Old Waverley Hotel

Velice příjemný starý hotel v samém srdci Edinburghu s nádherným výhledem na panorama hradu a starého města.

Dvoulůžkový pokoj byl opravdu velmi malý a navýhodou byl také jediný výtah, který byl neustále obsazený.

Location of the hotel was perfect for sight-seeing and transport. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good. Room a fair size with lovely bathroom.

Far too hot. The whole place, but especially our room was like a sauna. Slept with the window open, despite being end of October and it was still too hot.

Hotel very central for shopping and also sight seeing.

Location and staff, cleanliness and comfort.

It is a beautiful building in a prime position on Princes St, in the centre of Edinburgh. The bar and restuarant are first class with excellent views, food & service. The Reception staff are polite & professional. Jenners is next door, Waverley station a few metres away.

The rooms were a little bit disappointing as they didn`t have a view at all. I recommend you specify that you want "a room with a view"

Breakfast was excellent. Location excellent. Good standard of room.

Reception staff efficient but unfriendly. To be able to open bathroom window properly would help!

Convenience, comfortable beds, good bathroom, bar ok.

Breakfast menu limited, rooms a bit small, street noise somewhat uncomfortable.

A comfortable room with an excellent view of the Scott Monument and Princes Street. Ideally located for shopping and sightseeing.

Limited choice of breakfast.

central location

The Hotel had a certain "old-world charm". I loved the comfortable/easy feel to it. The reception and Dining Room staff were all really friendly and helpful while maintaining a very "respectful" distance. The food was very good too.

I was a little surprised to find the entrance was small (basically a corridor to a stairs up to the Reception. It might have been an idea to state this on the Hotel description. As a single female, I found this difficult at first. Also the hotel was a little on the cold side. (Maybe due to the draughty "old" windows. Also there was extensive Tram works outside the Hotel....progress I know, but it would have been nice to be warned in advance.

Unfortunate for them at present that whilst the work goes on outside for the new tramlines it was very noisy early morning with all the workmen arriving.

Nice, well run hotel within two minutes of the main railway station, close to the castle and right on Princes Street. Good value for money.

Public areas of the hotel could do with a bit of brightening up.

as the hotel is on princes street it is ideal location for all attractions, it cuts out taxis and buses as most things are in walking distance. it is also only a ten minute walk from waverley train station. the breakfast was also very nice.

there is only one lift in the building which can only hold 4 people, the staff also use this lift for their house keeping stuff, so sometimes it was a long wait. it is also only stair access up to the reception. i found the rooms hot and the window did not open. there is also quite a bit of noise from the street, this was from bins being emptyed through the night.
