Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

.

Close to train station and short walk to old city. Friendly service, good bar but pool smaller than pictures suggest. Would go back.

This is an ideal location when staying in Edinburgh with many amenities within an easy walk and several very good restaurants within a block or two. The hotel restaurant and separate bar are also very pleasing to be in and with excellent food and drink (flights of Scotch!!!). But above all, the staff, whether front desk, bar, restaurant -- across the board -- were unbelievably helpful and very, very nice. They made us feel that Scots may be the friendliest people on the planet!

Loved this hotel! Wish we stayed longer than 2 nights. Great location close to lots of shopping and dining. The breakfast at the cafe downstairs was AMAZING! Irine at the front desk was super nice and accommodating. Loved that we were able to have our luggage held before and after our stay. We will return.

Convenient location. Great front desk. Clean rooms.

Nice location. Clean room.

It was great, even got offered same room as 8 years ago. An excellent base for castle, palace, royal mile and McEwans Hall

Check in was great.

Great location

Great location, just a 5 min walk from the metro - and theres actually a sneaky way that makes it even closer that we didnt know about til we left - they have an elevator that goes down below the bridge where theres no foot traffic making walking w/luggage a breeze and goes straight to the train station. They had a full restaurant and offered an AYCE order off the menu breakfast at a very reasonable price - 18 euros a person i think? Comfortable bed, nice soaking tub. Tub and shower are separate so you can enjoy a Japanese style bath if you wanted. Only downside is that the room i got was a "city view" and our view was just a brick walk. We joked about how bc the room came with photographs of the city on their walls that that was made it "city view" lol. However, we don’t travel to just look out the window of our hotel. We wanna get out there! I'd just say dont bother paying more for a room that claims to have a view. I'm sure some do but you may not be so lucky. Again, location was great. Not only dist to metro but to the heart of Edinburgh- minutes from Calton Hill w/a great view of the city and all the shops/restaurants/castle.

Apex Waterloo is a fantastically located hotel as so many things Edinburgh has to offer is within walking distance: Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, Holyrood, and more. The parking garage is right around the corner and there is a large indoor shopping mall in the same vicinity. Our room was comfortable enough for three (two adults and one 11-year old), with my daughter sleeping on a pullout couch. The shower was large and the water warm. The only thing about the hotel we didn't prefer was the dining experience. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive, so no issues there, but we weren't fans of the food itself. It may be how scrambled eggs are prepared in Scotland, but they aren't what we're used to as we cook ours longer. But, I feel food experiences are a bit more personal than other aspects of travel so I'm aware others will have differing opinions. Overall, I feel this hotel is a great option when staying in Edinburgh and would recommend this to others in the future. My wife and I have already discussed staying there again when we return. Enjoy your stay!

Centraal gelegen, van alle gemakken voorzien, allerlei faciliteiten, ruime kamer, vriendelijk personeel

Rezeption bei Ankunft hilfsbereit, bei Abreise gleichgültig. Zimmer: Superior Kingbed. Eine Enttäuschung im 7.Zwischengeschoss. Groß, aber Türen abgeschlagen (Bad, Schrank). Sessel: Polster abgerieben. Im Bad unterm Waschzubehörkorb schwarzer Dreck,. Fließen, vorallem am Duschboden dreckig bzw. schwarz, z.T. zersprungen. RENOVIERUNG NÖTIG! Frühstück gut. Kontinental mit Käse, Gebäckteilen und der Möglichkeit, warme Eierspeisen zu bestellen Porridge schmeckt nach nix. Lage: günstig. Schlecht: keine Parkplätze. Parkhaus Omni (in dem Autorennen stattfinden) um die Ecke. Das Hotel hat eine Connection mit diesem, wenn man sich vorher online anmeldet, gibt es einen Nachlass.

Anastasia greeted us and helped us with parking and luggage and made us feel particularly welcome. Everyone at the hotel is well trained in customer service and helping guests to be comfortable. The location is great, food is fine, would return.

Air condition not working properly. Towels small and toiletries weren’t adequate. Location is great. Would only stay one night if needed for a quick stay. Would not stay again.

Another excellent stay- hotel is friendly, very convenient for station, shops, walking around the city. Rooms spacious, spotlessly clean, and quiet even with heavy traffic around - the double glazing really works. Breakfast good.

I found the front of house staff extremely helpful and kind.

なんといっても交通の便がよいところが一番でしょう。料金的にもお手頃なのだと思います。 ①0階に行くと裏に出られ、駅まですぐ。 ②バスステーションが近く、ツアーを使う場合も便利。 ③エディンバラ城やロイヤルマイルまで徒歩で行くことができ、街歩きにも最適。 ④ショッピングセンターが近くにあり便利。

Good location - nice bar and good amenities. We didn’t use them but we looked at the pool and gym - both were great. Nice Bar and excellent breakfast. Kind of pricey for breakfast but worth it if you like to start the day with a meal.

Excellent room and overall service
