The hotel was clean and functional but very over priced in my opinion Standard rooms are tiny. I was expecting a much larger room The swimming pool is more of a hydro therapy pool without the features of one! Breakfast was awful. We had to leave in the end after waiting 40 minutes. The order was taken wrong in the... More

We booked this based on some reviews and were glad we did. On arrival we found there was a small problem (for us anyway) with our room. The management instantly dealt with it and we got an upgrade. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. Good bathrooms and an Ipod dock which I always like in a hotel - I... More

This hotel was recommended by friends in the United States. We are glad we took their recommendation to book this hotel for our five night stay in Edinburgh. The location allowed us to walk to Old Town, New Town, and all major sights. Outside the hotel door are the old and enchanting Calton Cementery and Calton Park with views to... More

We stayed here for two nights in May. The location is very good, close to the Royal Mile and withing walking distance to the Edinburgh Castle. Our room was small but attractive with modern furnishings. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were over-priced. I would stay here again.

We have just returned from a weekend in Edinburgh to celebrate two big family milestone birthdays (one 85 and one 90 year old!). The Apex Waterloo Place was great from start to finish, lovely building, beautiful rooms, great food. We ate in the (small and can be noisy) bar on the Friday evening, and had dinner in the restaurant, where... More

This hotel was a delight in all ways - beautiful old exterior, very modern interior, great location, special 'extra' touches in very well appointed and very clean rooms and extremely helpful staff.

My husband and I stayed at here for a weekend in March. A beautiful hotel, immaculately clean with great service. Location was fab as you are a stones throw from prince's street. Leisure club was, as the rest of hotel, nicely designed and quite unique. I found this hotel quite different to others in terms of contemporary in an old... More

The hotel is in good location and service is generally satisfactory. I particularly like the room - of good space. While I don't think it is anywhere closer to five stars, it remains a good choice for a budget business trip.

We have stayed in many different hotels in Edinburgh over the years but this was truly exceptional. It was a special family occasion so there were six of and we had three rooms booked. All were perfect. Great position. Lovely old exterior but beautifully modernised interior. Friendly and efficient staff with Lady concierge making you feel welcome. Bar area spacious... More
