"Very convenient for sight seeing and day trips to other destinations"

9.0

This hotel is a block away from Royal Mile and easy walk to the Edenborough Castle and Mound. The train station is right across the street, which is very convenient for traveling to other destinations. Despite being close to the main train station the area clean and safe. Great breakfast buffet. There is also a great restaurant on the first floor.

The staff is lovely, location and the building itself is great, breakfast is good variety, the atmosphere is delighting. Rooms are very comfortable.

There is only 1 lift which causes you to wait a little during busy hours.

Great location! Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Great continental breakfast option. Comfortable beds. Good shower with hot water and good water pressure.

Everything was great, room size was large and view was pretty! The carpet in our room could use a deep cleaning soon.

"A COMFORTABLY-ELEGANT WAY TO STAY IN EDINBURGH"

10.0

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.
