Top Old Tolbooth Hotel Reviews

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second stay at Grassmarket. The staff is friendly and the location walking distance to The Royal Mile and Princess Street. If you have difficulty walking they will get you a taxi."

Stay Central

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, good location"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Very nice hostel. Location is superb. It was quiet at night. Stay was very lovely and helpful. Nice bar and dining area. Rooms were clean. Good lockers for belongings and comfortable bed. My only downside was that the tube style of the bed allows for no air flow at all. It was hot during the night. They did offer me a little fan but for whatever reason it did not help. The air is just stale so I got very stuffy the first few days. Otherwise fantastic hostel, the vibes are great, bathrooms are nice and clean. Would stay again."
