The room was a nice size, and modern. Toiletries were terrific. I liked the coffee and tea set up in the room. The breakfast was excellent. The location with access to the train station on the lower floor was superb. It was easy to get to all the locations we wished to visit.
There was a bit of a moldy smell in the bathroom. We brought it to the staff's attention and they addressed it straight away and compensated us with a free breakfast.

Location is the best. Right where we wanted to be as we have been to the Apex Waterloo Place several times. It is walking distance from our favorite places in Edinburgh.
Well, there was a lot of traffic issues due to a gigantic water project and that was an unavoidable inconvenience but it didn't dampen our enthusiasm for the APEX!

Reception and houskeepinh staff were helpful.
The restaurant staff could have apologized for serving a "Scottish breakfast" that lacked both haggis and black pudding. I understand that a kitchen might occasionally run out of certain items, but they shouldn't accept a breakfast order without mentioning that those ingredients are no longer available. Another point—why are there no toilet brushes in the restrooms? It was truly unpleasant.

When the alarm goes off at 6 in the morning for absolutely no reason I need an apology at least…

Location is great and fairly central
Even though we were given a complimentary upgrade to a superior room, it ended up being smaller than the standard rooms. The shower and sink both had draining issues and as we were placed on the top floor, the wind from outside caused the room to be so loud. The swimming pool was freezing cold.

Everything. Unreal location, so comfortable and great facilities
Mattress maybe a little soft for my taste. But each to their own!
