"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Old College Hotel Reviews

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really comfortable room in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We loved our stay overall and thought the staff at reception and throughout the hotel were great. The only thing I’d say is that the minibar replenishment was intermittent. While it was supposed to be refilled every day, we found that wasn’t the case, and finding a solution wasn’t straightforward when flagged with reception."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good size, comfortable room with king size bed. Great location! Breakfast was good, but became tired of it after a week’s stay. Would recommend this hotel!"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Food and beer are great! Super friendly staff and our room was very clean!"

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was very speedy. Room was nice with small kitchenette with dishes. Studio room bed is either a Murphy bed or pull out couch so bed was average. Pillows were nice. Rooms fairly sound proof. Location of this hotel is top notch and would stay again based solely on that."

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect spot to enjoy all Edinburgh has to offer."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, good location"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with modern features. Great location and a 2 min walk from the train station."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect for us, we didn’t have a car but used public transport that was easily accessible. We would often walk the Royal Mile which was literally on our doorstep. We would definitely stay here again."
