Old Waverley Hotel

Brilliant location

Comfortable, good bed, water piping hot, secure, clean room, housekeeping very good, in city centre and near railway station, comfortable lounge with bar menu and good bar service

Being a civil engineer the only criticism I have is the problem you have with the cold water supply to the sixth floor especially the toilet flush system which only flushes when the other rooms are not using the system. This can be conveniently fixed with a suitably designed pump system. This is an observation and not a comlaint.

We enjoyed our stay very much and found the location of the hotel excellent for our shopping trip and the station.

it was on princes street and the view of the castle was great

it should be wheelchair friendly.My mother had a hard time getting up the front stairs

Convenience of location in the city, and good value for money.

A better car park arrangement would be good but given the location in the city I would accept this could be difficult.

I liked the location, very close to train station and lovely breakfast. It's good value for money at the rate we were offered.

We booked for a double room. We were given a double room but was unhappy about the unpleasant smell of the room when we entered (don't know where it's coming from, probably the carpet) so we requested for a change which they gladly allowed but gave us a twin instead of a double. Staff are kind, pleasant and accommodating.

Very convenient location for shopping and city business. Very friendly staff who helped out of their way to provide breakfast on the day of our departure before 7am. Very clean beddings and towels.

the location was excellent not far from the train station.staff were friendly and helpfull.breakfast was very good.

Location was great but ....

Was disgusted to discover that the hotel had blocked the cost of the room on my credit card for a further 5 working days after I had settled the bill.

Convenience to the station and to the city. Hotel was quiet and friendly when I was there

lack of vegetarian choice on the menu (choice =more than one item)

Good location

Rooms are loud due to thin walls and doors. Hotel is old and you'll notice. Poor reception staff. Besides all of this the hotel is good for a single night out in Edinburgh.

Very good location. Can see the castle from the hotel room.

Probably because we stayed at an upper floor, the water power of the shower was too weak. The shower head holder was broken.

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.
