Art Museum. The staff’s service is very good. When they meet people from non-English speaking countries, they will communicate with guests at a very slow speed. It is also very convenient to store luggage. There is also an airport bus at the door of the hotel.

Great
LleonconnieThe room was incredibly spacious, with a separate living room. I'd definitely want to stay here long-term if I visit Scotland again. The room was very quiet, and the living room sofa converts into a bed. All the appliances were high-end brands like Dyson and Smeg. The only downside was the lack of on-site parking. There's an NCP car park under the bridge a bit further down, costing around £25 per night. The hotel is very close to the castle, about a 5-minute walk, and about 10 minutes from the city center. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, which is very convenient.

GGuest UserThe hotel is perfectly situated right on the Royal Mile – the location is absolutely superb! It's just an 8-minute walk from the train station. Be aware that there are some steps along the route, which might be a bit of a workout if you're carrying heavy suitcases.
It's a very family-friendly hotel. The bedroom has a large bed, and the living room sofa converts into a double bed, comfortably accommodating two adults and two children. Our room was incredibly clean, newly renovated, and surprisingly quiet. Even though the Royal Mile is bustling with street performers and activities, we couldn't hear any noise from our room at all.
Having amenities like a washing machine and oven in the room was a huge plus. Just a note: toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers aren't provided as standard. We brought our own dental kit, so we only needed to ask the front desk for slippers.
Breakfast is served à la carte; you order what you like, and top-ups are available if you're still hungry. Edinburgh Castle is a mere 5-minute walk to the right from the hotel's entrance, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby – incredibly convenient!

SSMarieI really enjoyed my four days. Wonderful hotel the team was very friendly and helpful at all times of the day. Great location easy to get to from the Station/airport. Good trams service along Princes Street. Plenty of buses along South Bridge which is a short walk. Enjoyed the spa facilities especially the swimming pool. The lounge near the reception area is a little chilly but a nice spot to relax with a warm drink. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would recommend.
Rooms
Good size room, fantastic shower and products. Bed was very comfortable. It was a tad cold so I requested a blanket which was very snug. Bonus having a fridge and complimentary water nice touch. Tea/coffee try was good but would be great to have some hot chocolate.
Nearby activities
Holyrood Palace and gardens on your doorstep along with great views of Arthur Seat. Five minutes walk to the Royal Mile.
Food and drinks
There is a restaurant and bar in the hotel. I found the food a bit hit and miss to be honest. Breakfast is great with a great choice in food for all palettes. Warm friendly service.

AAnonymous UserThe location is excellent, very close to all attractions. The service was good; every staff member I encountered was smiling and very welcoming. The biggest problem was the strange, disgusting smell throughout the hallway and especially in the room. Despite ventilating the room every night during my stay, it still smelled fishy.

CCleo.C.Ideal location within budget
I used to study in Edinburgh uni and my student hall is right opposite - that’s why we chose here
The value is pretty good but I won’t give it 10/10 Here are the reasons
1. The towels have fluff coming out all the time
2. Bathroom hand wash sink doesn’t go down properly
3. Shower pressure fairly low
4!! The WiFi!! There’s barely any connection within our room. The 5G got down to 4G on 1-2 bar so even we use our own data is very slow…
The wifi gets way better in the Lobby and in public corridors but who wants to chill in the lobby after a whole day of walking…
My husband got severe dry eye symptoms at the end of the trip (it may not have something to do with the hotel but he wakes up every single night)
The hotel has very good amenities that benefits every member who stays. but within the room i can always figure out something that doesn’t match up the 4star hotel standard things.

GGuest UserSuch an unpleasant experience staying at this hotel. The front desk staff, Pavels, was unprofessional and displayed ****** behavior — treating our group (Chinese) very differently from other guests.
We booked two Superior King rooms with 1.8m beds, but one was significantly smaller (around 1.3–1.5m) and even had a bent toilet seat. This is unacceptable for the category we booked.
The only positives were the polite room service staff and the fresh apples in the lobby.

SSuomijp2Super recommend!!! It was truly clean, modern, comfortable, convenient and everything was there that you will need. It was really amazing place to stay. I wish I could stay longer if I don’t have any plan after this. Bath amenities were also provided, kitchen had everything, washing and drying machines was good. If you open the drawer of mirror-desk, you can find the guide book.
This place is the best to stay in Edinburgh.

AAdr8I stayed at a&o Edinburgh Hostel for 4 nights, from 9 June to 13 June, in a private 4-bed room with an ensuite bathroom.
The check-in experience got off to a poor start when I was informed that the lift was out of order. Unfortunately, my room was on the 5th floor, meaning I had to carry luggage and climb five flights of stairs throughout my stay.
The room itself was functional and reasonably comfortable, but the bathroom is in desperate need of refurbishment. The sliding shower door was broken and felt like it could come off its hinges at any moment. The shower floor was also visibly cracked. To make matters worse, the bathroom uses a motion-sensor light that does not detect movement inside the shower area, so the lights repeatedly switched off while showering.
The blackout curtains were ineffective because they were too narrow to fully cover the window. Since there is no air conditioning in the hostel, the windows had to be left open for ventilation. Unfortunately, this meant enduring constant and often very loud noise from outside, making it difficult to rest.
What disappointed me most, however, was the service from one particular receptionist — a bald gentleman with a lip piercing. While the rest of the staff were friendly, helpful and professional, this employee's attitude was remarkably indifferent and bordered on rude.
When my key card stopped working, my family was left waiting outside our room on the 5th floor while I ran downstairs to seek assistance. Rather than acknowledging the urgency of the situation, he abruptly told me to stand aside and wait while he continued checking in another guest. After waiting several minutes, he reprogrammed the card, but it still did not work. I then had to make another trip down five flights of stairs to ask for further help.
This time, I was told that I would have to wait until he had checked in three more groups before he could assist me again. Considering my family was stranded outside the room and the issue had not been resolved, I found this response completely unacceptable and lacking in basic customer service. Thankfully, another staff member stepped in and helped resolve the problem quickly.
To be fair, every other member of staff I encountered during my stay was pleasant, courteous and genuinely helpful. Unfortunately, the attitude and conduct of this one employee left a lasting negative impression and significantly detracted from the overall experience.
Overall, a&o Edinburgh offers functional accommodation in a convenient location, but the property is showing signs of wear and maintenance issues need attention. Combined with inconsistent customer service, my stay was average at best.

The location is superb, with excellent transport links and plenty of convenient dining and shopping options nearby. It's also very close to the Royal Mile and the castle. The breakfast was a standard English fare, but it was certainly substantial and kept us full.

Great location at a good price, in Edinburgh you will be outside most of the day in this great city so you just need a comfortable sleep at a good location which this hotel provides as it's at the tip of the royal mile and only few mins walk to Waverley bridge where you can get the airport express bus and also the train station, rooms have good Balmoral view
Just avoid the corner rooms cuz they have sluggish internet connection
