“Apex Waterloo Place Hotel's location is its undeniable strength, a genuine advantage for exploring Edinburgh on foot and with remarkably easy access to the train station, even featuring a discreet shortcut. The rooms, while occasionally lacking in elevated views, are consistently noted for their comfort, particularly the beds and the well-appointed bathrooms with separate tubs and showers. Guests also highlight the excellent spa facilities and a commendable breakfast, adding significant value for those seeking a well-rounded stay.”
