The staff were super, the room was great (quieter one) and I loved all the toiletry supplies at each section of the bathroom, as well as coffee machine. It was great to have a float in the little pool at the end of the evening and a bonus to have a decent steam room and sauna. The location is very central. The only downside was the bed was too hard and so I hardly slept. But everything else was perfect, thanks.

The location of the hotel is very central and great! It’s near the Waverley train station which is a walking distance, and a lot of nearby tourist attractions. We were provided big and clean rooms. We can’t select different room types when booking via Expedia and had to raise this to the staff when we arrived and my request was accommodated so thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was highly unethical with over charges..I ordered room service which came to 24pounds plus there is a 5 pounds for the tray, I was charged 32.50. I booked a spa treatment for 75 pounds cost me 90 pounds when I was leaving. The excuse was the hotel doesn't run the spa. The only reason I picked it up was because there was mix with the number of treatments the day I arrived. Several times I had to correct them, as they were charging me things I had already paid for. Disappointing, unethical, disgusting.

We had a fantastic time staying in apex Waterloo Edinburgh. All Staff were amazing, very helpful, friendly, approachable and willing to go the extra mile to make your stay perfect. Bedroom was good but only slight improvement would be my mattress. Bar was lovely and cosy and good to sit in for a nightcap. Breakfast excellent too. We will return for sure:) thank you to all staff.

I have already shared my feedback directly with the hotel. The check-in was exceptional amongst the best I’ve ever had at a hotel. But the bar staff are verging on ignorant and disinterested. For a so-called four star hotel I find the service nothing short of shocking
