Top Old College Hotel Reviews

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. The location was great especially if you're there for Fringe. It's very centrally located. There are only like 6-7 parking spots available which was a bit difficult. They did tell me when I checked in that their guests can park at the other Apex hotel that is a minute walk away, but I didn't know that beforehand."

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"It was a brand of hotel I'm not used to, but the place was fantastic. Rooms were small, but cozy. Staff was excellent. For an additional 15 pounds I was able to check into my room at noon, which was great since my flight arrived in the morning. Easy walk to the Tram or Airport Bus. Would definitely stay here again. Wish the room had a kettle or microwave. That's the only thing I thought was lacking."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location very good. Property well mateines Very good option"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! Clean, nice staff, wonderful location. Comfortable beds. We walked everywhere. can’t wait to come back!"

Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate

8/10 Good

"Great location, friendly staff. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. The location was excellent for our visit to the Fringe and our favourite place, the Grassmarket was two minutes away. The room was rather warm but opening the window onto the main street brought in a fair bit of noise. The shower/toilet rooms were clean. However, the shower was fixed with no scope for movement, and the spray went right over me, without really getting me wet (I'm 5'1" tall or should I say short)."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location, free tea and coffee being available is a huge bonus for those chilly nights in Edinburgh. I had an issue with my room and one of the staff Inhar took care of it immediately"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel's location was perfect, close to restaurants, shops, and attractions. The staff at check-in were extremely friendly and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable . I was impressed with how clean and well-maintained the room was, providing a comfortable and relaxing stay. Staff at the front door were exceptional!!"
