Hotel in great location from Waverly Station, Central Edinburgh and across the street from where most of tours meet. Room serviced daily. Breakfast was a box meal with corn flakes and a roll Front Desk helpful. Room smaller than most other Travelodges I have stayed in but still much bigger than your average London hotel Only downside was hall subfloor was soft and creaky when people walked on it as was a spot in my room near the desk

Avoidance

Paying for the internet in the room was a 1st I've ever experienced for a 90 pound room rate for my stay. This was a distraction. Can't recall ever having to pay for internet even provided for in the lobby; it's usually free. Plus the sparse continental breakfast of cereal and a stale muffin for an added charge made when booking added to an annoyance. Too many hotels, (all) have free internet, and if an advertised breakfast, it's usually free when it's simply a muffin and cereal that was added to the room rate if you wanted it. I wished the sparse breakfast had been described in the listing to avoid paying more money when I could have saved another 10 or more pounds for the internet and sparse breakfast. Decide for yourself.

Awful hotel and top price, feel totally ripped off

It was awful. The room was nothing like the picture on website, the room was small, dingy and actually so depressing.The window in the room was so filthy dirty with streaks and splashes of mud on it. We had been travelling for 9 days, all other hotels we booked with Hotels.com were just as advertised, we felt we definitely got good value for our money. But, this hotel was awful. I thought we had been given the wrong room and asked at the desk and was told no, and no other bigger or better room was available. If we had not been leaving first thing in the morning to join a tour directly across the street from this hotel I would have left and tried to find another. The manager was no help either. And the worst of it was it was one of the most expensive hotels we had booked. I paid 345.72 Canadian dollars and it was so substandard it would not rate 145.72.!!!! Will never book with Travelodge again and will inform everyone I know how bad Travelodge is.

Very nice but would have liked a fridge as the weather was hot. No extracter in the bathroom. No shower shelf which led to wetting the floor.

Convenient located

It's conveniently located near city center and close to a lot of restaurants. Room is small and the bed is okay. Bathroom is tiny and only can have one person in. But if you just need a place to sleep and take a shower this is a good choice.

A Little Shakey

Room 306 had a weak place in the floor by the desk that needs repair. Also, the room shook at least 3 times while I was awake and possible another as I woke at 3:30 am for some unknown reason.

Alan was a treat at reception. He was super helpful. Room 306 was terrific! It was at the end of the hallway just up from the lifts. This Travelidge is in the perfect location for the train and easy link to the airport. Ranbie's Cafe is across the street for coffe, breakfast and for awesome tours!

Great No Frills hotel

It's a no frills location. Perfect if you just need a clean comfortable place to rest your head. Unfortunately you only get a half hour of free wifi per 24hrs. After that, you have to pay 3 pounds for 24hrs of internet access, and if you're not consistently using it, it logs you out and you have to sign in again.

BUONISSIMA A PARTE LA COLAZIONE

Travelodge Central Waterloo Place si trova in un posto ideale di Edimburgo. L'unico disappunto che ho avuto era la colazione. Quando avevo fatto la mia prenotazione il 2 agosto, sotto il titolo Informazioni sulla Camera, c'era COLAZIONE A BUFFET......... che non esiste proprio. Invece mi e' stata presentata una piccola scatola ( da bambini ) che non conteneva niente a che fare con COLAZIONE A BUFFET.
