Ruhige Zimmer mit eigenem Restaurant, gutes Frühstück
Goede ligging , midden in het centrum!
The breakfast was very good ,plenty of variety reasonably priced food and alcohol.
I can’t think of anything really ,it was very good.
Clean and comfortable a convenient location
Breakfast was not the best
Close to castles and locks
Lovely pictures, pretty they’re not accurate you don’t get two pillows the towels aren’t laid nice and neatly on the bed. You only get two towels and one hand towel. What’s that about? mould all over the shower.
Location. Communication from staff was good, a group of us were going to a wedding nearby and arriving early so they tried to accommodate an early arrival.
Rooms were too hot, walls thin so could hear everything outside the room. Beer garden playing music early on a Sunday morning was far from ideal after a wedding!
Good restaurant/ bar and beer garden. Food was good, but lots was unavailable on this occasion. Our room was great. A family suite, so basically 2 connected rooms with shared bathroom. Ideal for our family group.
A slightly laughable breakfast scenario, where our token child (17yo) was told she could only have the kids breakfast and nothing else, even though other items, including what she actually wanted, were the same price. Wasn’t a problem as a kids breakfast is more than enough for me lol!
Zentrale Lage direkt an der Main Street. Kostenlose Parkplätze direkt um die Ecke. Supermarkt nebenan. Schöne Hotelbar-/restaurant im Erdgeschoss.
Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Dennoch alles sauber und zweckmäßig.
Apart from having no brown bread on second morning everything else was good plenty selection. Staff were very friendly.
Everything was as I expected
Perfect location, bed was comfortable.
The room desperately needed a deep clean and maintenance attention. There was a lot of dust, marks, scuffs on walls & mold in shower.
Clean
N/A
Clean, quiet, comfortable and good location.
Had to step into bath, no walk in shower.
Location pub and staff were friendly
Noisy floorboards Noisy deliveries early morning
Staff were great so welcoming
Nothing
Great staff, comfortable bed, easy to check in.
The bathroom needs a deep clean and upgrade (mould in shower and on floor under sink from the leaky tap. The bar the shower head is on has come away from the wall.
Location was perfect for event i was attending the Macmillan Mighty Hike. Breakfast was good, a decent range but would have liked option of scrambled eggs. Staff were all fantastic
Room was very warm in the sun but with a small room in a historic hotel was to be expected
Small, rather outdated and run down hotel. Central location, nice staff
Very outdated and run donw. Breakfast is very simple.
La ubicación.
Está muy viejo y necesita mucho mantenimiento. El desayuno muy pobre y la atención del desayuno fatal.
Camera non grandissima ma pulita e accogliente bagno funzionale con tutto il necessario
La colazione compresa molto scarsa
Good location. Staff very friendly. Rooms comfortable. Quiet at night.
Room was clean enough but felt small things like kettle obviously hadn't been cleaned. . Maybe wee bit shortbread for tea 😆
Sehr freundliches und entgegenkommendes Personal👌
Das Bad war in meinen Augen nicht gar so toll. Ich musste mich sehr vorsichtig auf den Toilettensitz setzen, sonst wäre ich runtergefallen (ernst gemeint). Der Sitz saß sehr locker, ließ sich nicht befestigen. Die Rohrverkleidung war stellenweise morsch u/o nicht vorhanden. Das Silikon an der Badewanne hatte stellenweise schwarze Schimmelflecken. Am Boden der Wanne war das Emaille hier und da weg, Wanne an diesen Stellen schwarz. Ich für meine Verhältnisse vertrage nicht so gut, wenn die Sanitäreinrichtung nicht sauber und gepflegt wirkt. Ich sage bewusst "WIRKTE nicht sauber" (obwohl sie es vielleicht ist). Dieser Anschein entsteht, wenn Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen aufgeschoben werden. Aber☝️ - Der Boden war neu!😁 (Anmerkung von mir: In Sanitärangelegenheiten bin ich ein Sensibelchen.)
