KathleenGermanyHat uns sehr gefallen.
Super Lage, das Hotel zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber alles sauber.
Unser Zimmer leider sehr dunkel, da wir komplett nach hinten raus gewohnt haben.
Ben WayneUnited StatesConveniently located at the train station and to a large walkable area.
Bed was too firm for my liking
CoralieFranceHôtel agréable pour sa situation géographique et son accueil

Can I book a block of rooms at Old Waverley Hotel?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed.

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
