Top Old College Hotel Reviews

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The staff we super helpful. Special shout out to Aakash, who went over and above for us."

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Prime location"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"First time to a property like this and was very impressed! Super clean everywhere- high quality bedding- lovely common areas- AMAZING LOCATION!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The property is located close to historical sites plus venues for eating. The rooms are "modern" and clean. The staff was always helpful with answering my questions. The only issue I had is that the rooms do not have a chair to sit upon. If you want to sit and work on a computer you either sit on a stuffed stool (causes back pain) or sit on the bed that converts electronically into a large "sofa" of sorts. A chair would have been fine. Other than that the room was very comfortable."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location. Excellent staff and accommodations. Received a room upgrade which was a pleasant surprise!"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Good value, good location."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"first class hotel located ideally for tattoo"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a pleasant surprise to be offered champagne upon check-in, excellent in room coffee availability with coffee grinder. There were snacks available in the room as well. It was nice to find a miniature gift candle at our door when we came home from the day out because we had requested Green service that day… (No need to come and clean our room). The location worked out well. The sliding wooden “door”to cover the windows gave a complete black out!"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"Likes: Location Castle views Dislikes: Bed was very hard Feathers... duvet, pillows... Multiple times asking for extra towels only for housekeeping to take them and not replace them. The heat! I understand that old buildings don't have AC but a screen in the door or something could help."
