We had an excellent stay at Apex Waterloo. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable for two people travelling together. The property itself was beautiful and extremely well located, within walking distance to everything we wanted to see in Edinburgh. Special thanks to Yiting at the front desk who was especially kind and went the extra mile to ensure we had a great stay. We’d absolutely return to this hotel for a future stay.
