"Do not be fooled, this is, AT BEST, a lower tier hostel accommodation. It is extremely affordable, but you will end up paying for that in travel costs to and from the city, airport, port, etc. there is no tram service nearby. Additionally, the room was much smaller than it appeared in the photos, and the bed was not large enough for 2 adults to sleep comfortably. The staff was extremely kind and were the bright spot of experience. If you are looking for bare minimum and the cheapest possible...

"Staff were helpful and explained everything in arrival. Clear direction as to where the room was. You get given a towel at reception if you need one, you can pick up shower gel and shampoo and you can help yourself to tea and coffee in the reception area, ni brewing facilities in the room. The room itself was very clean with the basics you need, desk, wardrobe and some shelves if you're staying longer than a night. Bathroom was very clean and shower was decent. Overall a very good stay."

"Stayed two nights in a female only room (4 beds). Convenient location, staff were very friendly and helpful. Room, bed sheets, towels and bathroom/shower were all very clean. Got all the essentials needed (hair dryer, shampoo,etc.). A secure code lock was assigned for luggage storage, which is very helpful. The only thing missed was that laundry was not accessible on site. They have it in another location CODE—the Court. Overall had a wonderful stay. Felt safe and comfy as a solo traveller....

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good
"The breakfast was the highlight of our stay! Absolutely fantastic! Choices, taste, and presentation were great. As for the property, the lobby is beautiful. The room was fine but the grout in the bathroom needs to be scrubbed. The room was carpeted so, safe to say, there were stains which made it look not so great. The bed and pillows were comfortable. However, one of our throw pillows had a hole and rip on the cover which was also kind of off putting. It was a bit weird having to pay extra for a robe and slippers but at least it wasn’t much. The staff were great and very helpful/accommodating at all hours. All in all, for the location and general aesthetic, we had a good stay."
