Room was fantastic! View of Old Town and the Scott Monument. Comfortable bed and great bathroom with bathtub.
More warm options like pancakes for breakfast would have been great.

The location is super excellent and strategic!

It was convenient
No lift to the first floor. Old windows rattled at night and bathroom door could only close if locked from inside. Major renovations going on and drilling starting at 7am on Friday/ 8 on Saturday and bins/ glasses being emptied at 6am Sunday and hoovering at 8am

Historic and quaint.
Lack of stairs to the reception area, it the staff cheerfully came and took our heavy bags up for us.

The Old Waverley Hotel is about a five-minute walk from the main rail station and it the "center of things!" The room was large and I was upgraded to a Princess Street view which was nice and overlooked the Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town. The breakfast was great. The hotel is an "Edinburgh classic."
The price was a little high.

Comfortable bed; hot shower and good water pressure.
Could have had more than 2 coffee sachets in the room; lift was very slow and small - ut to be fair I don't think anything could be done about the left.

There was breakfast but it was the same food every single day.
The room was small.
The bath tub was odd, big step down to get out, probably not safe for older people.
You have to lug your suitcases up one floor to the front desk but then there is an elevator
The elevator was out of order for a couple hours one day during our stay.
The door lock didnt work and we had to wait for maintenance to replace it before we could get back into our room.
Breakfast food was same every single day.
