The hotel is quite nice, especially in terms of its location, as it is directly opposite Waverley Station, making it very convenient for both business trips and travel. However, as the building is relatively old, there is no lift from the ground floor to the first floor, so you need to carry your luggage upstairs to reach the reception before accessing the lift.

Very helpful reception staff both on arrival and during our stay. Breakfast first class and plentiful.

I enjoyed every moment of the trip! Even of I want to be critical, I cannot spot any problems to be mentioned! Thank you , Old Waverly Hotel!

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Bed was comfy and bathroom was massive! Could have done with a larger TV.

Very nice

Excellent central hotel. Rooms well proportioned and very clean.
04.10.2025
A very central hotel. Next to Waverley train station. Clean and large enough rooms for 2 of us.
08.08.2025
Waverly is a nice area and would stay again. Staff very friendly and convenient to city center with about 15 minute walk.
30.07.2025
Great location, non-Scottish staff let down the place, several tried to over charge. Including on check out, charged to my card before even before begrudgingly gave me the bill when I saw an over 30% overcharge. Could be really good with the right management and staff. Fittings tired and worn. Perfect location at the moment very overpriced

The location of The Old Waverley Hotel is excellent as it is just across from the train station and within walking distance to the Royal Mile and other attractions. Our triple room has a beautiful view of the Scott Monument. But be warned that there is no lift so you have to lug your luggage up to the check-in lobby. Thankfully is a one small lift that brings you to your room thereafter. The hotel is in a very old building, service is very minimal, room is basic, there is no bottled water provided. This may be the standard for hotels in this part of the world. But what it lacks is made up for the location, accessibility and view from our room.

Lovely food, great atmosphere, sweet and sour chicken was delicious and good portion sizes for the price, had to wait a little while to order but it was very busy and we got time to practice to chopsticks. Very happy and full :)
04.01.2018
Hot and sour soup was smelly, staff was not very kind nor attentive, and the food was waaay too overpriced. Had much better takeaway food for half the price. Go somewhere else in the area...
29.12.2017
Disgustingly dirty which makes me doubt the hygiene of the kitchen. Needs a good deep cleaning or two. Waiters hardly speak english, are not helpful and that was established on at least 3 visits. Saving grace is the food which is delicious. Please train your staff and clean the hall!!!
23.12.2017
Hmmmm! Very disappointing. Starter to share £7.80 each!! Minimum of two - consisted of per person 1 pork rib, 1 prawn toast, 1 spring roll, & 1 dim sum, oh & not forgetting the "crispy seaweed" . Not worth the price per head. Main course noodles were not cooked & very bland albeit with a taste a celery. Waiters didn't even ask if everything ok. As for the "owner", she was asleep behind the bar! Classy!!
21.12.2017
One of the best for Dim Sum in Edinburgh. All the classics are there. I tried the lunch buffet one time out of curiosity, and it's good, but it's nothing compared to the dim sum entrees or the made to order a la carte dishes. Two can eat and be plenty satisfied for 25-35.

Reviews11.01.2018
Nice and clean, good layout inside. Big letdown is the lack of a ramp for access. I know there are other Costa stores within the Waverley Mall but the street level one has lots of steps. I'm sure there used to be a ramp access but not anymore.
20.10.2017
Nice coffee and quick bites.situated on the top floor of Waverley mall.
03.09.2017
Quick service even though place was packed. Great location for Waverley train station
10.06.2017
what a lovely view..the very place in Princess Street next to Waverley railway station to relax after a long journey..the cookies unforgettable..also the cappuccinos ..at rush hours only a queue which is worth waiting!

If youre gluten free...expect to only be able to eat a sweet. They NEVER have any gf sandwiches left...no ewxcuse , no apologies.
Restaurant «Bella Italia Edinburgh Hanover St» (3 min)

Reviews27.12.2017
Good staff, nice place but not the food, I try their carbonara, and their pizza.
The carbonara was good, not perfect, because of the sauce to watery, but acceptable. For the pizza is totally another speech, you pay too much for a very little pizza,(looks like a frozen pizza) in additon, it was full of oil, I had to drain it first.

Nicely presented and staff very nice. Portions not great with prices quite high. Food was good though.

Spent two great days in Edinburgh with friends. Visited Bella Italia both evenings because the food was gorgeous and the waitress Alicja was so warm and friendly, she made our visit special. Would highly recommend this restaurant
27.10.2017
We had a fantastic family lunch at Bella Italia yesterday. The food kept the whole family happy as there is a great choice for everybody. The staff were very friendly and happy which gave our visit that extra touch. Lovely restaurant. We sat upstairs which was quite nice. Great food, great service. We will definitely eat there again when in Edinburgh.

I love Bella Italia where ever I visit I always end up there because the food is amazing the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are first class and this was my first time at this one and can't say I was disappointed.
We got there around two and it was very busy, the manager/ supervisor came to greet us the minute we walked through the door, he was extremely welcoming and friendly and told us it'd be a 3-4 minute wait, which it was and offered us a menu to browse while we waited.
From what I could see it was beautifully laid out with cosy little tables and lovely colours. They had music playing in the background which wasn't too loud you couldn't hear yourself talk but totally added to the atmosphere.
We were served quickly with our drinks and then our meals, which were excellent and in a sizeable bowl, you can never complain of small portions!
The staff, from manager to waitresses were all extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us, will definitely be visiting this Bella Italia again the next visit to Edinburgh.
