As a solo traveller I felt safe in the neighborhood. The standard room was rather dingy and looked out at an alley rather than the lovely vista of old town. In all it was a convenient place to land for a few days! ##### Pamela Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Clean rooms, small but functional bathrooms with nice shower, great location. ##### Ethan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Savanna Nov 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff was so accommodating. They helped carry bags from the entrance to the lobby since there is a flight of stairs. The room service was great and I loved that it was available at all times because our sleep schedule from travel was really wonky. ##### Savanna Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel, great location. Walkable to the Old City with a lovely park right across the street. Staff were kind and enthusiastic. The room was a bit small, but this is a very old hotel. I recommend this hotel. ##### Lindsay Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa Oct 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel was very nice. The challenge was getting our luggage up the flight of stairs to the main floor. Nice room and great staff. Breakfast was fabulous. ##### Melissa Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Old Waverley is close to everything and, with the tram, easy to get to from the airport. The area around the hotel is quite busy, so do expect some street noise. ##### Heather Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenya Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay? ##### Kenya Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrew Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was friendly and helpful.
