The Scotsman is a very pleasant hotel, reasonably priced, good gym and pool facilities, friendly, efficient staff. Our room was a little small, with an interior courtyard, so it was quiet, but too hot even though the weather outside was cool. We had to turn off the towel warmer in the bathroom, which was large and well-appointed, and the heat... More

Formerly home to the newspaper The Scotsman, this hotel is charming, well-appointed, and has a terrifically friendly staff. Centrally located near everything in Edinburgh, it was a lovely part of our stay. The room was generously sized, huge bathroom, great views, and comfortable for relaxing. The only thing I can find to say that's not a positive was the carpeting... More

From when you enter the hotel the experience is amazing. The quality of everything, from the staff to the furnishings is top notch. The hotel is very conviniently placed for city centre shops and all new and old town attractions. It is only a few meters from the royal mile, housed within the old building of the Scotsman newspaper giving... More

We had no plans when we arrived in Edinburgh. The desk clerk, Emma informed us that the hotel only had one room left - the Director's Suite...breakfast included. We were tired & the first hotel we tried was booked, so we took it. Wow, two floors with a winding staircase to the bedroom upstairs. Lovely view of the top of... More

Spent 3 wonderful nights at The Scotsman on my arrival in Edinburgh & 1 before heading back to England after touring Scotland. The staff, location, comfort, services & breakfast were all top notch. Ivor on the door gave me great advice about where to go & what to see in Scotland which helped me achieve everything on my 'to do'... More

The hotel is really amazing, rooms are big and full of comfort, the service is accurate, staff is great and full of attentions for... More

10 out of 10 for the location. The hotel is on the North Bridge, directly above Waverley Station, and within easy walking distance of all the major tourist sights. If you're arriving from the station, use the Market Street entrance to take the elevator up to reception. The alternative is to walk up the Scotsman Steps - all 104 of... More

It was several years since I stayed at the Scotsman, and since my previous experience was superlative, I was wondering if things had changed since my last visit. I am very happy to say they haven't! Throughout our five-day stay, the standards of excellence in the rooms, food, gym and service are as consistent today as they were back then.... More

Fantastic hotel in a perfect location just down from the Royal Mile and accross from Princes St. We were upgraded upon arrival to an editor room - rooms are decorated perfectly for the style of the hotel. We particularly liked the Turret complete with roll-top bath. Staff could not be faulted, courteous, friendly and went the extra mile to make... More
