Wonderful stay. The building is lovely and has the perfect, Scottish Country Estate feel. The bar is cozy, the breakfast delicious and all the staff are warm and welcoming. The location is very walkable from downtown Edinburgh - about 20 minutes or a quick, inexpensive Uber ride if the weather breaks. We would absolutely stay again.

The room and grounds are beautiful, however they dont have fridge and microwave in the room so you'll have to eat out exclusively if youre there more than a night. Also Ubers do not come directly to the hotel, they go to the reception center which isnt a problem just wanted to tell others because it can be troublesome.

This was one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. It’s so beautiful and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. The food at Abacus was delicious and the staff there were also very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend the Scott.

Forgot that the 1st floor was up a level, so should have asked for rooms that would not require going up any stairs. Had trouble finding the place originally. The staff and hotel were great!

Hotel is absolutely beautiful and really peaceful as its on the Edinburgh university campus. staff just could not have been more helpful. We were unable to use the dining room for breakfast as we had our dog with us, so they set us up our own dining area in a reception room where we had breakfast served to us separately. Now trying to find an excuse to return

Breakfast was fresh and delicious though the buffet was rather limited. The hotel is a beautiful old building and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in room 37, which along with room 36 is 4 flights up with no lift so not suitable for everyone. The staff did help us with our luggage. Additionally the ceilings in our room are such that the bathroom mirror was exceedingly low. You’ll have to bend over to see yourself and do the tasks for which you need a mirror. Finally the location is about 25-30 walk to the Royal Mile/castle area with several good restaurants about a 10 minute walk away. All in all a nice hotel but for the aforementioned reasons 4 stars is as far as I’ll go.
