The Scotsman Hotel - Edinburgh

We stayed in one of the study rooms very impressed with decor and views of castle and edinburgh. Staff friendly and helpful would definately recommend an overnight stay .

Excellent Location, room was clean, large and had all the facilities you'd expect in a 5star hotel. Staff were very friendly. If i had to nit-pick, i would say that the bed was too soft!!

The only poor thing about the hotel was the quality of the air conditioning and the inconvenience of car parking.

A stunningly gorgeous hotel. The service from when we first arrived to when we left was faultless. Arrived early morning after a sleeper trip to Edinburgh and the reception staff took our bags and looked after them. The reception did also check to see if our room was ready, even though it was only 8:00. They did offer to take a contact number so they could call and let us know when it was ready. The room was gorgeous, although perhaps a little smaller than I was expecting. Bathroom was great with both a bath and shower. A great range of toiletry products were provided as well as nail care kit, shower cap etc. The complimentary slippers were very comfy, but a little small for my other half. The bathrobes I was disappointed with, I was expecting them to be all fluffy and found that they were not and felt almost like towels get after they have been washed a thousand times. We did try the swimming pool and found that this was rather cold even on a December day. The jacuzzi though was so warm and could have spent hours in there!! One word of warning to note, there is a bottle of water on the side and my boyfriend nearly feel in the trap of thinking this was compliementary, a later look on the mini bar list saw that it actually cost £15!!! The only minor problems are just that, and did not spoil what was a great stay and a fantastc hotel.

Great location. I was on a business trip and was disappointed with a few aspects. This is a hotel that sells itself as a 5 star venue. When I asked to use the internet in the 'business centre', they tried to charge me £8 per hour!! What a joke. Any reputable hotel I've stayed in before has had a free access policy. Also the room service was awful - a greasy, cold burger with soggy chips. And the swimming pool closed at half four - not allowing one an opportunity to relax there in the evening. Disappointing overall.

I was visiting Edinburgh for a romantic break with girlfriend and The Scotsman was perfect. The room was spacious and luxurious, I have read previous reviews and had noticed complaints of street noise - yes there was some, but it was minimal, it is a city centre hotel afterall. The Spa was just the ticket to unwind and the brasserie is very grand and elegant. All in all an enjoyable stay. The staff were very helpful when called upon. I would definitely go back.

Great position and friendly helpful staff. However the Study rooms were small more like a caravan with all the facilities but not enough space. OK for single occupancy but not for a couple who intend to stay more than a couple of nights. Would not use again as this was the smallest 5 star room Ive ever stayed in

We only stayed one night, however, staff was extremely helpful and friendly, room was nice and the hotel was beautiful. Our friends enjoyed its gym and pool facilities. They have a lovely bar and restaurant where we enjoyed drinks before going to dinner.

Stayed at this hotel for one night and the quality of service and hotel made me want to stay longer. The staff are extremly helpful.

Excellent hotel, lovely boutique interior, lovely modern room with ensuite, huge fitness centre with a funky stainless steel pool, jacuzzi, sauna & steamroom. Very central, within 100m of the Royal Mile, 5 min walk to Prince's Street, Edinburgh Castle, and 10mins walk to Holyrood Palace. The only downside for us was that the hotel doesn't have parking, but if you ask at reception you get 30% off the cost of the train station car park, which is 5 min walk away.
