Hotels near Old College, The University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh

Though it was costly to stay here, the location was excellent. Less than 5 min to Waverly station and Royal Mile. I arrived in Edinburgh at night alone but this hotel was close to the station and there's not much to be afraid of. However the wall was thin and I could hear the girls in the next room talking....

Our visit was gift from our daughter. 4day stay was very pleasant. Room was compact, clean but on the 3rd floor with no lift was quite tiring! Reception staff, cleaning staff and breakfast room staff - super, helpful, welcoming, pleasant, hardworking and efficient. The Breakfast room being in another building was a bit odd! But the food was very good. Plenty of choices of hot or cold.” Hot” was quite cold for me, one morning, but staff microwaved it without a scene!!!

The staff are helpful. There are a lot of amenities you can order for free, in case you had forgotten to bring. The room was a bit smaller than I expected, as for a double bed and a single bed. Our room was facing the construction site. It was a bit noisy. And maybe the previous family had opened the window, there are a few moths flying in the room.

This weekend we spent a couple of days in Edinburgh and used this location courtesy of our daughter and her partner. The location is ideal for moving around Edinburgh and enjoying the various sites etc. The room was in good order, however the cleaners had not checked the pull down bed which was disgusting however, this was quickly rectified and we got offered a free breakfast as compensation. Point to note, don't think the room you have booked has the ideal views as shown on the web-site as we were on the third floor looking on to an internal roof! Breakfast was ok, staff were attentive and although they got our order completely wrong it was again quickly rectified. Worth a stay, however can be pricey for what it is!

It's really close to Waverley station and the hotel facilities are good. The room size is several times that of London, and I was able to sleep comfortably. It's just that I washed the shower curtain and didn't dry it properly, so it smells rotten. It was a one-night stay and I just slept because it was a late check-in, but it was worth the Hilton name, but the smell was a bit too much. Other than that everything was good.

The hotel is in a very good location, not far from the train station. Many attractions can be reached on foot. Shopping and eating around are also convenient! When I started checking in, I was given a room on the underground floor. I was not satisfied. After communicating and coordinating with the front desk immediately, I was moved to a room on the 8th floor. The room on the 8th floor had a view of Calton Mountain, which was very nice. of!

We loved this hotel. Amazing value for money, if this hotel was in london it would be £200+ a night I think. The location is great, the city center is within 10 mins walking distance but it’s just far enough out to get a peaceful nights sleep. The breakfast is OK, does the job really, nothing to write home about. Will defiantly stay here again and recommend to friends

The hotel is fab the staff are great and cannot do more for you , lovely touches provided by guest relations concierge & reception staff are so lovely , catering & bar staff great , the room was lovely , great shower and local produce in rooms such as the coffee etc , social hour is a nice touch and breakfast was great , i would stay here again we had a lovely stay ... however the spa lets it down This was a special birthday suprise for my other half i booked the spa for treatments for us . We were late on arrival due to rail strikes and i missed my spa appointment which is fine i expect that if you are not on time. My partner was still able to recieve his treatment however we were provided with no towels robes or slippers , no info regarding lockers . The massuise gave my partner a robe and was suprised one was not already provided for him after he had to walk around after getting changed into swimwear .The water machine in the ladies changing room did not work the only water available was from a tap in the toilet not ideal as the next water machine was in the lobby opposite the gym , especially not ideal if u have no robe or slippers or towel to go out to it . So if you are are a lady there is no drinking water available , very undignified !! I was not shown to the relaxation room and couldnt go in even if i wanted to as i had no towel or robe . My partner told me the mens changing room stank of urine from a pipe . The staff were not very helpfull or attentive and the service at the spa does not reflect the service or same level of standard as the rest of the hotel . I have had better service at a local lesuire centre and would not use this ”spa” again . My partner and I often use spas and this was by far the worst spa expeirience dissapointing as it was his birthday. I could maybe understand if it was busy but it wasnt .

The hotel is decent and a good place to stay. Short walk to the Royal Mile using the alley just beside the hotel and using the same alley to cut down the distance to Waverley Station. I have only 2 things to put as a downside which didn’t really affect us much but it would’ve been better if these has to be improved or altered in the future so that guests would really enjoy a hundred percent staying in this hotel. No 1. The breakfast: it’s all the same every single day. It would have been nicer if at least they change every other day, like menu 1 and menu 2. No 2, they charge 1 pound per luggage if you will leave (as a guest) your luggage. Guests who have stayed should at least be given this little thing as a perk. I know it’s just a pound for a luggage, why not just give it for free since I stayed at the hotel for 6 days right? Nevertheless, it’s a decent place to stay at but I would probably try other hotels when I go back to Edinburgh.

Hotel is close to Haymarket station and well connected to public transport just 10 min walk. Service is good
