Old Waverley Hotel Edinburgh

I have just stayed at the waverley for two nights on a bed and breakfast basis. I was worried at the bad press this hotel seems to get on these pages, but I have had a very good stay. The room although rather small was comfortable, nicely decorated and spotlessly clean as was the bathroom. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was plentiful and nicely cooked. I would certainly return.

Location superb if you like mould on your walls and staff who say that is unfortunate. The room was barely big enough for my husband to negotiate around on crutches and there was no wardrobe. There were also torn sheets even after two attempts to change them.

Expensive for room allocated, ( £130 ) although booked at the last minute. Room was clean though lacked basic expectations -eg mirror. Bathroom was tiny. Noisy in early hours despite being on 4th floor. No one else in restaurant although food was okay. Bar closed at 11 o`clock which was early for a Saturday night.Best aspect was location.

As a single was given a small room. Nothing outstanding about the hotel. I would probably try others next time in Edinburgh
