Top Old College Hotel Reviews

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay. Grteat staff and great location to the attractions and Waverly station. Breakfast was good. Just be prepared for the loud music until 3am from Three Sisters Bar. This was not a major issue for us."

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely rooms, well placed and generous and friendly staff."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Loved being “in the heart of it all”! Great location. Downfall was our hotel room was in a different “part” of the hotel where we had to cross over, go up a level and then cross again. It was a maze to find our room 😆 but loved the location!!"

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"By far, one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, new, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location is very convenient if you are taking a train or returning a rental car. Very close to Waverly Station."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Its amazing experience!Location is perfect.Its clean and safety.Whiskey taste in underground was amazing!Personals were professinal.Foods were delicious.İ recommend absolutely!"

The Scotsman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in room 902 and it was a fantastic experience. The room was very clean, quiet, spacious, and even had it's own turret up a small set of stairs with immaculate views. We had breakfast each day with the hotel and the spread is great. The hotel's location is perfect as it's right across the street from Waverly station and there's an elevator from Market Street to get you to the lobby without having to take stairs with all your baggage. We also used the Airlink 100 bus to get to the airport at the end of the trip which was an easy 5 minute walk from the hotel. Couldn't have asked for a better experience with this hotel; I highly recommend."
