This hotel is so wonderful, from the moment you pull up until the moment you check out. The staff is incredible, and the facility is immaculate and beautiful. It's my new go-to stay when I'm in Edinburgh.

We had an excellent experience at The Scott. The staff were all very friendly and our room was consistently refreshed every time we came back in the evenings. It's not in the center of the city, but the walk isn't bad for all the central spots and many bus routes stop right outside the hotel. Overall extremely satisfied and would recommend.

It was a very clean and cozy room. The breakfast selection was very good. I only missed fresh fruit (salad), yoghurt and/or muesli. The bar selection is very nice.

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.

The location is perfect, right near Arthur’s seat and easy access into the main centre (via bus or a 25 min walk). The staff were so kind and helpful with anything that we needed and the breakfast is a must! The hotel was absolutely beautiful, but the staff made the experience 10/10. We will definitely be coming back, we felt welcomed upon arrival and the free parking is a bonus! Absolutely exceptional.

Quiet location, bus stop is just outside the Pollock Halls grounds. Walking distance to the city. It is an old building, very charming and well maintained. However, there is no lift , staircases are narrow , getting help to bring luggage up can be a bit of of a wait. Overall, always a lovely stay.

My room was absolutely lovely! It had a little sitting nook that looked out at Arthur’s Seat. The staff was very friendly and super helpful! The location is right by public transport. My room was ready when I arrived quite early! My only complaint was that they’d run out of venison at the restaurant, and only part of the bathroom floor is heated. I will definitely stay at this hotel again. I highly recommend it!
