Room was very spacious - deluxe -given location. Nice touches were mug for tea making, nice toiletries & plenty of wardrobe space. Strange musty smell in the wardrobe even though it was immaculate and lighting was quite dingy for doing make up in the room. Excellent made to order breakfast and the brasserie was also v good although a little... more

Spent 3 nights at this hotel this week. Hotel is housed in the former offices of the Scotsman newspaper and accordingly the rooms have names like the editor, publisher. We had 2 rooms and were very pleased with the condition of the rooms, size, staff etc. If someone is looking for a box or rectangular room, this is not for... more

The location of The Scotsman is perfect, it couldn't be better next to both the old and the new town, Waverley station, airport coaches and Edinburgh Castle. As a first time visitor to Edinburgh it was great to receive upcoming emails to my visit with the hotel's tips about the town. However - they missed one big thing! We arrived... more

We couldn't decide between this hotel or The Balmoral! The hotels are opposite each other separated by the North Bridge and the huge railway station. Reception was lovely and old fashioned, roaring fire, cosy sofas, friendly staff. We'd booked a lovely large room (high up) as it was for a celebration. Wonderful view over the bridge, town and Calton Hill.... more

Unassuming on the outside, the Scotsman has some interesting rooms. I stayed in one of the suites. My first impression was a rather pokey room with not much light. Then, as I explored I realised it was much larger than I thought. A huge bathroom (with sauna) and a side sitting-room made for an impressive space. Not without it's faults... more

just returned from a two night stay at the Scotsman. The staff are fantastic! Indeed we found all of Edinburgh to be extremely welcoming and helpful. We were in the capital to watch the Heineken Cup final - unfortunately we lost! However, this did not detract from a lovely break. the room at the hotel was lovely and spacious with... more

I've previously stayed at the nearby Balmoral but had always liked the sound of The Scotsman but thought it just too expensive. However, I took advantage of a "three nights for the price of two" deal to visit family and friends in the city. It's a lovely quirky building, the staff are attentive, the food is good (breakfast and dinner)... more

What a disappointment! Promised a lot , delivered a little. Staff good , rooms above average decor Rooms conditions below average , adjacent to a very noisy road ( all night ) and a main rail station. No air conditioning – cannot open the windows due to the noise and room very hot due to Flat screen TVs and DVDs... more

We booked a last minute stay at The Scotsman, and were offered a reasonable discount on their standard rate for a last minute 3 night booking. You cannot fault the location, or the service, which was exemplary. However our room was far from either 5 stars, or what we had been led to believe. Firstly, our mattress was lacking in... more

We really couldn't have asked for more from the staff, they really helped in every way, restaurant bookings, checking in for our flight etc. My favourite part of the hotel was the breakfasts, absolutely amazing! You have to asked for a bacon sandwich and then wait for what you get served, i really wished we had a camera. Although we... more