Staff, location and atmosphere were all excellent
Breakfast and friendly staff
Decor looked tired
Room was spacious and comfortable. Both the bedroom & bathroom were well-maintained and clean. The staff in the hotel were friendly and knowledgeable. The location of the hotel was great; very central.
Toiletries provided were very sparse - some handsoap and some combined shower/hair gel which was nearly empty. The toilets could also do with a refresh or deep clean but this was a minor concern.
Breakfast and the staff.
Very central to town
The fact they allow dogs in the hotel and to live in the rooms I didn’t like, do you clean the carpet after every stay,coming from Australia we have law called occupational health and safety, would not have happened, so knowing it was this type of hotel I would not have stayed. I mean a dog crawling under the table when we’re trying to eat breakfast and having move so the owner could get the dog away, was not on. I do like dogs but in a public room no way.Was worried I would trip over it while it is sprawled on the restaurant floor.
Hôtel "du pub", de gamme moyenne. Mais on n'est pas dérangé par le bruit. Les chambres, d'ambiance plutôt rétro, sont très correctes et le personnel accueillant. Les repas sont de bonne qualité, sans plus, mais sans moins non plus. Bien placé pour découvrir la région.
Pas de stationnement, mais on peut se garer dans la rue. Pas d’ascendeurs.
The Waverley Hotel is an absolutely belting place to visit! The staff are so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I took my elderly mother for a spot of lunch, and as she has several food allergies, I was a little concerned about finding something suitable for her. Stephen and Shaun were absolutely fantastic — they were incredibly helpful, understanding and went above and beyond to make sure my mum was well looked after. It made our visit so much more enjoyable, and we really appreciated the care and attention they gave us. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended
Didn't stay at the hotel, but ate at the pub. Food was very reasonably priced and was very good. The bartenders and servers were very nice and helpful. Would definitely visit here again. A great stop for lunch while shopping in town.
Good food, friendly staff, great music
To rom var helt topp og god plass også Hyggelig innsjekk
Mye støy fra gata , burde ha hatt dobbelt glass vinduer Badet bør oppgraderes noe..
In main street comoda per tutto. Stanza pulita. Come in molti hotel c’è la moquette. Soluzione funzionale
L'accueil était parfait et le personnel à l'écoute. Nous avons pu dîner sur place. Très bon petit déjeuner.
La chambre est un peu bruyante du fait de l'absence de double vitrage sur une rue très passante. Mieux vaut demander une chambre coté cour pour les personnes sensibles au bruit.
Le lit était confortable.
La porte de la douche était cassée. L'hôtel est dans son jus et les employés courent de tous les côtés pour tout faire.
This is the second time I have stayed here and it is a very good hotel the staff are helpful and friendly. The dinner food is good and so is the breakfast.
Nice
Dogs
Acces central et connection a un pub anime.
Rien
Great location in the Trossach and close to the scenic three loch forest drive. Callander has everything you need and the Waverley is for sure the place to stay. Btw: best bed blanket I have ever tested.
Meget sentralt. Grei parkering i nærheten, gratis. Veldig god mat i restauranten, enkel bestilling på en App. Koselig lokale restaurant og pub. Meget blid og hyggelig dame som serverte oss frokost. Enkelt å reservere bord i restauranten, fleksible ift at vi fikk bestille dessert (fra baren) selv etter kjøkkenet var stengt.
Dette hotellet, spesielt rommene, trenger å bli pusset litt opp. Madrassene er gamle og litt ubehagelige. Enkelt og greit bad, men ikke rengjort tilstrekkelig - med skitt i dusjen/flisene, en del hår i dusjen og på gulvet på badet. Dynetrekk og laken lå helt skrukkete og passet ikke til dynen(feil størrelse?). Støvete nattbord, lamper, lister, etc. Generell opplevelse av dårlig renhold.
