“wow”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

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

“Perfect Hotel stumbled into by chance”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

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

“Great location, quirky and comfortable, but not luxurious”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

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

“Some things never change...yay!”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

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

“Great location, great hotel.”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

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

“Amazing trip, atrocious weather!”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

My darling wife organised this trip for my birthday and we had 2 wonderful nights in this iconic hotel. She cleverly negotiated an upgrade to a suite where apparently Noel Gallagher stayed. And yes I got a morning glory too! The room was very charismatic and with free Whisky every day and haggis for breakfast, how can you go wrong!... More

“Beautiful Hotel in Edinburgh”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

I booked this hotel through British Airways, as they were offering a rather attractive B&B rate of around $160 per night. I was just coming down from the old stomping grounds at St Andrews (alma mater, 2012) and needed a hotel for a night before heading off to the airport. In addition to the attractive price, I asked on Facebook... More
