Reviews for The Scotsman Hotel
Unberable construction noise all night
Because of construction right under the windows of the hotel room my husband could not sleep at all. He came down reception several times at night and complained about unbearable noise. The construction work ended only at 3:50 am. The person at the reception told him that he would be compensated for the inconvenience but that did not happen yet.

Stefano is a legend!
Stefano is a truly amazing concierge. He went above and beyond the call of duty to assist us. He happily volunteered to carry four very large, very heavy suitcases up a massive flight of stairs. He was polite, sociable, and a great conversationalist. If there were a Concierge of the Year award, Stefano would certainly win it. Thank you, Stefano, for making our very first experience in Scotland one of kindness and generosity. We will be booking at the Scotsman again in the future because of Stefano.

Genuine hospitality
We had an amazing stay at The Scotsman Hotel, made even more memorable by the outstanding service from Sudan. From the moment we arrived, he took exceptional care of us and made us feel genuinely welcome. He kindly helped us secure a restaurant reservation, provided excellent recommendations, and ensured every detail of our stay was taken care of. His attention to detail, professionalism, and personal approach truly stood out. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our experience special. Sudan is a real asset to the hotel, and his dedication to guest service is one of the reasons we'll definitely be returning.
