Great location - our room looked over Princes St. Breakfast (included) was very good as was the coffee.
United States of AmericaAn absolutely perfect location ! Across from the Waverly train station...cross over to Old Town, except I would suggest taking a taxi to the castle and then walking downhill and cross back to the hotel. The ceilings were absolutely beautiful in dining room and gave you a sense of old charm. You can look out on the street from the second floor dining room and see Sir Walter Scott monument and Princess Park
United States of AmericaGreat location. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff.
United KingdomLocation, especially for inter-city travel, is fantastic. Charming old world (but new town) building across from train station, Scott Memorial, stone’s throw to the Royal Mile, 1 block from Rose Street Restaurants, with it’s own afternoon tea!
United States of AmericaThe location of the Old Waverly is incredible - you could not do better in Edinburgh. The room was comfortable, quiet and good value. The property is aging a bit and English is not the first language of the staff. I don't think any of this was a problem and we highly recommend the property.
United States of AmericaJust ok. Overpriced. Selection could have been better.
United States of AmericaLocation was perfect for access to all of the most popular areas to visit in Edinburgh. The view from Princes Street is breathtaking.
United States of AmericaThe location was great--close to the Royal Mile, right across from the Waverly Train Station, buses, etc. Other than having to lug our suitcases up one flight of stairs to reach the lobby, we had no complaints. I enjoyed afternoon tea twice while staying at the Old Waverly Hotel.
United States of AmericaIn the city center, close to everything and conveniently next to the airbus pick up/drop off
United States of AmericaLocation is excellent. It is close to everything - in the walking distance.
