We stayed here for two nights in May. The location is very good, close to the Royal Mile and withing walking distance to the Edinburgh Castle. Our room was small but attractive with modern furnishings. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were over-priced. I would stay here again. More

All I can say about this hotel is I really, really like it. My wife and I have stayed in this hotel on two occassions and we plan to stay in it again this year. We usually stay during comedy festival which can be busy time of year but we find this is great location to operate from. It is... More

We have just returned from a weekend in Edinburgh to celebrate two big family milestone birthdays (one 85 and one 90 year old!). The Apex Waterloo Place was great from start to finish, lovely building, beautiful rooms, great food. We ate in the (small and can be noisy) bar on the Friday evening, and had dinner in the restaurant, where... More

This hotel was a delight in all ways - beautiful old exterior, very modern interior, great location, special 'extra' touches in very well appointed and very clean rooms and extremely helpful staff. More

My husband and I stayed at here for a weekend in March. A beautiful hotel, immaculately clean with great service. Location was fab as you are a stones throw from prince's street. Leisure club was, as the rest of hotel, nicely designed and quite unique. I found this hotel quite different to others in terms of contemporary in an old... More

The hotel is in good location and service is generally satisfactory. I particularly like the room - of good space. While I don't think it is anywhere closer to five stars, it remains a good choice for a budget business trip. More

We have stayed in many different hotels in Edinburgh over the years but this was truly exceptional. It was a special family occasion so there were six of and we had three rooms booked. All were perfect. Great position. Lovely old exterior but beautifully modernised interior. Friendly and efficient staff with Lady concierge making you feel welcome. Bar area spacious... More

Stayed here with my girlfriend on a long-weekend, very happy with the selection. The location is great, in New Town at the end of Princess Street. Quiet, but still only a short walk to pubs and shopping. And even better, just next to the most beautiful green area in Edinburgh, Calton Hill. Perfect for views, history and also for running...

Spent 3 nights in this hotel last week. My husband chose it from the internet and we were very pleased with it. It is very convenient for Waverley Station and the bus stops for the Airport Link buses and not really that far from anything. The check in and check out were both very efficient and on each occasion that... More

Stayed for one night in an upgraded room on 8th floor. It was lovely, everything you would expect from a 4 star hotel. Good shower, modern decor and comfortable beds. It was really quiet and we had a good nights sleep. The bar downstairs was nice and the restaurant worth a visit. Our meal there was lovely. The staff are... More
