"Great location - close to Waverly and a short walk to the main sights while being far enough away to be quiet. Plenty of bars and restaurants in the surrounding blocks as well as a Boots for any quick pick up needs. The hotel was beautiful, well equipped, and the staff were very helpful. We will definitely stay again if we are in Edinburgh."
"Bed was comfortable. Everything very clean. Took a few tries to get into the unit (didn’t know we had to lean extra heavily into door to open). Location was great. Within walking of everything we wanted to see. If we return to Edinburgh in the future we will check here first for our place to stay. "
"Loved the homey apartment that fit our whole family (7) in one location. So easy to get around and very helpful and professional staff. Definitely a great place to stay!"
"We stayed for 3 nights at the end of June ~ hotel is located within a walk to Royal Mile and is located on a quiet street. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Would stay here again."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful but I felt the AC unit was automatically going higher every time I have to lower it so I can feel cool air .. other than that very much recommend for anyone who want to stay in Scotland... "
"We had a great stay here! We loved our room and the amenities in it. We also loved how close the hotel was to the city center and we were able to walk everywhere. We look forward to staying again in the future! "
"The hotel is in a great central location for walking. I woman at the front desk was just absolutely amazing. Friendly and helpful and a great sense of humor. Her name was Bee for short. The room was nice. The interesting part was the hotel is older and is not equipped with AC. They put portable AC units in the room and vent them thru the window. They also put an oscillating fan in the room as well. I was curious as to how this was going to play out. It went great. The room stayed cold. I mean cold not cool. We stayed in the summer months. The room was spacious, and bed was comfortable. So even with the window open slightly to allow venting from the AC we didn't get any street sounds up into the room. The area is quiet at night. No issues at all and they had black out curtains as well. "
"Very clean and absolutely the best staff. Rooms are huge the buffet that is offered for breakfast is worth the money. Very close to the Royal Mile making Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood an easy walk. It is a 9 minute walk to the Waverly Bridge Airlink stop. Making it easy to get to and from the airport."
"Great location. The breakfast is really good. Staff is very helpful at the front desk. There’s even a place to do your laundry in the basement. I really like this place. It’s a lot cheaper than a hotel."