Gemütlich und gut gelegen am „Tor“ zu den Highlands. Super freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, im angeschlossenen Pub kann man gut essen und eine breite Palette von Bieren und Whiskeys genießen. Tolle Wandermöglichkeiten direkt vor Ort und in der näheren Umgebung.
Die Zimmer zur Straße sind aufgrund der alten und etwas zugigen Fenster ein bisschen laut.
Ruim als familiekamer, de kinderen konden apart slapen. Goede bedden.
Enkel glas aan de straatzijde (drukke straat) en toevallig aan een zebrapad, dus vrij veel lawaai tot 21u. Vuile glazen en tassen op de kamer. Het ontbijt was ondermaats en wij zijn zelfs nog niet veeleisend.
L'emplacement génial
Breakfast was great, staff are so welcoming and helpful. Very friendly thanks to yous all 😊
Do think the rooms can be cleaned better not the best if I’m honest.
I live in Callander part-time and I head to the Waverley for dinner a couple times each month, so lots of experiences at this place. Look, if you're wanting some posh holiday meal you're best to stay down in Edinburgh with the rest of the tourists. But if you want an authentic Scottish experience in a wonderful community- full of real, down-to-earth people, then this is the place. The staff are really straightforward and genuine, because that's just how Scotland is and honestly it's pretty refreshing. Also- I'm coeliac and have never once had to worry about being 'glutened' here; they really take extra care with food allergies. All of the Greeneking-owned pubs have the same allergy menu and protocol, so you can eat safely! So walk in and grab a table like you're coming to eat dinner at an old friend's house- and you'll find me out on the patio with my face in a plate of nachos :-)
Central location. Free parking near by.
Room was overlooking busy street and pub seating area. Was extremely noisy.
Location on the Main Street was great
Room was very small, needs updated. Not the cleanest place I’ve stayed. Lots on broken things just making the room untidy
Location was ok. Dinner and food good. Room was clean and tidy.
noparking at property .but some by church close by. .decor needs repaint.that let's it down.room Bathroom,had large bath had a chip in ceramic could do with repair,shower fitting was loose so could not raise it higher.stairs if ur disabled heavy case be careful .room was .
Very clean. Staff lovely. Great beer garden
Nothing. Loved it. Deff be back
Aucun Intérêt...petit déjeuner de faible qualité, chambre qui ne ressemble pas a la photo, en bord de route donc bruyant, seche cheveux qui se met a fumer quand on le met en marche, pas de volet (mais cela semble courant en Écosse), une lamps qui ne fonctionne pas, une seule prise qui fonctionne...
OK for an Overnight Stay My wife and I stayed here for one night, and overall it was perfectly adequate for a short stay. The room was quite basic, with a small kettle, tea and coffee provided, and a TV with the usual digital channels. It had everything we needed for one night. The cleanliness was acceptable, although there were a few areas that could definitely be improved. There were some splashes or marks on the walls that hadn’t been cleaned, and the bathroom shower had mould around the seals. The grout also looked like it was overdue for a refresh or replacement. As we were only staying for a single night, these weren’t major issues for us. However, they may be more noticeable for guests staying longer or for anyone expecting a higher standard for the price. The biggest downside was the noise. The street outside became very busy from early in the morning, with traffic and nearby businesses receiving deliveries. Unfortunately, this made for a poor night’s sleep and would probably be the main reason we wouldn’t choose to stay here again. On a positive note, all of the staff we dealt with were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.
perfect and food also
Hotellet var ret slidt. Lå i tilknytning til en pub. Værelset havde flere mangler, såsom manglende badeforhæng, et meget løst wc-bræt og vinduerne kunne ikke åbnes. Wifi var frit uden kode og der var næsten intet signal. Der var inkluderet morgenmad der var under middel. Kaffe kan de ikke finde ud af at lave. Det var en gang tynd lort. Udrikkeligt.
Staff really helpful. Friendly.
Nothing.
Enjoyed the pub and beergarden,room was comfortable. Central for everything.
