They are working on the elevators and it's a bit slow moving around the facility, but the staff were terrific about trying to help.

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG
Great location, restaurants nearby are pretty good, close enough to the touristy spots a nice walk can get you there but removed enough to not be in the middle of it all. The rooms are updated, bathrooms might need an update but i was surprised with the hotel overall.

Apex Grassmarket Hotel
The restaurant is very good. The quality and taste is outstanding. Reserve the room with breakfast and it will be worth it. As for my room, the bathroom could use some remodeling because some of the grout has come off or has black mold. The closet doors also do not close properly. Staff were hospitable ...

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Room and washrooms were clean! Staff were friendly and the events were great. Could use a common room as the restaurant/lobby got crowded easily, but I know common room is coming soon!
