A good value
The price point at Bay Waverly Castle Hotel is quite reasonable, especially considering the size of the rooms. And with a full Scottish breakfast and dinner included in your stay, the price is made just a little sweeter.
positive:
The rooms are spacious and clean
The guest rooms here are spacious and spotlessly clean. Some of the rooms have been renovated recently and these provide the most amount of comfort, with new beds and freshly-painted walls, so be sure to request a recently refurbished room when you book.
Negative Reviews
negative:
There's no Wi-Fi in the guest rooms
The guest rooms at Bay Waverly Castle Hotel do not have Wi-Fi which can be a problem if you are travelling on business or want to get an email out in a hurry. It also makes using your digital devices a hassle. Luckily, there is Wi-Fi available in the public spaces.
negative:
The hotel needs an update
The property could really use an update. Chipped paint and dim lighting in the hallways, threadbare and stained carpeting and only four channels available on the TV are things that could detract from your stay.
negative:
Things can get noisy
Because the front of this hotel is located on a busy street, you can expect traffic noise at all hours of the day and night. To enjoy a quieter stay, be sure to ask for a room on the side or at the rear of the property when making your reservations.
