Best hotel choice in Edinburgh ”

I’ve stayed frequently in Edinburgh over the last 6 years, in both one night stays and short term rentals so I know the city very well. Last year I spent a few nights at the Waldorf and other smaller boutique hotels. By far the Scotsman has been not only the best value but also the best hotel. Recently I was in a double deluxe room on the 8th floor with a gorgeous view of Calton Hill. The room was meticulously designed and the quality of the furnishings was top notch. And such a huge room without being a costly suite. Plenty of storage behind a wall of cabinets. Absolutely first class all the way. Although I am a Diamond Hilton Honors member I’d prefer the Scotsman and try to stay there on every trip to Edinburgh

Scotsman hotel review ”

After a very long travel day from the US full of delays and missed connections, it was really nice to land at the Scotsman Hotel. It was my first time in Edinburgh and the location was perfect to see the sites in the old town of the city. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room was amazing: a very comfortable bed, very clean, spacious, quiet, and came with complimentary whiskey and mineral water. Breakfast was hearty and dinner at the Grand Cafe had a beautiful atmosphere with decent food, though service was a little slow but likely an off night and they apologized for the slow service and were kind enough to comp me a drink. The only recommendation I would have for the Scotsman was some sort of spa service or connection with a spa. However, that is minor. I will definitely stay again.

Queen suite with view”

Absolutely superb hotel, best I've stayed in the UK. Great location right next to Waverley train station. Lift access to the reception from back entrance. Kindly took our bags as we were early to check in and went and enjoyed the city. Stunning room once we did check in. Room 614 I think! Described on here as queen suite + a view. Corner room. Huge room, big comfy bed, large TV, modern bathroom and a lovely quirky circle booth in the corner. Amazing views on both sides. Got drinks to the room, came quickly and was surprised upon leaving that they were very reasonably priced. Had breakfast the next morning, great selection of cooked breakfast including crispy bacon, lovely hot chocolate too. Upon checking out again asked if our bags could be held, was not a problem, staff more than happy to help. Collected later that day. Don't normally review places but can't recommend The Scotsman enough. And for what we paid for that room + breakfast it was a bargain.

2nd Stay at the Scotsman”

This was the second time I had stayed at the hotel in the last 5 months and it was as fabulous as the first time. We had a suite this time on the 6th Floor, with this room we had complementary drams of Whiskey, Water, Biscuits and the use of Nespresso Coffee Machine. The weekend we visited Edinburgh was the weekend of the Storm. Although the travel up was fantastic with lovely blue skies albeit very cold by the end of the day the winds were starting to increase. The room was immaculate with extra quilts, and Robes and Slippers which were used. After our meal out we returned to the room and could hear the wild weather outside. The following day I realised that we were unable to travel home by train due to the line being closed. I then contacted reception in order to book another room for the evening. The staff were so accommodating, booking us in for Breakfast (which was amazing) and also booking us into the Grand Cafe for a late lunch. Everything about this hotel is amazing and I would recommend it. I cant wait to return.

This was my seventh time going to Edinburgh in a mini break and this is definitely the best hotel I’ve stayed in. The room was beautiful and the bed massive and so comfortable. It’s a great location set between the old and new town. Having GHD straightener and hairdryer was a great bonus to have in the room to save on packing space. The shower was pure luxury. We had a view over the bridge and Waverley station which was lovely at night time.

Fantastic Stay at The Scotsman Hotel”

The Scotsman is perhaps one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The room was luxurious, clean, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better room. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the receptionists and Ivor who gave me some useful directions. I ordered room service twice, once in the late evening and once for breakfast. Both were quick, delicious and great value. I would highly recommend The Scotsman Hotel and can't wait to return.

It was a real treat to stay at the Scotsman with an incredibly reasonable rate. The facade of the building is simply beautiful and the small touches from the free hot chocolate in reception to the complimentary dram in the room helped the stay in Edinburgh be special. Waverly station and all the main tourist and shopping attratctions are easily accessible by foot from here. To top it all there is a beautiful private cinema below the hotel. If visiting Edinburgh, i would recommend staying in the Scotsman hotel at least once.

Wonderful hospitality ”

This hotel was a true highlight as a midpoint of a UK roadtrip. The rooms were beautifully designed and comfortable, with thoughtful amenities, and sparkling clean. The real highlight was the hospitality from the staff. They were so helpful in helping us to book tours when our previous bookings had been cancelled and went over and above what I’d expect from a hotel when it came to ensuring the stay was as comfortable as it could be.

Comfortable stay”

Stayed in mid September and enjoyed our stay. The room was a good size, very clean with a comfortable bed and lovely shower. What I noticed most about the room was how quiet it was during the night. There was no traffic noise which may relate to where the room was located and no sound proofing issues from adjoining rooms. Breakfast offered a very good choice though I did found the cooked breakfast a bit heavy and slightly greasy. We also booked afternoon tea and were disappointed it was in the Grand Cafe as it was on subsequent days but was instead in the Hide lounge which didn't have the same ambiance and my wife was disappointed tje Proseco was warm. The staff were all.llvelt and very helpful so apart from a little nit picking, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. Location is perfect.
