This hotel was very poor value. It is far from a 4 star hotel more like a 2 star hotel. Lift was broken on arrival, the carpets are old and dirty. The room was very small and cramped with no air conditioning and windows that don’t open properly. The cleaning service consisted of leaving dirty cups in our room and... more

Staff is warm and friendly. I appreciated 40" flat screen TV (though lousy stations) and free Internet (make sure you get your access card at the desk). BUT. The hotel mispreresents its location to city centre; it's not anywhere close: you must take busses or ruin your back and risk getting lost. Warning: crescent row houses, street work everywhere, poor... more

I stayed 3 nights at the Apex Waterloo Hotel and 1 night a few days later in the Apex European. After my wonderful stay in the Waterloo, I was VERY disappointed by the Apex European Hotel. The Waterloo hotel is clean, modern, roomy, well kept, and centrally located while the European exhibits none of these traits. The elevator is still... more

I stayed here for one night in Edinburgh after arriving for a weeklong drive around Scotland. Its about a 15-minute walk to the center of town & Edinburgh Castle. The staff was very friendly & willing to take care of any needs we had. The elevator was out of order but they did offer to have someone carry our bags... more

I read all the reviews of this hotel before I travelled so wasn't expecting anything special. For the price charged, it should be of a good standard but it is let down in a couple of areas. The room was quite small with not a huge amount of space, but it was well decorated, with a modern look to it.... more

I would say it was good value for money to stay in this hotel. Walking to old city was not too bad and the room was clean and comfortable. The traffic noise can be a problem for someone, but that was not too bad either. I could go again. more

Apex hotels have a great name in Scotland, but this one is getting old and is a bit abandoned. The rooms are small, too hot, have no aircon, the windows dont open, the beds are collapsed (like sleeping in a hammock) and the whole place feels a bit tired. The lift had been borken for a week when we were... more

We are currently in the process of replacing mattresses in all our bedrooms and we will shortly be replacing the carpets in all our public areas, as well as some improvement works in...

Booked this hotel as it was advertised as a 4* "Hidden Gem". What a let down. The hotel was tired and shabby with basic facilities, little ventilation (there was no air conditioning and bedroom windows had limited opening of about 3 inches) and the sole lift was out of commission. There was no hairdryer in the room and wardrobe space... more

This was poor value. Sold to our company as 4 star. Lift was broken on arrival, our rooms were third floor. The room was very small and cramped. The bathroom was equally small. The storage space for clothes was a cupboard for the ironing board with a rail to hang clothes on. There was no air conditioning and no hair... more
