Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Room was lovely. The giant tub was an added bonus after long days of walking around the city. The staff were very nice and welcoming. One elevator is still down and when we arrived, our room was ready but we were still unable to check in because at the time both elevators were down. But we dropped our bags and went and grabbed lunch. It’s a good location to Calton hill and the tram and bus stops. Walking distance to all the tourist spots like Royal mile and such. Overall I def would recommend it. The elevator situation was the only downside but not enough to hinder the trip in any way"
