Edinburgh Edinburgh Vaults Hotels

"Great location, and is within walking distance to the train station. The room could use some work however. The bathroom door was warped and could not close. The shower sprays out onto the floor. There is a lack of shelf space, and no drawers, so you will live out of your suitcase. Very noisy with the sound of slamming doors and voices from other rooms. The staff were friendly though. "

"The room was so nice and everyone was so friendly and supportive. The adjustable beds were fantastic! Being able to order food 24/7 was such a nice feature!"

"Breakfast was fine"

"The hotel is very central located with so many places within walking distance. The staff was amazing. My husband hurt himself at St. Andrews and they made sure we had ice and checked in on us, even the housekeeping staff."

"For this being a 4-star hotel and for the price I paid, it left a lot to be desired. Faux leather furniture had extensive scuff marks. Black mold in the shower area. Found nail clippings on the bedside table. Yellow "gelatinous" gunk inside the mini fridge. Not much of views (I would recommend staying somewhere on Princes Street for spectacular views of the gardes across the street and the Edinburgh Castle). On the positive side, the rooms at the Apex Waterloo are a good size and the location is very convenient to bus/tram stops, Waverly Rail Station, bus station and St. James Quarter. Good variety of restaurants close by if you didn't feel like going into Old Town for dinner after coming back from a tour."

"Great views of the castle from our room! The rooftop lounge area is fantastic! The bartenders at the Commons Club are masters of their craft! "

"Unfortunately, though the Ibis hotels as a concept aren’t bad, we had to wade through drunk locals to/from our hotel location. If you’ve a choice, stay at City Centre also, think “minimalist” — it’s affordable for a reason! But overall, you should only be in there to sleep, so it’s all good!"

"So dog friendly and obliging! Wonderful staff super location!"

"Excellent location just start of the royal mile, a comfortable hotel with a nice and filling breakfast, a warm and helping staff. A good place to stay if you are in Edinburgh and want to stay in the old town!"
