Old Waverley Hotel

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.

The hotel is at a very convenient location just across the bus and train station. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. We were allocated a very good room with front views.

The breakfast was good but the menu could have been changed every 3 days. Since we stayed for 4 nights, we were quite fed up of eating the same breakfast daily. A little alteration is required.

The location is superb, the hotel is beautifully Scottish, the breakfast is splendid

The street (Princes Street) is closed due to work on the tram network. No access by car to the hotel.

It is ideally situated for a visit to see Edinburgh,whether or not it is your first visit. Within walking distance of Waverley station. The dining room at breakfast is a pleasure to experience.

Too bad about the tramway outside, but I personally found that very interesting to see. Hope to see it completed!

the helpfullnes of staff and being in the heart of edinburgh at prices we could afford

the food in the cranston was not very good only at evening dinner the breakfast was faultless glad we only booked one evening meal

location , hotel staff , value for money

The location was perfect for access to the Waverley Rail Station and the within reasonable walking distance of the Royal Mile for shopping, eating, etc. The staff were most courteous and helpful.

It would have been beneficial to have known that face cloths/wash cloths are not available. However, I found that not all but some other hotels in the UK did not have/provide these items as well.
