My husband and I decided to take a short break in Edinburgh and thought we'd try the Scotsman Hotel on North Bridge as previously we had stayed at the Sheraton Grand and wanted to sample something different. It was absolutely wonderful in every way. the stafff were all friendly and chatty without being intrusive. The room overlooked North Bridge down... more

Just fantastic - we arrived on Friday afternoon and from our first contact with the porter to the time we left on Sunday night everything was brilliant. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the room was lovely and relaxing. I used the gym and went to 2 spinning classes, which were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend and... more

One of my favorites. The thing I love most about this boutique hotel is that the transition from the old home of "The Scotsman" newpaper to a beautiful hotel. They have taken great care in keeping little reminders of it's past throughout the hotel which is filled with character. The team made us feel very welcome and were attentive from... more

The hotel has a great location for the city center. You can exit the rear doors and walk right into the train station. Its a small boutique type hotel. It can be hard to find your way around as it is a bit dark and narrow with multiple dark doors so you mistake someone's room for the exit to the... more

Lovely people, lovely view, lovely service, good sized room Really can't praise this place enough. The only time I've stayed in a hotel in this country (other 5 stars included) where I've not left with even the slightest sense of disappointment. Thoroughly good value for money and would definitely go back. Didn't get to check out spa facilities though so... more

Service by all staff was excellent, and the restaurants they recommended super. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. The hotel was central to all of the city, so made exploring on... more

This superb hotel, a member of the Leading Small Hotels of the World was formally the home of the Scotsman Newspaper and even the printing presses were located here on the lower floors and the building would shake to the foundations when they were printing tomorrows edition of the paper. All that history was converted into a superb hotel in... more

I'll try and keep this brief; The Scotsman is in a very central location but therefore very noisy - it's on the ambulance route to the infimary, for example. Also, you can hear the announcements from the adjacent train station. The hotel does not have a car park and unloading the car on a main road was tricky and not... more
