Top Kirkcaldy Hotel Reviews

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We appreciated the location which provided great walkability to all interesting points. We enjoyed the restaurant and had a delicious gourmet dinner. We had a pleasant respite in the bar and my husband enjoyed the pool, sauna, and steam room. Our room was comfortable and I appreciated the big soaker bathtub."
