Top Dalkeith Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Really nice hotel; very polite, friendly and helpful staff. Room was nice: it had a separate bath and shower. Made full use of the pool (small and oddly shaped, but sufficient for a dip), sauna (which was nice and hot) and gym (small, but top quality technogym equipment and more than enough to get a good workout. Breakfast was also good. Can’t really fault it, other than two single beds pushed together to make a double bed, but they easily slid apart."

10/10 Excellent
"Liked it quite a bit. Clean room, friendly staff, easy access, good breakfast. If you're not familiar with Edinburgh, just know the front door of the hotel opens onto one of the busiest streets in the city. It's walkable to most everything. If you like busy, this is your place. If you like a slower pace that's off-the-beaten-path, look elsewhere. (Adding-- the room was quiet! No issue there.)"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was mostly clean and well kept, although compact. Tea and instant coffee provided. Room was refreshed every day, fresh towels etc. We were on the 5th floor and had the most beautiful view of the castle and were treated to the sounds and sights of the Military Tattoo by night. Staff were fine, working in Edinburgh in August obviously takes its toll! One mature gentleman, in a blue shirt was hugely friendly and went above and beyond for us during our stay. The pool was compact but okay, nice little sauna too. A good way to unwind after a day exploring the city. We really enjoyed the nearby cafes and bars. So didn’t make use of the restaurant or bar in the hotel. Our stay was very expensive, to be expected in Edinburgh in August."
