Top Old Tolbooth Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with spa area. Great location and very helpful staff"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

8/10 Good

"If you need parking…it’s very limited. The location of this hotel is great to explore Old Town by foot. Sits right by many pubs/restaurants which can be touristy, but again…great location!"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location, next to the station, very clean and comfy room and just all round perfect for what we were after. And super helpful staff. However, the cost of Edinburgh accommodation during/at the end of the Fringe will always be outrageous and now with the added tourist tax…."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff here are very kind and helpful. The room although small was everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. Our room was at the back of the hotel so it was also nice and quiet. It was very close to great restaurants and bars and within easy walking distance to all Edinburgh hot spots. Perfect location if you’re staying in Edinburgh."

Fraser Suites Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Right from the moment we arrived until we checked out the front desk staff, Macayla, Remi, Rob and Lucas were exceptional, professional and very accommodating. Their cheerful manner and useful incites made navigating the city core easier. A total 10/10 experience. The rooms and house cleaning staff were excellent, clean and replenished daily. I was so happy to see the smile on Macayla's when I left her with a little taste of home in the form of Maple sugar candies from Nova Scotia, Canada."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel, but the facilities need upgrading. The showers were slippery and dangerous. The room was so hot at night despite temperatures being cold for the season of travel. But the hotel was located in a great spot so I can't complain too much since I only needed it for a place to lay my head. If I was there for the hotel specifically, I might look elsewhere. Would stay again for location alone."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great. Though in a very busy area with a bar next door, it was very quiet. Room small, but clean and adequate with a large bathroom large."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"It was a lovely hotel, but for the price would have enjoyed a better view. We were looking at scaffolding out our window. Otherwise wonderful"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean pod. Remember to take USB or USC for charging your device"
