Nice hotel, great breakfast and amazing staff
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious- we came down later than indented on the second morning and even though we just caught breakfast in time the chef made us fresh mushrooms, definitely the best service and breakfast we’ve had in a B&B

Cons:

Decor was dated but rooms were clean and comfortable

Amazing staff, exceptional hospitality and secure motorcycle parking. A fantastic motorcycle-friendly hotel!
Pros:

Absolutely fantastic experience at the Waverley Hotel!

The staff were amazing, extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. A very special thank you to Matteo (I hope I remembered your name correctly!) for the exceptional kindness and hospitality.

As a motorcyclist, I was particularly impressed with how motorcycle-friendly this hotel is. The staff kindly arranged for my motorcycle to be parked in a secure, locked area at the back of the hotel. This gave me complete peace of mind throughout the night.

It’s not every day you find such genuinely caring and thoughtful hospitality. I felt very welcome and appreciated everything the staff did for me.

I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend the Waverley Hotel, especially to fellow motorcycle travellers. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing! Everything was excellent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great location and very friendly/helpful staff.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was upgraded on arrival which was a nice gesture. Food was great for evening meal and breakfast. Handy location for town centre and sports like football, rugby league and speedway.
Good value for price paid.

Cons:

Stairway a bit narrow in places but manageable!

Excellent value for money - superb cooked breakfast and staff available when required
Pros:

Staff very good at check in and breakfast - good location - excellent breakfast

Cons:

It’s an old building so you hear every noise but don’t let this stop you booking a room - it’s a real throwback to hotels 20 years ago and excellent value for momey

Sehr vergammelt und dreckig, nicht mal für eine Nacht auf der Durchfahrt zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Das Cider war okay.

Cons:

Das ganze Hotel war vergammelt sehr dreckig, das Frühstück war genießbar, aber nicht gut. Im Restaurant abends musste man aufpassen, das man nicht an den Tischen festklebte. Die Betten waren unbequem, das Badezimmer wie alles vergammelt und dreckig. Da die Parkgelegenheit auf der Straße nur von 6pm bis 08.30am + 1 Stunde mit Parkscheibe möglich war, musste man recht früh aufstehen, sich beim Frühstück beeilen, um dann pünktlich weg zu sein, damit es keinen Strafzettel gibt. Das Bild ist definitiv geschönt, da es auch von außen sehr unansehnlich ist.
