Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great breakfast, wonderful staff and really good location. My only negative comment is the pull down blinds were quite tattered and safe wasn’t working on check in but they replaced safe door right away and taped up blinds to provide darkness in room. They were very responsive to my room issues and everyone I met was beyond nice and helpful. The Scottish breakfast was wonderful!! I 1000% appreciate that they provided my requested room! Thank you!! I will stay there next year because they are such good people!! And good room!"

"went to Edinburgh to see Biffy Clyro and was not really planning on doing a lot of Fringe stuff, but this location was so good for all things Fringe, and for anything you wanted to do in Edinburgh. The hotel staff was great and super helpful and the hotel is super cool and fun. It’s such a great spot and we went to several other hotels where our friends were staying - who were also in town at the same time- and they (the hotel is not the friends ) all sucked by comparison. Sorry other hotels."

10/10 Excellent
"Solo traveller and 1st time to Edinburgh. Located right on the royal mile and within walking distance to historical sites, restaurants, and to top it off even with Fringe Fest happening, CODE made sure that their guest were well taken care of. The Pend which is the communal space and social theater room, were amazing. The inside bar was a great plus. I especially loved how CODE had luggage storage for early arrivals and late departures. Would stay again and highly recommended to anyone."
