The room was clean but in poor condition. My shower head sprayed at the based of what should have been a rain shower handle Leaving me sprayed in the face and unable to direct water. One light did not work at all and the heat would not come on at all. The bed was hard as a rock and the windows were thin so road noise talk and laughter were heard clearly until 2-230 am. The breakfast was lovely and they do store bags However I would never stay here again

We had a wonderful stay. The area around the hotel couldn’t be more convenient, when you walk outside you’re right by so many beautiful sights like the Princes Street gardens & Ross fountain, Scott monument, as well as the National Galleries and Calton Hill. There’s tons of shopping on Princes St and the surrounding area, as well as restaurants and cafes, and a few grocery stores. The tram is only a few minutes walk if needed - it was super convenient to take the tram to and from the airport since it was so close, and Edinburgh Waverly is right by the hotel which is convenient for anyone vacationing and travelling via train. Everything else is only a short walk away, and it’s a walk you’ll enjoy since the sights are so beautiful. Even with being so close to so many things, it was quiet inside at night time and we got a great sleep. The only downside for us was not having a minifridge in the room, would love if that was added! We got amazing service from the employees while we were there who also arranged an early check in for us which we really appreciated.

The location is perfect if you’re interested in being near the train station or lots of shops. The breakfast was outstanding and the bar is a comfortable place to wind down at the end of the day. The address is Princes Street but the entrance doesn’t actually face Princes Street. A special recognition to Haley at the front desk who was very welcoming and helpful.

Right across from the train station so it was incredibly convenient. Within a reasonable walk to Edinburgh Castle and some main shopping streets. The rooms were average, and the hotel was under renovation.

Plenty to do in the area and just down the street from the Waverly train station. Rooms are clean but carpet a little worn. Nice big shower.
