Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Pool facilities were lovely and relaxing especially considering how poor the weather was the weekend we visited. Really excellent location for getting around the city as well as Waverley train station. Breakfast was also lovely. I would definitely stay again!"
