“Outstanding Accommodation in the Heart of the City”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

Booked an overnight break to brighten a winter weekend- and what a gem I found. Less than 2 minutes from the station, wonderful, attentive staff, fabulous room, fantastic value, a lovely relaxing pool and sauna in the basement and a hearty breakfast to set you up for a busy day in the Capital-Perfect!

“noisey room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

this was our second stay but last. booked a superior room on upper floor which we got but vent from windows missing so room cold and very noisey. top tip make sure you have plenty to drink or no chance of sleep. i go to edinburgh regularly but will try somewhere else next time. styed room only so cant comment on food. there must have been a night club below due to noise and we were on 10th floor!

“Kevin Morris frequent business traveller”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

I have travelled to Edinburgh on business for the last 5 years and it wasnt until i started staying at the Apex Waterloo Place hotel, that i really found a hotel i enjoyed visiting.

I have always found the staff that work there most helpful and nothing seems too much trouble

The rooms are excellent value for money as well as excellent quality

“Nice Hotel, Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We've stayed in this hotel a few times now. The location is excellent, easy walking distance from Waverley train station and also situated right at the end of Princes St.
We booked a package on the Apex web site which included breakfast on Sunday morning and a £10 spend voucher for use in the bar or Spa. We tried to book a Spa treatment on arrival but all treatments seemed to be booked, I think it's a good plan to book this in advance.

Room Tip: We went for breakfast at 10am on Sunday morning and had to queue for 30 minutes. Had we not per paid...
