I can only tell you about our New Year's Eve dinner and dance at this hotel, which was DELIGHTFUL! Well, the food was so-so, but the setting, the band, the disco, atmosphere, location and staff welcome were all excellent. Even our family baby's place at the table was decked out with NewYear's decorations and favours, added to his high chair.... More

Debated between several hotels when booking my trip. Decided on Apex Waterloo. Perfect location to explore both the old and new town. Clean facilities, large rooms, friendly helpful staff who go out of their way to welcome you and make your trip more enjoyable. Would definately stay here again if back in Edinburgh. I saw the other places I considered... More

Room and hotel clean and comfortable. Excellent location. Housekeeping and reception staff very helpful, let down by bar staff who were more interested in their own discussions rather than tending to customers. Bar food was average and quite pricey, however breakfast was excellent. Spa not great.

There's not much I can say about this hotel that hasn't already been said, very centrally located, beautiful room, good leisure facilities and friendly efficient service. Looking for an excuse to go to Edinburgh so that I can stay there again.

We booked this hotel for our anniversary. I had written in the note section when I booked that we were celebrating a special occasion. When we arrived, we were informed that we would be upgraded to a large suite! We were delighted! The room was huge, full of windows with fabulous views. We also received vouchers for a free drink...

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. We got an upgrade to their 'Superior' room, which is spacious. It has a comfortable bed, a real big bathroom with both a bath tub and a walk-in shower. The new styed shower head (in the form of a rod with several holes) is a bit unusual but functioning. The bath... More

Extremely friendly staff. Warm welcome from the staff at reception. Location is very good, The hotel is close to the centre of Edinburgh. The room was very clean. View from the room was less but then you don't spend much time there during the day.

Location wise, its right next to Princes street and 5-10 mins walk from the Royal Mile - Fantastic location We got the car parked outside the hotel... More

Great staff. great bar, great snacks, great beds, great spa.. How could a hotel at the end of Princes St. be quiet? It was..except for a wedding function downstairs on Sunday night on the floor below us with the base thumping out until almost 12 pm... But hey, it's a hotel, not a Buddhist retreat ;-). The staff,young friendly and... More
