Schönes Hotel für einen kurzen Städtetrip

Schön großes Zimmer mit bequemem Bett u.Sessel. Das Bad war ebenfalls groß, sauber und modern. Das schottische Frühstück war sehr lecker. Es gab auch ein Buffett, von dem zusätzlich geschlemmt werden konnte. Das Personal war sehr nett u.zuvorkommend. Das Hotel liegt auf einem Universitätsgelände und hat kostenfreie Parkplätze.

Leider war das Hotel fußläufig weiter vom Zentrum entfernt als gedacht. Aber eine Bushaltestelle mit Direktverbindung liegt direkt vorm Gebäude. Es ist also nicht wirklich ein Negativmerkmal.

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad in het hotel met een fijne kamer en niet ver van de oude stad

Het personeel is erg vriendelijk, kamer was prima, lekker ruim, & het ontbijt was voldoende. Koffie & thee op de kamer is erg fijn. Badkamer is ruim en fijn ingedeeld.

Het ontbijt had wel wat uitgebreider gemogen voor de prijs die we moesten betalen en het hevig krakende toilet was niet heel prettig. Ook was de zoem snachts van vermoedelijk de airco wel wat vervelend en die stopte pas na middernacht.

Makkelijke locatie

De locatie ligt niet ver van het centrum en dat is met de bus goed bereikbaar. De bushalte staat op ongeveer 5 minuten lopen van het hotel. Het ontbijt was goed. Vriendelijk en vooral jong personeel.

De kamer was niet erg groot maar ruim genoeg.

For the price paid it was rubbish

The bathroom fan was on all night. No air conditioning. The breakfast experience was crowded and not relaxing.

Really good choice for a city hotel. The most value for money in Edinburgh in my opinion.

The hotel is new, well designed, walking distance from downtown. Rooms are really spacious and very well maintained, breakfast was also much richer than comparable hotels in Edinburgh. Also staff was very enthusiastic and friendly.

Un vero soggiorno scozzese

Soggiorno magnifico. Hotel immerso nel verde del campus universitario, lo staff è meraviglioso e le stanze sono pulite e ben arredate. Non è molto centrale ma ciò va a beneficio della quiete.

Very enjoyable,

The room was very spacious and clean, the bathroom was very big and modern, also very clean. The location of the hotel was very central to what we needed and the staff were lovely and very friendly/helpful

The parking was a bit difficult as there seems to be a limited amount of spaces in the nearby lot, however staff were very helpful in informing us where we could park and with providing a parking permit for the night within the hotel grounds. We did have a little bit of a walk from the car park to the hotel but it wasn't a massive deal as we were still within a good range of the hotel

Great place to stay.

The location was very convenient for us as we were visiting the University. It is in a quiet location. The restaurant was very nice. The staff in reception and the restaurant were very helpful and nice and solved all our requests: taxi, kept the luggage for the day, allergies… the wifi was good both for breakfast and dinner. It felt quite distinguished to my family. The decoration was good. The room was not very spacious but big enough for us.

Despite being a little way out of town, we would not hesitate to book The Scholar on our next visit!

Our room was super spacious with a huge bed which was extremely comfortable with fabulous pillows (& we are normally so fussy!) We had a light meal in the bar which was very good value for money and delicious. The stand out feature has to be the friendliness of the staff with their, 'nothing is too much trouble,' attitude.

Quiet and peaceful, friendly staff, clean and comfy rooms

Very quiet, comfortable and clean. Lovely and helpful staff. The location feels safe and peaceful, within walking distance to the old town centre. Very pleased with our stay and would warmly recommend.

Amazing staff

Everything. This was emergency accommodation after husband was rushed into hospital. The staff were amazing from the very start. They have been exceptional in every way, given I've had to extend my stay due to the unknown circumstances I'm facing daily. I'm still here as I write this review, day 4. And I feel so safe here. The hotel was spotless, the staff amazing, food is delicious, the grounds are stunning and it's easy to access the city.

Hall of residence

Staff were very helpful. Great breakfast

Outside looked like a hall of residence. Inside like a premier Inn. You couldn't walk round the end of the bed.£240 per night was very high but that's edinburgh for you

Excellent value for money

Value for money being close to city centre

3 person room, 3rd bed was a sofa bed, it probably mentioned on booking so maybe my fault, but not the comfiest sofa bed

Enjoyable and would use again

Staff attitude and helpfulness. Spacious room. Good location.

Room on the ground floor facing the entrance. Curtains had to be kept closed for privacy which in turn, meant the room was very dark. Using the hairdryer, there was no mirror close enough to see in.
