Old Waverley Hotel Reviews

A very central hotel. Next to Waverley train station. Clean and large enough rooms for 2 of us.

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

Waverly is a nice area and would stay again. Staff very friendly and convenient to city center with about 15 minute walk.

Central hotel, ideal location, nice and clean, breakfast very tasty and lots to choose from, staff very helpful and pleasant.

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.

Fantastic location and good food,does have flights of stairs to enter to reception and unsure if has disabled lift to allow access to hotel so would advise checking if have mobility issues

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.

Very good hotel with excenllent views. The buffet style full English/Scotish breakfast is so goooood after a hangover from the bar within the hotel which operates 24 hours (almost!!). I also stole beer from the tap while the bartender was away and he laught at it and did not cause any trouble although the bartender next told me that the previous night bartender should be treated with caution lol. They were both fabulous.

Excellent choice for a short trip in Edinburgh, extremely easy to reach by any transportation mean and perfect location.

Perfect location. The door lock is jammed when I checked in. But the front desk helped us solve the issue as soon as possible. You can have the view of Scott Monument from the room. The room is very clean. But there are not enough sockets in the room, and you need to take stairs to get up to the room.

The hotel is very good location

SPotlessly clean. Great service. Good value.
