Top Old College Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

6/10 Okay

"Was really looking forward to our trip, and excited to spend our anniversary there. Paid for the superior room with a scenic view. Unfortunately the Room was disappointingly small, you had to lean into the small window to see the scenic view, the tv turned itself on and off every 5 minutes and couldn’t connect to it even though we tried every way, room was cold and couldn’t turn heat up, the rainfall shower was a normal shower! Not very honest from an advertising perspective on the Radisson site and superior room was identical to the standard room on the sites imagery which is disappointing and misleading. Loved Edinburgh and will return many times over but will choose a better hotel to be honest."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. Everyone at reception that I interacted with was kind and helpful. Hotel was super clean and in a fantastic location. My room was on the second level and I couldn’t hear anything outside despite it being in a busy area. Also, as a solo traveler, I felt very safe! The room itself was incredible. One of the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept on and the included minibar was a huge bonus! Loved everything in it. I honestly loved every minute I spent in my room because it was so cozy and comfortable. I would easily stay here again when I come back to Edinburgh and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone else! "

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

8/10 Good

"Newly opened restaurant is lovely, beautiful view and nice breakfast. Location of hotel is very central and convenient for walking everywhere. Rooms are smaller and quite basic and could use some attention to a few maintenance type details, but overall a decent spot and an excellent location "
