"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

Top Potterrow Student Centre Hotel Reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location to walk to all that Edinburgh has to offer … the staff was friendly & helpful."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Central location, lovely staff and the rooms are nice and spacious."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

8/10 Good

"It is a popular spot for organized tour groups; consequently, there can be long queues at breakfast when all three buses depart for their routes in the morning—plan your trip accordingly. Especially in the Saturday morning"

YOTEL Edinburgh, Select by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Excellent minimalist twin room. Breakfast was average."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was close proximity to your needs and wants. If you are there for a day and just needed some rest every thing was right there."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"First Class experience from start to finish! The Virgin company, hands down, knows what they are doing when it comes to travel and hospitality, coming from someone who was once an executive of a 5 star luxury brand. Virgin Edinburgh was such a vibe. The whole aesthetic is sexy, sultry and ever so inviting. You are immersed in intrigue at every turn with the eccentric decor and vibrancy of color throughout the hotel. The staff, First Class from the moment we were greeted at the door, to check-in, the bar and each restaurant, to the housekeeping staff, excellence every step of the way. This brand does not miss a beat. We were celebrating two momentous occasions; 30 years married and my 50th Birthday and the thoughtful gestures extended were immensely appreciated by both myself and my husband. The hotel manager, unfortunately I didn’t get his name, even went as far as looking through several cases of whiskey just to find the certain numbered bottle my husband was looking to purchase. That in itself, to the extra mile, was above and beyond. Throughout our stay, there were so many of these little gestures that made my heart pitter patter and solidified my loyalty not only to this hotel in future travels but to the brand itself, Virgin. This company knows what personality makes the brand successful. Perfect location! Near Royal Mile & Victoria St. It’s on the higher price point but you get what you pay for. Book it! You won’t regret it!"

"Really great experience. Excellent location."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice enough. The room we were in had wallpaper coming up at the seams, moths were flying in the room, and the bed was not very comfortable. Food that we ate there was good."
