Train
Waverley Station is a very short walk from the hotel. We suggest you exit the station via an alternative exit instead of the main exit: simply follow the "Calton Road Way Out" signs in the station. The Calton Road Way Out is located just past the Left Luggage facility. After exiting at Calton Road, cross over the road and walk up the footpath on the right hand side. Shortly after passing under the bridge, you will see the level 0 entrance to Apex Waterloo Place on your right. Press the buzzer for entry and take the elevator to Reception located on level 5.
