Wonderful location, close to the station as the name suggests. Small or cosy rooms depending how you would describe them. Furnishings are antique or old fashion as one would like to suggest. The windows from room 112 displayed a Wonderful view of Princes Street, Scott memorial and fantastic backdrop. Unfortunately they didn't prevent the street noise from filtering through!!! I would advise ear plugs if staying here, as 2.5 hours sleep doesn't really cut it, although my bed was comfortable, and bathroom plush. I couldn't comment on the food here as they stopped serving food before I arrived and didn't serve breakfast until well after my checkout time. If given the choice and foresight, I probably wouldn't book again!!!! Lovely looking old building, and very polite and friendly staff (reception).

We stayed there in August. I want to say the name says it all. OLD! This was our second time in Edinburgh. The rooms needed some serious TLC. The mini split air conditioner leaked water on the floor. The beds were OK. The bathtub/shower was high enough that it took some very careful gymnastics to get in and out of. There were no hand holds to assist you in getting in or out. I and my wife found this to be very concerning. No one wants to take a fall when on vacation. I found the staff to helpful and courteous. We very much enjoyed the lounge area where we could sit and have a cocktail after a day of exploring the beautiful city of Edinburgh. We did not find the breakfast to be that good. And chose to eat all of our meals elsewhere The real plus is the location, right in the heart of Princes Street close to the train station. Would I stay there again? NO. I would recommend this only for it's location.

The location is pretty good. Not great, but you could stay in worse places. I’m here about that bed though. An old spring mattress that sagged in the middle. It was like staying at my grandma’s house in the 1990s. The pillows made my entire neck hurt each night. The tv doesn’t work. The walls are thin. The window opened onto nothing and is large enough to escape if you had to. I will say the food in the restaurant was great but the service was terrible. It’s a great thing we didn’t come to Edinburgh for the hotel. When we come back we won’t be staying at this place again.

The old Waverly can be perfectly summed up by my initial and instinctual reaction when first walking to my room..."is this a hostel?" In essence, the hotel is saved by the beautiful location and proximity to most attractions. The rooms were dated and not in the Downton Abbey kind of way. The service was not reflective of the cost of the hotel and on the subject of cost, exorbitant comes to mind. To put into perspective the cost. For two nights in the old Waverly I was able to get a week in a penthouse aribnb private apartment. Do NOT recommend.

Clean and comfortable room but no phone in our room. Good service, excellent location, and they had our room ready an hour and a half early. They even stored our luggage until checkin so that we could start exploring Edinburgh. Afternoon tea was absolutely delightful. We definitely recommend this hotel.
