delicious breakfastrespectful staffdated roomnoisy ventilation
The location was central, near the station. i found the room spacious. the breakfast was delicious. I liked the variety. the staff was courteous.
the room felt a bit dated and needed updating. the bathroom ventilation was linked to the light switch. i could not switch it off separately, and it was noisy.

The hotel location is excellent. It's very close to the train station. the bedroom was spacious. the bathroom was also spacious and clean. I appreciated that.
The breakfast was somewhat disappointing and lacked flavor. The breakfast room seemed dated. it would benefit from some modernization.

The hotel sits at the base of calton hill. This is a perfect location. it is a quiet area. old town is a short walk. About ten minutes.

charming stay near waverley
early check-inreliable wifiplentiful breakfastpremises upkeep
staff allowed early check-in since my double room was ready. the room offered quiet surroundings and reliable wi-fi. i found helpful assistance with dinner plans.. plus, the included breakfast provided a great start to each day. shortbreads were also a nice treat. the location was excellent.. it was close to bus routes, very quiet, and the staff acted friendly. this provided easy access to various attractions while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere. i found it convenient to walk to most sights. breakfast impressed me with its quality and freshness. the bistro where breakfast was served seemed appealing, even though i didn't use it beyond breakfast. this setup allowed for a relaxed start to the day, with plentiful choices available. i enjoyed the well-prepared selections. the hotel maintains its premises well.. this includes both the common areas and the rooms themselves. everything felt clean and in good condition. this attention to detail contributes significantly to a comfortable stay.. i noticed regular upkeep and care.
the plumbing made noticeable noises during the night... it disrupted sleep slightly.
