Amazing independent hotel in central Edinburgh. Really good staff. Welcoming, helpful, efficient. Room was spacious , luxurious and comfortable. Great mattress . Had a lovely quiet sleep. Breakfast excellent. Great choice and quality.
Beware the electric car chargers. The Tesla one is Tesla only ( unlike most of their Superchargers) and the ChargePlace Scotland ones wouldn’t work from the app. Had to ring ( great customer service) but as couldn’t monitor it on the app, got stung with a £30 overstay charge for staying 15 minutes longer than allowed,which I understand is not from the charger supplier but from Edinburgh council!
Nothing to do with The Scott Hotel, who could not have been more hospitable, however. Just be aware and maybe don’t use the EV charger if you have any option.

Truly a Gem. We elected to stay just out of the city for the free parking and we Ubered into town. The Scott was originally built in the 1770`s and to my un-sophisticated eye - seems to have retained all of its original character, features and architectural features and fittings. They have added all the modern accouterments you would hope (but don't often ) get. Exceptionally clean, well appointed and the personnel are well presented, courteous, and friendly. Often these reviews (not my own, naturellement), have some petty gripe to conclude - I have none, Book, Go, Stay - and be enraptured!

Nice hotel in a quiet part of town. Close to walk to some places, but within just a short distance of a bus stop. The room was very clean with nice amenities. The bed and linens were very luxurious. Loved the large shower. Breakfast was reasonably priced and had a nice selection. Would stay here again.

The room was really very comfortable and the reception and bar staff were absolutely lovely, very good service that made a great first impression.
Dining options in the Scott were somewhat limited though, and when dining in the "Scholar", staff there seemed to struggle to do their jobs (didn't write down orders & so kept forgetting what people had asked for, got things wrong, seated a poor woman after the kitchen had closed and didn't know what food on the menu was) so I got a takeaway the next night, which was lovely. I suspect they were all new students and they'll hopefully get better over time!
Breakfast was good though, decent selection, good tea, and again, with lovely (competent) staff.
My room was made up beautifully whilst I was out, for both days of my stay, and reception staff were extremely helpful in tracking down some stationery items I needed to do some work whilst I was there.

This hotel goes above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. No lift though but they are very helpful with the luggage. Will definitely book again!

This was possibly our favorite hotel in a month-long trip in Scotland. It is in an ideal location--close to everything (walkable) but quiet and peaceful. The staff was incredibly helpful and thoughtful especially because the airline lost our luggage. The hotel staff, especially Ashleigh, worked very hard to try to trace the luggage. We were amazed at her persistence and thoughtfulness.
Our only quibble about the hotel is that the two places we ate dinner (the only nearby options) were not very good. They were not part of the hotel, but the hotel does not offer dinners. The breakfast, though, was excellent.

If I'm ever in Edinburgh again, I know where I'm staying. The architecture, the service, the comfort, the location. Immaculate and among our group of 6, it was our favorite stay.

The Scott is a fabulous little hotel, clearly newly renovated and impeccably clean but with Scottish charm. Staff are so friendly and helpful, breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had (you can order off a menu and there’s a small buffet). Location was just outside central but a quick 25 min walk to royal mile or just a couple stops on the bus, which stops just outside the hotel. The bed was also so comfortable we tried finding the tags to purchase the same bedding for ourselves!

The building was very unique- you truly felt that you were staying in an old Scottish 19th century home- and yes the staff were great

Everything about this property was very middle of the road, after I eventually found the road in. I would have given it 3 stars but, at ~$300 / night, I expected more.

Close to the bus, quiet neighborhood. Clean, comfortable room. The available breakfast was very good. Coffee machine and water with citrus fruit flavoring it available in the lobby were appreciated more than you would think. Overall, great stay.

The stay was amazing and staff are excellent. I would only had a full body mirrior in the rooom and maybe a mirror over the coffee bar so it can double as a vanity. I was in room 37 and the only had a small mirror in the bathroom that we had to bend down to use

All the staff were really polite, friendly and helpful from reception desk to the bar (where the chap was very knowledgeable about whiskey!) & again at breakfast. We were upgraded to a lovely room which was a nice surprise & they catered for my vegetarian, gluten intolerant wife for breakfast. Overall a great stay in a lovely hotel which is walking distance to the city centre & we would definitely recomend & use again when we return to Edinburgh.

We stayed in room 15 and it was stunning. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our room was clean and the bed was really comfortable. We had blackout curtains and the bathroom had a large bath and rain shower and the water pressure was incredible. The breakfast was delicious and came with a well stocked continental option and hot drinks. We would recommend exploring the grounds and relaxing in the velvet room. The hotel was close to the centre of Edinburgh without the noise. We slept very well and would come again. Also you could use the gym and pool they recommend but the commonwealth pool is less than a 5 minute walk away.

It’s a really amazing journey staying at Scott, irrespective of room facility, crew service and behavior, but also the food quality such like the breakfast will give you some refreshment at the very beginning of the day.
In short, it’s highly recommended to have some great experience to engage and being with the team and moment in this place.
