Top Merkinch Local Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Waverley Inn Apartments

8/10 Good

"The apartment was spotlessly clean, furniture was nice, and the location was central so very close to the railway station, shops, restaurants and bars. When I booked the apartment the confirmation email stated there would be a person at the apartment to give us the key. When we arrived the main entrance was locked and a note on the door saying the key had to be collected from another location, there was also a telephone number. I rang the number explaining this was different information than the confirmation email. I went to the location to collect the key, nobody there although they did appear a couple of minutes later. This may not sound like a big deal but if I had a large suitcase or if it was pouring of rain I would have been extremely annoyed, or more annoyed than I was. If the email had given the correct information regarding collecting the key then the review would have reflected that."
