“Grand aparthotel by Waverley, thin staffing”
The Edinburgh Grand is a medieval-boned luxury aparthotel steps from Waverley station — large clean apartments with kitchens, washers, big dining tables and wraparound balconies (a hit with elderly parents), high-end bathrooms, bookable room-service breakfasts, and Hawksmoor downstairs serving top-level steak twice over. The flaw is staffing: front-desk responses lagged and hands are few, and one guest expected a bath that wasn't there. Calton Hill is six minutes away.
