Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Beautifully presented property in the heart of historic Edinburgh. Rooms are well presented, clean and modern. The public areas preserve the history of the building while updating with modern amenities. The staff are helpful and friendly and the breakfast is outstanding. The only thing to be aware of is that the parking (in a public building) is a reasonable distance away. Other than that this hotel is well worth a visit, we will return."
