It was near Waverly Station, and very central. Near museums.
The lift broke down twice.

Location is excellent, friendly staff, room with a view of Scot Monument, decent size.
Was told room is renovated but didn’t feel like it. Bathroom facility is subpar.
Breakfast is mediocre
Coffee in dining room is too weak
Too many stairs, not wheelchair accessible.
No lobby access for drop off and pick up
Overall the property feels stale. Needs an upgrade.

Location
Rooms were very small , elevator out of order so for a 75 year old waiting for a knee replacement with a heart problem this was a problem and could have been disclosed as we booked the same day we arrived
Expensive for that we got

Clean, location.
There is no elevator at the entrance, so traveling with large suitcases is not convenient going up to reception; the elevator is on the 1st floor.

Location was amazing. View was a lifetime thrill.
I needed secure wifi for one transaction, but your free wifi was all I could have, according to the person at reception. The fan in the room didn't keep up with the hot weather. Opening the window meant hearing folks carousing on the street. I know the heatwave was not your doing. I was just uncomfortable.

The triple room was very spacious with very comfortable beds. We were informed upon our arrival that updates and renovations had been done. As this was my 3rd stay at the hotel since 2018, I was extremely pleased with the updates, especially with the bathroom facilities. I've always chosen the Old Waverley Hotel during my visits to Edinburgh due to the fantastic location to the Old Town and the Royal Mile.
Being Canadian, I had lots of adapters to use but the position of the double bed had no outlets within reach.
That was the only concern we had with our stay at the hotel.
