Right on Princess Street one block from the Royal Mile. Easy access to everything, a beautiful ancient hotel. Delightful staff, wonderful meals in the tastefully decorated dining room. Scenic view from the coffee shop lounge.

Location, housekeeping staff was excellent, with nothing extra to ask
To get to the reception desk, (where the lift was available), you need to take the stairs, and if you have bags, it can be difficult. The bathroom has a bath tub, which can be dangerous, with risk of fall. It is better to replace with shower. No fridge or safe in the room, can be noisy during day time.

Clean rooms and helpful staff. Extremely easy to find as well. Popular sites within walking distance or a short uber.
Cleaning crew would turn off ac unit while I was gone so my room was always warm when I came back. It cooled down quickly again

Chose the Old Waverly hotel because of the location and it did not disappoint very convenient for our family to reach Old Town, Rabbies bus tours and AirLink100 bus!
Bath has a high tub to climb over when shower and room is a little small, but it served its purpose.

Right on Princes Street. Excellent breakfast
The lift helped but there were still a lot of stairs that you had to climb. Not a problem, just had done a lot of walking

Location was amazing . Food on dinner and lunch menu amazing
Accessibility poor. The hotel Could be made more disabled friendly. Some reception staff not so friendly nor f&b staff. Housekeeping amazing . Would have like a bedside lamp either side of the bed also grab rails in the shower would make getting in easier.
