Top Old Tolbooth Hotel Reviews

YOTEL Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Off the main drag but on main transit route and within walking distance of restaurants and sights. Clean and spacious rooms, great for a few days stay to explore the city."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The manager was particularly very helpful and knowledgeable. Impressed!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, great location"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"Kxxx"

Point A Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Close to a lot of Attractions."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Pros: The hotel screams out location, it can’t be a better location for stay to absorb Edinburgh. Staff is very helpful too. Cons: Breakfast variety is not great. Path to room, lifts are really confusing ( but I can’t fully blame them as they are trying to modernise a castle which might be tough) Temp works are on at multiple places which is little eyesore. Overall: good value ( I just stopped saying great for now)"

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing and has even more amazing staff. We got there early and were accommodated were warmly. Domnik at the front desk was very helpful."

Safestay Edinburgh Cowgate

8/10 Good

"Perfect for a quick stop over in Edinburgh. Location was great, room was clean and felt safe. The only down fall is that there I a pub across the street that was quite loud late into the night, however, I stayed during the World Cup finals so it was understandable. I would stay again!"
