Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was exceptionally clean and staff couldn’t have been more helpful and polite. Breakfast was great, couldn’t eat it all. Didn’t use the bar. Would definitely return as location great. Got an upgrade on arrival which was a nice surprise but room could’ve been better, sofa was well worn and a couple of spars of wood on entry needed replaced or rubbed down and varnished again."
