Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Breakfast was outstanding; the room was a good size for me as a solo traveler; it was a little warm so having the fan in the room was a big plus. The location was PERFECT - easy access to the train station, restaurants, the Gallery and an easy walk to Calton Hill. The staff at the front desk help me look up transportation options as far north as Braemar, the young man whose name I cannot remember (J..?) was especially attentive to my challenges reaching a car for hire.
Negative: Additional towel in the room to wash my face would have been nice but I was able to get towels from the cleaning staff. Did not know about the beach.
Summary: Very much enjoyed a comfortable stay at the Old Waverley Hotel.
