Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Yes, it is a sensible booking for most visitors to Dundee: a 4-star by the quay with a pool, spa and gym listed, at a price close to the city median. Budget travellers can save about €33 a night at our Budget pick, which has the same guest score.

Who it suits and who should skip it

This is our Best Value pick in Dundee. It fits couples, families and short city breaks. Family rooms are listed, and so are a gym, spa and pool, which gives you something to do on a wet evening. Guests say the station and the V&A museum are close.

If the lowest price is what you need, look elsewhere. Our Budget pick has the same 8.8 score for much less. Drivers should also be aware that guests dislike the extra charges for parking and breakfast.

Location and getting around

The hotel sits at 1 West Victoria Dock Road. Guests rate the location 9.3 and describe a central setting near the V&A museum and the station, with views of the quay.

RRS Discovery is about 0.5 km away, around 6 minutes on foot. Tannadice Park is about 1.6 km, roughly 20 minutes, and Dens Park about 1.7 km, around 21 minutes, which is handy if you are in town for football. All times are straight-line estimates, so real walks may take a little longer.

What guests say

Apex City Quay scores 8.8 out of 10 from 3,903 reviews, joint second by score among the 9 eligible properties in our sample.

Two themes stand out. First, location: central, near the museum and station, with quay views. Second, staff: guests describe a friendly, attentive team and helpful service.

On the negative side, guests find room rates reasonable but dislike paying extra for parking and breakfast. Budget for both if you need them.

Price and what you get, set against our other Dundee picks

Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults were €88.94 a night, about €178 for both nights. The sample median was €86.69, so the price is close to typical. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Dundee, our Budget pick, was €55.95 a night with an 8.8 score and 3 stars. Staybridge Suites - Dundee by IHG, our Luxury pick, was €162.03 a night with an 8.9 score and 4 stars. Apex sits in between: about €33 more than Four Points Flex, which buys you a pool, spa and gym, and about €73 less than Staybridge Suites for almost the same score.

Breakfast is listed as Full English/Irish. It is not confirmed as included, and guests mention it as an extra charge, so check your rate.

Before you book

Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check the room description and the cancellation policy for your rate.

Ask for the parking price if you drive, and compare a rate with breakfast against one without. Quay views are mentioned by guests but are not guaranteed for every room, so request one if it matters.
