George Heriot’s School Tours

George Heriot’s School definitely leaves an impression. This significant building is a must-see for visiting history lovers.

George Heriot’s School is a worthwhile place to begin exploring Old Town Edinburgh. This historic landmark comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other sights like Edinburgh Castle, Murrayfield Stadium, and Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre to fully experience what the area has to offer.

7.6/10 Good! (4 reviews)
The apartment is very small and a bit far from the center, you need a car or a bus to reach it. The hall is narrow and the bathroom is small, one bedroom is small and barely fits a double bed. There is a hanging bed but it is not equipped and the ladder is broken. The apartment is clean and the kitchen is good but the sheets are worn out. The apartment only fits two people, contrary to what is written that it fits four, but there is no sofa bed, even just a sofa in the hall
