Guest reviews for Old Waverley Hotel

4 out of 5
The hotel is centrally located on Princes St. Our room was on the 5th floor with a great view of the castle. The room was spacious and quiet, and very clean. The staff were very helpful. One thing to keep in mind is there is a flight of steps up to the reception without a lift. From reception there is a single small lift to the upper floors.
