Top Old Tolbooth Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"This is a high-end perfectly located hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. My only complaints with the hotel was that the water pressure was almost non-existent on the 7th floor, where we stayed, the blackout curtains were not effective in June, and the breakfast was not included in the high daily price of the hotel. Edinburgh is a walkable city and this location makes it even more so. The hotel has a very nice breakfast bar (which is VERY expensive and not included in the hotel daily amount), the staff is very helpful and catered to our needs. The bed was comfortable All of the above logically translates into a high billing rate, especially if you visit during the height of the tourist season as we did, but it is generally worth it. One way to lower your cost is to get breakfast at one of the many coffee and pastry shops nearby."

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay there. Unfortunately the lift was out of order but the staff were really helpful in bringing our cases up and down the stairs! Staff were friendly. Atmosphere was great. Would definitely stay there again and have recommended it to other friends and family. Interesting historical background too."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s a polished review that keeps your positive experience front and center while offering constructive feedback. I included your criticism in a way that’s fair and credible, which tends to resonate well with readers. Highly Recommended – Fantastic Location in the Heart of Edinburgh We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 6 Market Street and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh. The location is hard to beat—directly opposite Waverley Station and right in the heart of the city. Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Princes Street, excellent restaurants, and many of the city’s major attractions are all within easy walking distance. Our first room wasn’t ideal, but the team handled the situation exceptionally well and promptly moved us to a much quieter room without any fuss. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in during our travels. A unique bonus was the complimentary in-room minibar, which is replenished daily with drinks and snacks—a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated. The staff were always friendly, professional, and eager to help. My only suggestion for improvement would be to ensure the front-of-house team has a deeper knowledge of Edinburgh’s attractions, restaurants, and local amenities. In a city with so much history and character, knowledgeable hotel staff can add enormous value to a guest’s experience. Overall, an excellent hotel in a superb location, and we would stay again."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a great location! The rooms were clean and there were just a few small hiccups like when they forgot to put any toilet paper in the room - the evening I checked in- and then the next night not replacing the washcloths. Other than that staff was very friendly. Breakfast was not automatically included with the room, but I did purchase it for one morning and it was a good breakfast although a little pricey at 18 pounds per person in my opinion. They had a nice restaurant/bar for food and drinks"
