Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"It was perfect to stay here in a very busy August 2026. No need for jumpers this year! We never even looked at the pool as we were enjoying being out and about watching fringe ‘things’. Great location and lovely staff, Really appreciated the air con and the fluffy bath towels. Very comfortable bed. The bistro looked amazing but the breakfast was just OK. Didn’t care much for the coffee machine and the choice of pastries was limited, especially with such wonderful bakery’s on the door step."
