Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for 4 nights in September and it would be hard to fault the hotel. The staff were very helpful with anything we needed from the moment we checked in. There was plenty of parking available at a very reasonable cost. Breakfast in the restaurant was good with buffet style continental supplemented with cooked items to order. The room itself was very comfortable and clean. The hotel itself was a short walk from the centre of Dundee and a wide variety of food choice as well as supermarkets."
