Top Muirtown Canal Locks 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."

2 Bedroom House with the Caledonian Canal at rear.

8/10 Good

"Clean place, good communication from host on checking in. Modern home. Kitchen excellent shape and with good set up. There's a parking space. It's on a quiet street, about a 20 minute walk to the City Centre. The photo on the advert is NOT the property - it's part of a duplex/townhouse and not directly on the water. I was entirely happy with my stay and don't really have any complaints. It's one of those places you won't brag about, but you won't be unhappy with it at all. If you have a car and don't mind the walk to the City Centre, it's a great place."
