Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Gleneagles Townhouse impresses with its beautiful decor and stunning architecture, particularly at the entrance and within The Spence restaurant, where guests enjoy delightful afternoon tea. The location is convenient, being a short walk from Waverley Station and the hop-on hop-off bus route in St Andrew's Square. Some found the breakfast experience less generous than expected, but many appreciate the sunset view from the rooftop cocktail lounge and the well-equipped gym.
