Old Waverly has a beautiful front facing view of Old Town and Edinburgh Castle. Upper floor rooms were recently renovated and ours was very nice. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful. Very walkable location.

Carlton • Family Trip

Ideal location near the train station, but still quiet at night. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable, even though the pillows were too firm for me. The elevator is on the first level (not ground level), so climbing a flight of stairs is necessary. However, the staff eagerly assists carrying luggage up to the reception area. We would definitely stay there again.

Primo soggiorno ad Edimburgo e non potevo scegliere hotel migliore!! La struttura è allo stesso tempo moderna e storica e mi ha piacevolmente sorpresa. La camera singola in cui sono stata era accogliente e molto più grande di quello che mi aspettavo! La vista poi era spettacolare <3 Ho cenato al ristorante il secondo giorno e il servizio è stato rapido e impeccabile. Personale super disponibile e gentile. Davvero un’ottima impressione!!!

Ottima posizione in città, vicino al centro, servito bene da tanti bus, negozi, ristoranti e attrattive a portata di mano. Abbiamo dormito benissimo, siamo stati bene.

John • Couple Trip

The hotel exceeded our expectations. The location was fantastic. Walkable to the royal Mile and the Edinburgh castle. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance and the airport bus literally dropped us off one block from the hotel. We will definitely stay here again. The rooms are very small but they were clean and the water was hot. Excellent location if you’re looking for a central spot and you need a good place to sleep.

온수 따뜻하고, 트윈룸 객실 넓고, 조식 맛있습니다. 그런데 냉장고 없고, 물 안줍니다. 참고하세요.

Ashley • Family Trip

Room was very spacious, very comfortable - the beds are very nice, with fluffy duvets. When we walked in we were so relieved to have such a nice space. The bathroom was also spacious, although the tub is quite narrow and it was hard to stand flat in it. The hotel itself is situated perfectly for access to everything, including seconds away from a direct bus or tram to the airport! The breakfast in the morning was great, lots of options. The staff were helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay where again. Lift was small and slow, but that is not atypical for the old world. Our room was also noisy because we got the echo of the alley as we were on the corner we hear all the hooting and hollering until the wee hours of the night and then a 6am garbage truck or something every morning!
