Professional and Friendly staff.

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!

The building, staff, location and style were all excellent.

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.
