A Class Location and Accommodations!
We were beyond pleased with our stay at the Apex Waterloo in Edinburgh. The location could not have been more convenient as we were located right across the street from the Hop on Hop Off Busses, the Airport Express bus as well as another major bus line making transportation access extremely accessible. The location for walking to the castle and other areas of interest including pubs, restaurants, and the main Buss Station was also a major plus. Our room very comfortable but the staff was friendly and provided excellent service. We will definitely be staying at the Apex Waterloo on our next visit. I honestly feel we couldn't have picked a better spot to saty for our first time in Edinbrugh!
