Poor
The location was convenient.
Staff were polite when issues were reported.
The dust issue in the room was addressed after I raised it.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable, resulting in two poor nights' sleep for both of us. Although I reported this, I never received any follow-up or update.
The room was not cleaned to an acceptable standard on arrival. There was a significant amount of dust around the curtain area, which triggered my asthma and required me to use my inhaler.
Housekeeping failed to replace our towels on the final day.
One of the lifts was out of service throughout our stay, causing long waits. The remaining lift also appeared to malfunction, repeatedly travelling between multiple floors before reaching our destination.
After checking out, I contacted the hotel regarding headphones I had accidentally left in the room. I was told someone would call me back after investigating, but I never received a response.

The room was on the top floor of the hotel, with a skylight view of the city. It was quiet, convenient, well maintained, and the staff were super friendly. In the morning, the breakfast was exceptional and the wait staff were equally gregarious.
The hotel was undergoing maintenance of one of its two elevators. Although inconvenient, the wait time for elevators was reasonable (as was expected). Other than that, Apex Waterloo is a great choice.

Specifically booked this hotel for the spa facilities for my partners 30th.. but they were very disappointing and didn’t feel clean at all. The steam room had an unbearable smell.

Location was excellent. It was all clean. Staff were very friendly. Cleaning staff was also helpful. I appreciate that they accommodated my request for the room.
The rooms and decorative linen could use a little updating.

Location, friendliness of staff, food at the restaurant and the fact that we received a voucher for 20% off all consumptions at the restaurant was great.
Unfortunately the room, even though spacious, seemed quite old. The sofa showed clear signs of use (top material was visibly coming off by constant use, not malicious damage) and should definitely be replaced as should other pieces of furniture.

Excellent location on Princes Street in a beautiful historic building. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The rooms are spacious. The breakfast was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the swimming pool was a great bonus. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
The only minor downside was that the beds were a little too soft for our preference.

Disappointing
Location was excellent, room was quiet, and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was fine, but pricey.
Superior double room was tired and not as expected for a four star hotel - furniture worn, carpet stained, moldy grout in shower stall.

Great location, comfortable bed, friendly staff.
I thought it was a bit mean only providing a complimentary single packet (two biscuits) per room occupied by two persons, especially given the room rate! Perhaps best if none had been provided?

افضل موقع في ادنبرا من وجهة نطري .. الباصات القطارات التاكسي الباصات السياحية ( المحطة الاولى ) وهذا يريحك كثير ، تعامل راقي ، غرفة مرتبة وواسعة وماقصروا معنا في اي شي نطلبه … تكييف ممتاز عند الحاجة وتهوية مناسبة
الفطور بسيط جداً كغالب المطاعم … انصح بالافطار في المطاهم والمقاهي المنتشرة بين شارعي الرويال والبرنسز
Thank you for your information!
