Location was good. But it was noisy, Hair dryer caught fire while I was using it. Our car was hit in the parking lot creating a big scratch and dent.
It was super expensive. Not a good value.

Great location & freindly staff
The cleanliness was not up to standard, the furniture is old, no air conditions for the standerd rooms and the price is higher than the overall experience

Our room was large and well appointed.
Staff was not aware of the 10K run outside and how it affected our travel (i.e. street was shut down).

Great location. Lovely staff.
A little bit noisy during the late night hours. This seems to be a popular late night bar location.

We liked the location, the staff are lovely and very helpful. The breakfast remains excellent . I’ve been to other Apex Hotels - Waterloo x 2 with my family, international x1 and London x 1.
The noise outside from extractor fans/ similar . Could not open the window very far to get some fresh air . We were provided with an air con unit that helped but again noisy. (We are country bumpkins used to silence)! The sink was too small in the en-suite. Other wise a good room, very clean and comfortable.

Free car park.
I was given an accessible room which made me feel weird. The drainage of the washbasin didn't work well in my room.

Welcoming staff. Helpful and friendly. Comfortable bed. Clean fluffy towels. All the shampoo, conditioner anyone could possibly want. Breakfast was served at very convenient times.
Was pricey. I don't usually spend this much per night--not even in New York City. For the cost, breakfast should be included not an add on. Breakfast buffet was spread out all over, had to walk from one table for eggs, etc., another place for fruit, another for drinks, and yet another for pastries.

Excellent location, very professional and polite staff, clean room and excellent breakfast. All the staff at the breakfast restaurant were very professional.
I did not expect that the room at this rate would be without air-conditioning.

Decent sized and comfortable room. Comfortable beds.
Pretty basic given high cost though recognise that’s the Edinburgh effect … but still … Room was quiet as requested but right at the back of the building with water cooler too far from room to be useful

Location was excellent for me
The loo roll holder could have been better placed (to the side rather than behind). The toilet cistern was very slow to fill.
