It was near Waverly Station, and very central. Near museums.

The lift broke down twice.

Bra rom med fin utsikt.

Heisen virket ikke og ble ikke reparert på de 2 døgnene vi var der. Tungvint når rommet vårt var i 5 etg. Begrenset utvalg på frokostbordet

Mycket centralt läge för att ta sig runt i staden. Stationen precis utanför dörren. Fint gammalt hus.

Ingenting.

Good to know

Due to location, there are no ground floor rooms available at the property.

Access to The Old Waverley requires climbing 27 steps to our first floor reception area. If you arrive with luggage there is a bell to call a porter to assist you.

The hotel has elevator access to every floor above reception, once you reach this level.

When booking more than 5 rooms, different policies and additional supplements may apply. Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian.
