The Scotsman is a really great place. It's worth it. We spent there two different days in a same week.

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

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

This Hotel is right at the start of Old Town. RIght down the block and up the hill is the Edinburgh Castle. The location is very convenient. The rooms are very comfortable. Interesting set up, you enter the hotel on the 4th floor at reception. The restaurant is very good. It was a nice place to go for drinks and... More

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

Recently spent two nights at this hotel as part of our anniversary celebrations. Before arrival booked an anniversary dinner for the second night, staff incredibly helpful in making arrangements. When we arrived the welcome was first class and we were upgraded to an excellent suite. The quality of the furnishings, equipment and comfort was of the highest standard. All staff... More

We have just returned from a 3 night Anniversary break at The Scotsman. The hotel is ideally situated in the centre of town a short walk from everything. We arrived at Waverley Station and it is literally across the road. All staff we encountered were polite, helpful and friendly. We stayed in a classic room so my review is based... More
