Really nice hotel; very polite, friendly and helpful staff. Room was nice: it had a separate bath and shower. Made full use of the pool (small and oddly shaped, but sufficient for a dip), sauna (which was nice and hot) and gym (small, but top quality technogym equipment and more than enough to get a good workout. Breakfast was also good. Can’t really fault it, other than two single beds pushed together to make a double bed, but they easily slid apart.

Excellent location, just a short walk from Waverley Station, the Royal Mile and Princes Street. The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Though we only stayed one night the Apex Waterloo was a delight. We arrived in the early afternoon, way before check-in but we were upgraded to a two story accommodation that was available immediately (for which we were grateful after a long flight)! We were surprised to find air conditioning. Most hotels in Scotland do not have it and the summer days can get quite warm. The hotel location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. We enjoyed cocktails in the lounge after our day of sightseeing and breakfast was wonderful. The hotel stored our luggage while we toured the castle and unfortunately, we did not have time to enjoy the pool or spa but we will definitely return! Thank you!

Great location room was a little dark . We had to wait till at least 3 pm to check in. Housekeeping wasn't consistent. No one came to clean our room one of the days. We were in a family room and roll away bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was good.

The staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful, and friendly, however lugging suitcases up 82 stairs and a 5min walk from the carpark to the hotel was rather off putting. So we left suitcases in the car. The hotel itself was very clean and well presented, and the room was very clean and spacious, though having twin beds fully made but pushed right together was a new one for us. We specifically chose a bath option, but the overflow on the bath was so low, it made having a nice soak impossible. The bathroom had some black corners, but otherwise it was clean. The room itself was rather stuffy, even with aircon, but thankfully you could still open windows, even on the higher floors. The breakfast was fantastic! Everything presented was delicious, and had so many different options to suit anyone. Though my partner wasn't overly happy with his coffee (att. coffee connoisseurs) Overall it was a nice place, comfy beds, black out curtains and good service.

It was underwhelming - just an ordinary hotel nothing in particular stood out or felt special. We booked a standard twin which turned out a lot smaller than expected but with large bathroom. Think we were put in the accessible room. There were scratches across wardrobe door but ok. Breakfast good, continental was buffet service and you ordered the hot food. In a good central location. Staff were pleasant. One of lifts broken so had to wait a while for working one and once in that one there seemed no logic to which floor it would go to next. All in all it was OK.

If the staff had simply treated me politely during check-out, I probably wouldn’t have written this review. Unfortunately, the receptionist was rude throughout the entire process. She couldn’t even find my suitcase. I had already given her the luggage claim ticket and told her the color, but I still had to go into the luggage room myself and point it out. My room was below the lobby level. Before my stay, I had read reviews from other Asian and people of color guests saying they were often assigned rooms in this area. I didn’t want to believe it, but after my own experience, I couldn’t help feeling the same way. I booked a city-view room, yet my view was mostly garbage bins. The drainage was also poor. Both the shower and sink drained very slowly, a problem that has been mentioned in older reviews but still hasn’t been fixed. I’ve traveled all over the world, and choosing this hotel for my trip to Edinburgh was one of my biggest travel regrets. Reading older reviews, it’s obvious that the same complaints continue to appear and nothing has changed. For context, I am a Korean woman, and the receptionist at check-out also appeared to be Asian. I smiled, spoke politely, and treated her with respect, but that respect was never returned. Considering how much I paid, I expected far better service.

Super convenient to all bus tours right across the street! Hotel is lovely! I will say the furnishings in the room were slightly worn, but everything else was great, clean and super comfortable and roomy! No outlets at the bed side so charging devices was a bit inconvenient, though there are other outlets in the room. Air conditioning was great as we prefer sleeping cool. Elevator could be slow but one is being replaced so only one was in operation. There is an entrance near the train station level which is super convenient. However, we missed this upon arrival as it wasn’t clearly marked that we could see. So watch for it carefully if you’re exiting the train station as it will save you from an inconvenient uphill walk with luggage!! The restaurant is delicious and lovely. I wish there was outdoor seating for dining and relaxing. It is very walkable to many stores and restaurants, but the city in general is VERY hilly. Ubers can take a while but no more than 20 minutes in our experience. Nice bar and lounge seating. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend!

Can't fault them for cleanliness. It's also in a very convenient location. My only complaints are that there was only one working lift which made for long wait times. Second, we were given a disabled room which we are not made aware of It would have been fine except the bathroom was an issue as when taking a shower the entire bathroom floor became soaked. We didn't get to use the restaurant so can't comment on that. Overall, nice place for decent price.
