Really good Spa Experience

“During my stay at Apex Waterloo Place, I was kinda surprised by the spa facilities. The pool was lovely and had the perfect atmosphere to relax. I made frequent visits to the sauna room and enjoyed the peacefulness during my trips, which usually took place around 2 PM. Though I didn't indulge in treatments due to their higher pricing, I still appreciated the spa's overall cleanliness and tranquility.” view full review

Luxurious Bathroom Setup

Having such an upscale bathroom added a touch of luxury to my stay, making it feel especially comfortable after a long day of exploring the city.” view full review

Equipped with everything needed for a comfortable 3-night stay, it also treated me to lovely views of local landmarks, enhancing my overall experience. I truly appreciated the thoughtful amenities such as complementary tea and coffee. This room made my visit very enjoyable.” view full review
