Old Waverley Hotel Edinburgh

Staff were polite and friendly and the breakfast was great. The bar area was also good and both had great views and atmosphere. The location is perfect for arriving from airport airlink as well as all you want to do in Edinburgh. Room was nice and a good size and I would definitely choose to stay here again.

This was the worst night I have ever spent in any hotel in the world over the last 50 years of travelling. Beware. We were given a room at the back where the noise of fans, possibly from ventilation or air conditioning equipment, was loud, continuous and variable. The hotel was full so there was no possibility of a room change. I spent an hour on Princess Street between 2.30am and 3.30am where it was a lot quieter.

Unfortunately the one lift was broken for a short amount of time otherwise this would have be a fantastic break.

Wonderful breakfast & great view of Princes St + Scot monument.

it was raining when we landed in edinburgh and we took the 25 minute bus ride to the waverly street bridge. the hotel was only about a 2 minute walk from there, probably the closest hotel to the bus stop. my only complaint about the hotel is that when we got there we were told that check in time was 3 p.m. and not 2 p.m. as stated on their webpage. the small elevator does not go to the ground floor. it starts on the second floor, (floor zero) and only holds 4 people. we booked the junior double and i knew it would be small however i was very impressed with the size of the bathroom. it was about a third of the size of the entire room. the bathtub was raised and could be a problem for someone with mobility problems. i wasn't expecting a tv but there was a small tv on the wall. we did not have much drawer space and one of the drawers had the hair dryer in it, plugged into the wall. i found this a little odd. the road in fromt of the hotel is totally tore up for construction as is the sidewalk across the street so all the pedestrian traffic is right outside the hotel's door but that didn't cause any problems for us at all. i would NOT rent a car if i was staying at this hotel because access is very difficult and parking is several blocks away. the hotel bar is open 24-7 which worked for me. it does not accept cash after a certain hour so it does not draw outsiders and is very quiet. all drinks are billed you your room. this was my first trip to edinburgh and i didn't realize at the time that it was festival season. i do plan to go back during a slower time of the year and will probably stay at the old waverly again.

We were given a dingy internal room with no natural light, bathroom door did not close, mattress old and thin, decor needing a spruce up. You got to the room along narrow corridors, making it feel like the servants quarters. Overall it was crap for £200/night. It was festival time so rooms were scarce, but we should have been warned about the room and offered a discount. Breakfast was good, and in a lovely room.

loved this old hotel. has a lot of character. breakfast was fantastic, had everything even haggis. will be back again

The hotel does not have an elevator on the ground level. It was a difficult climb for my father to the second floor reception. There is a small elevator from the 2nd floor reception to the upper floors. The breakfast room overlooks the castle and Princess street, with many windows and serves a huge breakfast buffet. Very pleasant.

Apart from the long climb up stairs to reception with luggage, the welcome from reception (from a Hungarian Lass!) made up for the oncoming physical heart attack. The room allocated was typically British, in that it was of the least space possible to comply with a hotel room without having any space! The facilities were good, and the hotel was in the centre of the city. The breakfast supplied was more than satisfactory, and staff were courteous, apart from the fact that I couldn't pay cash (a credit card was the only acceptable 'legal tender')for a "nightcap" at the bar. Location, cleanliness and breaky were a good plus.

地點佳，價錢合理。
