Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Waverley Hotel is generally considered to offer good value for money, especially for a double room not far from town, and many guests appreciate its central location. The comfortable beds and the large fridge in the room are often mentioned as highlights. While some guests have noted that the extractor fan in the bathroom could be loud, the excellent breakfast, sometimes described as 'two of everything', and the friendly bar with a pool table, often make for a pleasant stay.
