This hotel ticked all the boxes for a work related hotel. The staff were brilliant, rooms were of a high standard, location was ideal for central Edinburgh. Thoroughlty recommend this as the best hotel I've stayed in the UK

The service was friendly and good. Food was excellent and well presented. However we felt that the room (with a very high ceiling) had inadequate lighting. There was no strong main lighting just several side lights. The bathroom was excellent with a really good shower. It is quite disconcerting to have reception on floor 5 and your room on floor...

We tried to get into the Balmoral and The Scotsman but because we booked late were unable to get a room either place. So we "settled" on the Apex Waterloo and were delighted that we did. From the very first moment we encountered Linda the Bellman/ Concierge and all of the other staff over our two night stay we felt... More

Service polite, friendly and professional. Room very comfortable and clean. Large bathroom and bath. Shower a bit weak to be honest, but perfectly adequate. Breakfast service was good and good range of options.

Nice room and very friendly and helpful staff. Free breakfast was nice but not great having come from Asia where they have an exhaustive array of breakfast treats. Seems to me that scrambled eggs should be free, but that's just me. The hotel was absolutely clean and located in a very nice location adjacent to a lot of very cool... More

Room very nice and well laid out, very spacious as was the bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was one of the best Ive had; not a buffet job, but to order and everything hot. Eggs fresh as was the haggis.

We stayed here as part of a Great Rail Tour and found the hotel was close to city centre, Waverley train station, modern hotel but old world exterior. Tge rooms were clean, large and had all modern facilites. The staff were friendly & helpful. The food for dinner and breakfast was great. Thanks for great stay.

First time to Edinburgh. Hotel we excellent. Very nice, clean and in a great location to explore the city. Very close to the rail station so no cabs required! We were traveling with one of our grown children and they had the room already setup for 3 as requested. Would highly recommend this hotel!

We had a nice stay at Apex Waterloo Place hotel. Little disappointed with room. Need to improve in Housekeeping--Specially bathroom, found hair in bathroom. Need to clean shower floor with strong cleaner to remove build up between tiles (grouts). Overall, it was good experience.
