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

Perfect location. Good breakfast. Nice pool/sauna area. My room was very spacious and the soaking tub was really nice. Decent value for the price. I would stay again; I am pretty happy with the Apex brand.

This hotel is ideally situated for those among us whom enjoy a good roam around a town or city and don't have to worry about driving and, worse, parking. We arrived by bus from the airport (3 more cheers for Virgin Atlantic Little Red) which dropped us off at Waverley Station. The Hotel is a couple of minutes trudge to... More
