Stayed for 1 night in May 2013. Great room and location but best of all was the service. After checking out and leaving our suitcases (no problem at all) we returned soaking (Scottish weather) and were given keys to the spa and told we could use all the facilities to freshen up. Suitcases were then taken back and stored and... More

Good hotel in close proximity to Waverley train station. We stayed for one night mid week to attend the theatre and enjoyed a very good pre-theatre meal with excellent service. Breakfast service was not as good - waiting staff were not very attentive but food was good. Room was very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed in The Wellington suite. Great place to stay. Staff were very friendly from the moment you walked into the hotel to when you left. Everybody from the cleaners upwards were very helpful. Breakfast is very good. The room was very comfortable and the separate walk in shower and bathroom great. Nice little touches in the room. Bed very comfortable.... More

Excellent city centre hotel. An oasis a few steps away from Princes Street. Compares well with many more expensive 'luxury' hotels- cant fault our stay here. Lovely spa/pool too. Would like to come back.

I was there for approximately a week, earlier this month. The hotel was nice, with modern rooms and good staff. The rooms (bed, showers, pilows etc) were very comfortable and quiet. My only negative critique was i spent one night in a room thats directly below the lounge (327) and could hear footsteps and moving furniture through the ceiling at... More

The Waterloo is situated at the east end of Princess Street. Easy access to the shops, Waverley Station, to St James Centre & the Playhouse cinema out the back. It's a decent enough hotel, but it's largely outgunned by the Apex International (and even the Apex City) with their Grassmarket views of the Castle. Our rooms in the Waterloo, overlooking... More

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel was great! The check-in staff was friendly and gave us helpful advice on nearby pubs. Room did not have a view; however, it was extremely spacious and comfortable. Beds were fantastic and the bathroom was excellent with a deep tub and large shower. We did not try the restaurant but it looked very good and was... More

We recently stayed in the Apex waterloo hotel for a weekend. Our overall experience was good. The rooms were clean and the staff very helpful .On the downside our room was a near an air conditioning fan which resulted in a disturbed sleep. The mirror in the bathroom was also cracked and a makeshift repair with some sticky tape had... More

This was our second time staying at the Apex Waterloo and we wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting Edinburgh. From check-in to check-out, everyone we encountered were extremely helpful with beautiful rooms and fantastic location. Thanks to everyone for making our stay so special, we will be back.

Does what it says! No frills, no fuss, breakfast was good, rooms are pretty small and the lower floors are a bit dark and gloomy, pool was puddle sized but ok for kids. Staff were lovely and helpful and the showers in the rooms were good. TV had a life of it's own and we could only get the irish... More
