Horrible
We stayed 2 nights. We found the staff to be very unhelpful and hateful. There was defiantly a feeling of dislike toward Americans. The room was also very small and the bed was simply awful; more like a board across two buckets than a bed. We...

Good
I like the Old Waverly Hotel first for the location. It's right across from the Waverly Train Station and the bus to the airport. If you're lucky, you can get a room with a view of the castle. I've enjoyed great meals in the hotel lounge.
