We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding! The food was absolutely amazing, and so many of our guests commented that it was the best food they’d had at a wedding. We really appreciated the flexibility to adapt the menu into a buffet, which worked perfectly for our ceilidh and the relaxed atmosphere we wanted for the evening. The service was fantastic throughout, and the organisation on the day was seamless from start to finish. Everything ran so smoothly that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing and could just relax and enjoy our wedding. The Headline Suite was also the perfect space for getting ready on the morning of the wedding, with a beautiful setting for photos. Klea was particularly fantastic throughout the whole process. She was so helpful, attentive and organised, and we felt completely looked after. The team went above and beyond, even helping us track down our missing cake! Their attention to detail, flexibility and willingness to help made such a difference to our day. We’re so grateful to Klea and the whole team for making our wedding so special and would highly recommend the venue to anyone planning their wedding.

Standard room was great. No need to upgrade in my opinion. Very spacious. Clean neat. Location very convenient for first visit. A little noisy outside at night but nothing that you wouldn’t get in any other city. Touristy area but that’s what we needed for this trip.

We had an amazing experience celebrating our wedding at The Scotsman Hotel. When planning a wedding, there are so many things to think about, but from our very first enquiry, we knew we were in safe hands with Klea. She made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, and everything on the day came together beautifully. The hospitality was fantastic, and we received so many compliments from our guests. The food was amazing, the bar service was excellent, and the professionalism and friendliness of the staff really stood out. We also used several of the suppliers recommended by the hotel, including our photographer, bagpiper, dress, make-up and DJ, and they were all incredibly professional. We also felt that the overall cost was very reasonable for the quality of the experience and service we received. It was absolutely worth it and offered great value for such a special day. A huge thank you to Klea and the entire team at The Scotsman for making our wedding day so special and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

The Scotsman hotel was a great hotel for us in Edinburgh. It was a great location, near Waverly train station and 1 block from the royal mile. It made getting around Edinburgh so easy for first timers and the hotel was absolutely beautiful. It’s worth the splurge to stay here.
