Great location, non-Scottish staff let down the place, several tried to over charge. Including on check out, charged to my card before even before begrudgingly gave me the bill when I saw an over 30% overcharge. Could be really good with the right management and staff. Fittings tired and worn. Perfect location at the moment very overpriced

It was an old hotel right in front of the Scott monument. I loved the location, it was very convenient. The room also had a bath, which is rare for a room within its price range. Breakfast was rather simple, but was enough for me. I highly recommend.

The location of The Old Waverley Hotel is excellent as it is just across from the train station and within walking distance to the Royal Mile and other attractions. Our triple room has a beautiful view of the Scott Monument. But be warned that there is no lift so you have to lug your luggage up to the check-in lobby. Thankfully is a one small lift that brings you to your room thereafter. The hotel is in a very old building, service is very minimal, room is basic, there is no bottled water provided. This may be the standard for hotels in this part of the world. But what it lacks is made up for the location, accessibility and view from our room.

Very good location. It’s easy to access old and new both town. Reception is first floor but no lift so if your luggage is heavy that’s gonna be hard to carry.

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is just next to the railway station. However, the hotel itself is a bit old.