Lovely hotel in great location. Room was lovely and clean with great facilities. Breakfast was lovely. Would be happy to stay again and highly recommend.
All great
Room was airy, comfortable bed, reasonable shower
Loo seat broken, only one socket in the double electrical socket worked. Hairdryer overheated if used on high speed. Nice options on the continental breakfast but coffee was stewed and luke warm, pastries stale.
Lovely big spacious room
Car parking was street parking and difficult at times
Ontbijt prima en ook uitstekende prijs kwaliteitsverhouding. Ook extra's uit de keuken geen enkel punt
Schoonmaken douche en ruimere douchecabine
food very good, room a little drab
nor enough plugs
The pub downstairs was good as was the breakfast and staff were ok too.
The rooms were tired and in need of a revamp. The shower was faulty and beds uncomfortable and the family room 2nd room are 2’6” (small single) so I had to ouch together as we did request it to be made up as a double. Floor boards squeaky and curtains didn’t close together without light coming in each end. The window rattled but we sorted that with a teabag being shoved in the gap! Only 5 tv channels non HD and lamps are broken and were odd lamps in each room. With a bit of love and attention it could be nice.
The staff were helpful and polite
The room was in a poor state of repair and the public areas were not very clean.
Gostei de ir embora do hotel.
Tudo. A experiência começa no checkin - não havia ninguém para nos atender. Hotel sujo, parado no tempo. Não é um hotel que tem um bar, é um bar que possui quartos velhos e mal-cheirosos como os banheiros de um pub mal frequentado. Tivemos crise alergica ao entrar no hotel, mal podiamos respirar tamanho era o cheiro ruim e a quantidade de poeira no local. O banheiro não tinha exaustor. A janela não deixava o quarto escuro. Não possui ar-condicionado. Pessoas fumam e falam alto embaixo da janela até tarde da noite e não conta com isolamento acústico. Café da manhã servido por 90 minutos por dia, ridículo - você é obrigado a moldar seu dia em volta da estadia e não o contrario. Não nos sentimos bem vindos. Não possui estacionamento, nem escada. Você deve subir sua bagagem sozinho escada acima depois de parar na rua. Cama desconfortável, travesseiros finos e baixos.
Easy to find / staff very helpful / food very nice / clean room
WiFi drops off and some of the hall ways / rooms need parking again
This was a very last minute booking - turned up check in was quick and friendly- the rooms are a little small but it is a older town building so it’s expected- the room was very clear and very comfortable we had a good night sleep with zero noice from the pub or outside- we had a few drinks in the beer garden and ordered food on the app all very good quick service, very good enjoyable food - breakfast was very good as well a good selection and all the staff are very very nice and made us feel welcome the only down side is the menu in the rooms are different prices on the menu in the bar - WiFi drops off and I think some paintings in the rooms need doing again but all in all very good
The place was great ,friendly food excellent
We were at front traffic abit noisy
Vše bylo naprosto v pořádku.. ubytování, personál, snídaně .. velká spokojenost 🙂
Great bed. Shower was good. Location ideal.
The room was quite hot and was hard to cool down. But it was inconvenient rather than a major issue.
Excellent room, great breakfast, friendly staff, good location.
Very friendly staff, nice collection of local beers in the bar, good place to watch football. Location is just perfect in a very center of Callander.
Windows are blocked from opening more than 15 centimeters for "safety", which makes air quite stale in the small room. Room is too small for longer stay, impossible to unpack for a couple. Breakfast is too monotonous, coffee is terrible.
Worst reception have received in a hotel not even a hello from person checking us in . Booked through hotels.com but on arrival told room only as we had booked bed and breakfast through hotels.com said your not the 1st won't be the last with this issue so with that told us to pay for breakfast and claim it back even though had paid for it already! Room was ok and building works ongoing however never bothered us but given the reception on arrival would not recommend this hotel .
