Top Old College Hotel Reviews

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel surpassed our expectations. Yes we slept in an old cell but that just gave it character. Emerson and Faith were extremely helpful. You can't beat the location as you walk out the door and in a minute you are on the Royal Mile. We had no idea it would be this convenient. It was a wonderful last night before heading back to the USA."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"Central location. Walk to everything. Reception is great, very helpful. The room is small. Outdoor bar downstairs is open into early AM hours. Which is amazing if you dont need sleep. If you do, ask for complementary ear plugs."

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The first night of our stay was absolutely miserable. When we complained about our horrible room staff immediately turned on us. We spoke with the night manager the next morning and he was the only staff truly sincere about helping us while the other staff continued to be rude. We truly thank him for relaying the problems to the correct people and resolving the situation."
