SerenaDKThe location is perfect: close to all the main points of interest and activities. It's also near Waverley Station, where you can catch the direct Airlink bus to the airport or the Caledonian Sleeper to London.

岡Japan場所が非常によく、市内のどこに行くにも便利であった。道路に面したフロント階は5階で、1階が駅につながっていて、エジンバラ駅まで非常に近く便利であった。
室内の壁が直角でなく少し角度が付いており、部屋として使いにくかった。また、シャワー、トイレ・洗面は一室であったが、シャワー部分とトイレ・洗面部分との間の床がフラットに仕上げられており、その間に排水溝もないため、シャワーを使用する…

Paid when you book, not at the desk.
Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.
The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.
What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at Apex Waterloo Place Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Apex Waterloo Place Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does Apex Waterloo Place Hotel have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Apex Waterloo Place Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Apex Waterloo Place Hotel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Apex Waterloo Place Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Apex Waterloo Place Hotel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Apex Waterloo Place Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
