Great location, highly recommend
Excellent location to explore the city from. Less than a five minute walk from Waverley station and walking distance to lots of the tourist attractions. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We stayed in a suite which was fantastic. The king size bed was really comfortable. Lovely free standing bath and huge shower in the bathroom. Great high quality toiletries too and the bathrobes and slippers were a lovely touch. Great room to unwind in after a day exploring the city. We didn’t use the gym as it looked small. Mainly cardio machines with a few free weights and no benches. But the pool was lovely and warm and the sauna and steam rooms were great to use after a swim.

City room
City double room was ok but very little natural light as only window faced a wall in an air shaft. During night very bright light from hall way shon through large gap under the door, had to cover gap with towel and if anyone used the bathroom during night the bedroom was flooded with light through glass panel in bathroom door. So all in all a reasonably nice room was spoiled by lighting issues.

Perfect location and great service
We had an amazing time at Apex Waterloo Place and will definitely be coming back next time we visit Edinburgh! We arrived early and were kindly offered an early check in, as well as being told we had been given a free upgrade to a deluxe double room which was a lovely surprise. The room was spacious and clean and had all the amenities we needed. The hotel is in a perfect location, a very short walk from the train station and the perfect distance from both old and new town. My only small issues were that the heating wasn't great so we were cold quite often and the fire alarm went off twice, one of the times waking us up and making us leave the hotel at 5am, although I do acknowledge this is no fault of the hotel staff. Overall an amazing stay in an incredible city!
