By Rail:
Waverley Station sits below Princes Street, on the opposite side of the castle from the Grassmarket. It is a 10 minute walk to the hotel, however with the climb over a hill we would suggest catching a taxi from any of the taxi ranks within or around the station.
By Car:
- The simplest way to find the hotel is to head towards Princes Street, Edinburgh’s main shopping street.
- Once at the west end of Princes Street, near House of Fraser department store, turn south into Lothian Road.
- Once on Lothian Road, make the 1st left turn into King Stable Road.
- Follow this road straight along and you will arrive in the Grassmarket where the Apex City will be on the right hand side of the road.
