8/10 Good

Our double room was huge, but very dirty. The restaurant food was not worth eating.

Need to be clearer about chiefs specials.You have to order in the morning but this is difficult in the first day.dint mind the set menu but it should have the chefs special on the printed nenus.also the fireign visitor's dud nit gave the menu in their language which caused problems. Quiet entertaining for us but not the visitors. The staff looked after us and it was in a great location. The bathroom needed overhall. It was all very clean

We only stayed a short time due to our tight schedule, but we loved every second we did spend here! The property is gorgeous and the hotel is located in such a quiet area with no traffic. It's great for when you want to be close to Edinburgh without being right in downtown. Perfect escape from the city!

Unfortunately we could not check in as we could not stay…When we arrived at the Waverley Castle hotel were told no dogs were allowed. It was pointed out to us that it was in the T&As. As we had stayed there before and enjoyed our stay with the dog we did not feel the need to read the T&As. We did not know that the hotel had changed ownership.. And as suggested to us about leaving dog in car was not an option for us as dog thefts are common and could not risk that. So we decided to look for other accommodation which we found couple of miles away who were very welcoming of us and our dog..