Excellent breakfast, friendly and helpfull staff
No parking - on street only and that was VERY limited
Waitress at breakfast super accommodating for my dog
Breakfast was slow and not ready to serve customers at 8am
La posizione è centrale. C'è il pub sotto dove c'è un cuoco meraviglioso, il loro Pie è il più buono di tutta la Scozia!! Camera grande, letto comodo.
Le tende oscuranti non oscurano molto. Le camere non sono insonorizzate quindi si sentono i rumori della strada e delle persone in corridoio... ma anche questo è caratteristico!
Le pub
Pas d'accueil Personnel inexistant Chambre minuscule Pas de rangement Pas de WiFi Hotel plus que vieillissant. Très cher par rapport à ĺa prestation
Super Lage an der Hauptstrasse; Restaurant im Hause.
Ziemlich slte Ausstattung.
Zugehörig zum Hotel war ein Restaurant und ein Pub. Sehr praktisch. Essen gut, super Stimmung im Pub.
Der Lärm vom Pup ein wenig laut.
Outside beer garden
The room furniture was old, need blinds on the windows need better coffee n tea
The chap serving breakfast was friendly.
Room was grubby, headboard still had dandruff on from last guest. Bathroom tired, shower so tiny. Sheets crumpled. Hallways too hot. Although they get me a room at the back to be quiet, it wasnt really as could hear music being played out the back. Breakfast was from the freezer/microwave - would have been better to get a filled roll from the lovely bakery down the road.
Breakfast
Too many steep stairs to access room staff very helpfull with mg luggage
Fuite d'eau par encadrement fenêtre. Établissement à rafraîchir.
Clean and comfortable
Road noise kept me awake all night. Double glazing would help
The staff where lovely, really helpful and accommodating. The accommodation was clean and welcoming, bonus was the bath after a long walk.

Very friendly, good breakfast
No lounge bar
Comfy bed and pillows Good shower and excellent breakfast Central location Friendly attentive staff
Early check out for a sunday. 11am would be much better.
Breakfast was delicious. Good place for a drink in the evening. Dog friendly. Staff friendly and helpful. Love this establishment.
The hotel was central to the town. It was clean, tidy and comfortable. The meals are pub style and good value. Staff were friendly.
Being central was a convenient but it was on the Main Street and they traffic noise in the morning was annoying. We had dinner in the restaurant/bar but they couldn’t come up with any English mustard; sorry we don’t have any was the reply. Drink prices were a bit OTT.
Sehr bequeme Betten. Das Essen war auch sehr gut.
L'emplacement a été intéressant pour la proximité de Stirling et du parc des Trossachs
Petite chambre, petit lit pour 2. La chambre n'a pas été faite pour la deuxième nuit. Petit déjeuner basique et à partir de 19h, cinq plats du menu étaient épuisés. Les nuitées étaient bon marché, l'un explique l'autre.
Good place to stay in Callander
Bad WiFi
Convenient High Street location, easy parking, friendly onsite pub, and the breakfast was exceptional.
Nothing
Location. The staff friendlyness
Very tired looking. Lift was out of order on arrival. Not enough staff
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the lovely bar downstairs, and the Full British breakfast was good. The town has a charming atmosphere, and I highly recommend exploring the nature trail around the area, especially the beautiful waterfalls.
While my stay was enjoyable, I did notice that the room was a bit tired and showed signs of the hotel’s age. Although the hotel could use some updates, it has its own unique vibe.
Le haut plafond de la chambre.Decoration simple.Bon reseau Wifi. Hotel situé dans la rue principale, mais stationnement facile dans les rues adjacentes.
Les viennoiseries du petit dejeuner ne sont pas toujours fraiches. Pas de fruits frais sauf des pommes. Propreté tres moyenne. Sols lavés mais pas de depoussierage des lampes, plinthes, ... Personnel peu chaleureux .
Zentrale Lage, Zimmer gross
Check in war nicht gsnz klar wo. Man muss ins Pub und konnte dann einchecken
This was a great central location. Both breakfast and dinner were great.
Signage showing where to book in.
