Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Location, location, location! It's barely 2 blocks from Edinburgh Waverly Station, and you might even be able to get there directly (though I couldn't find it). An easy walk up and down Princes Street with lots of shopping and dining. The breakfast room is lovely, the servers were helpful and friendly, and the food was delicious. I stayed on a tour, and out of 6 hotels, Apex had some of my favorite toiletries. My kids also liked the pool, although it was 'too cold' for them. We were there during a heat wave, and we were very grateful for the air conditioning! Unfortunately, it didn't work the first night, but the staff were very helpful in finding us a new room, helping move our stuff, and comping us breakfast for the trouble. They were also down to one working elevator, and the front entrance has 3 steps with no obvious ramp. Be careful when booking to specify if you have mobility needs, as some of the rooms on the "seventh" floor are down stairs with no lift. They also had a weird shower design that caused water to run down the door and onto the floor, which is more a problem for their staff than for us guests."
