Reviews for The Scotsman Hotel
A COMFORTABLY-ELEGANT WAY TO STAY IN EDINBURGH
Any stay in a city hotel is now measured by our excellent time at THE SCOTSMAN HOTEL. The elegant, Scottish hospitality offered at THE SCOTSMAN is so very welcome to any traveler. Our room was sleekly designed to balance out the classic character of the building…it was comfortable, roomy, and appointed with every convenience. The shower alone was almost worth the price. Food and drink at THE GRAND CAFE was so good we returned again and again. The hotel is situated one block of The Royal Mile and about halfway between Edinburgh Castle and The Palace of Holyroodhouse, so everything is accessible to walking.

Prime spot luxury stay in Edinburgh
Lovely stay in a perfect location in Edinburgh. Our family of 4 loved our stay and all the luxury that came with it. We enjoyed the robes and slippers along with the room service on our first evening as we were tired from our international trip. We were perfectly located to be able to walk to all attractions and restaurants in the city. The staff was lovely and very helpful with every request. You can’t go wrong staying at the Scotsman!

The Scotsman Hotel was phenomenal!
Our stay at the Scotsman Hotel was fabulous! First off, the location of the hotel itself was very convenient to both Waverley train station and the Royal Mile. Secondly, the rooms were beautifully adorned and were accessible for those with mobility challenges. Lastly, the staff were so great!I especially want to thank Ivor and Paulina for the extra care they gave our group. They both absolutely went above and beyond the call of duty and will be remembered by our family for years to come!
