Wonderful welcoming lobby with lovely staff. Our room was divine and exactly what needed to celebrate our anniversary. We will definitely be back!

A lovely room with a very comfortable bed, sofa and nice bathroom. Cosy and quiet whilst being in the centre of town.

A beautiful space, but more form than function. The heat wasn't working. Our otherwise beautiful bathroom had a slightly musty smell, little shelf space for our things, and shampoo, etc., pumps that were difficult to work. The in-room safe was needlessly complicated to work. But the staff was uniformly friendly and helpful.

Fantastic location for accessing the royal mile. No parking at hotel but a few 24hr car parks a short walk away. Little bit of train noise but given the proximity to Waverley station that is to be expected. Room was spacious and well equiped

Lovely old hotel, in great location, but in need of much TLC. For the nightly price, it should be nicer quite frankly. We were given a new room right away bc the room they gave us on the 8th floor had a toilet that was already clogged before we got there. They tried to fix, but couldn't so moved us to a smaller, less pretty room, which was a stinker. Beds are SO firm, like brick. I couldn't sleep any of the 3 nights we were there due to the bed firmness. Rooms are also so HOT, the temp gauge doesn't work at all. The lift is so teeny tiny and always about 26 people trying to get in. Pretty hotel, but not worth the money at all.

Beautiful hotel, large room, in the city next to the busy train station. No parking nearby, had to pay to park at the rail station 10 min walk away. No place to drop off baggage on arrival or upon checkout. Road construction and layout in this part of town is very congested. It is near a lot of tourist sites. Hotel food was average, but there are some good eateries nearby.

Great location. Close to all the tourist venues and transportation. Concierge was very knowledgeable and helpful when I discovered the room phones were unable to make local calls. They assisted in making the necessary calls. They also were able to accommodate early check in on this stay, helping in the ability to make the best of our time in Edinburgh.

I loved this property. The hotel is iconic, the rooms were well-designed and surprisingly spacious. Restaurant (The Grand Cafe) was great for a nightcap. Location was perfectly in between the Old & New Town and super convenient for walking and the train as well as taxi/uber pick-up.

We stayed for a night and they put us in a room next to a room they were doing construction on. Hammering and construction noise from 8am to 8pm. We went to complain and nothing was done. We wanted to take a quick rest after the train from London but it was impossible with the noise.

We originally booked and paid for this stay via Expedia. Unfortunately The Scotsman Hotel double charged us. After some work it seems they will credit us back.
The restaurant food was very poor.

The room was great. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Great location by Waverly Station and close to shopping and a variety of pubs in walking distance.
Parking is the only challenge at this hotel if you’re renting or have a car as you’re parking at Waverly station. Not far but about a 5-10min walk from hotel.
Would still highly recommend this location.

Loved everything about The Scotsman. Beautiful hotel, amazing staff and we were surprised with an upgrade to a suite! Extremely convenient to public transportation and tons to do within walking distance to Old and New Town. Only reason I gave 4 stars for the area was due to lots of city construction outside of the hotel. I would recommend The Scotsman for anyone looking to stay in Edinburgh!

We had 7 nights at the Scotsman. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, wonderful housekeeping, and lacked for nothing. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. We loved the bars and the cafe also.

An incredible hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Minutes from the Royal Mile. Close to Waverley Station. A must stay destination in Edinburgh.

Great location but construction work outside the hotel made getting a cab/uber difficult. Loved the bathroom and meals in the restaurant were reasonably priced and delicious. Would definitely go back!

We really enjoyed our two night stay.The staff promptly helped us with our luggage upon arrival. They don’t have on premises parking or valet so we did have to park in a lot that was a bit of a walk away. Our room was gorgeous with great views and the bed was comfortable. We plan to stay again on our next visit to Edinburgh.

We were not told of the huge amount of construction right outside hotel doors. Had to arrive and leave thru a basement entrance. Also do not feel our room was actually the room we paid xor on hotels.com. There ere two so called Reporter rooms advertised and we choose the better and our room was cramped and looking at a wall. It was hot and stuffy and plugs not working etc. Porters were very nice but overall staff at desk very disinterested. Very disappointing stay and feel we deserve a credit on our credit card.
