Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
Check in was exceptional - we didn’t take the breakfast option as we had an early flight to catch so opted to skip it. The room was lovely clean & spacious / we were celebrating our anniversary and had the surprise of a lovely Xmas duck to keep. It really was a lovely stay / we enjoyed the spa facility ...

Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
The staff and food was amazing. The rooms were small but still good. The lobby, attitude, gym and pool were also great. My only complaint is the location. You have to walk 3 miles to seen any signs of life. Overall, very good.
