Overall Ratings & Reviews The Royal Scots Club Edinburgh

This property is unique and really a whole different experience than I’d find anywhere else. From the key entry to the furnishings to the decor, this place oozes history and a level of luxury which can’t be found in many other places. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and offer a level of personalized service… we felt that we mattered, we weren’t just the next client in the machine. We would absolutely come back. Thank you!

This was a very nice place to stay. Off the beaten path but in a very nice neighborhood. The club had a lot of history that was fun to investigate. Staff was super nice and helpful.

Booked as a Christmas gift for my parents - they haven’t stopped raving about it since. Have heard more about the hotel than their trip to Edinburgh! They loved the history and atmosphere and said the staff were delightful and it was well located for wandering around the city. Really surprised that somewhere I took a total chance on was such an unexpected holiday highlight for them!

The property has a lot of Scottish military history that you can peruse on the various levels of the establishment. The staff were amazingly helpful giving us directions to the various tours and attractions in and around Edinburgh. They had good maps of the area and arranged taxis for us when we needed them. All and all a wonderful place to stay.

Great place for the value. Location awesome, good little bar, nice breakfast location, large room, charming but older decor.

A nice place to stay with a 24hr desk, elevator and friendly staff. The ‘only’ issue was an evening where the fire alarm went off a number of times and the staff assured patrons that it was a fault sensor - evidently, turned-off temporarily with manual walk around that evening? Some testing was done unannounced the next day (potentially serious but thank goodness no real-emergency). I’m sure the efficient & professional staff will work out the issue, sooner than later. Otherwise, a wonderful, interesting place to stay centrally located in a great walk-about neighborhood full of coffee shops, antique shops & nice dining!! Robert

Great stay

Amazing Staff and great location. a very elegant, historic and spacious Hotel.

Overall a really wonderful stay and a fantastic staff. Will never be a fan of having to leave a key at the front desk, and since I had a bad knee at the time, it could be quite a maze to get to our room from the lift-but at least they had a lift! The rooms did overheat a bit and the fan didn't do much to coutneract it, particularly with the bedding, but we slept well and it was decently close to everything we needed.

Quaint property with very friendly staff. Clean comfortable rooms and a in-house restaurant and bar.

Very good location. Very comfortable rooms. Well functioning shower. No view outside. Daniela, at reception, was especially kind and helpful. I would stay there again.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful area. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful!

The Royal Scotsman is a beautiful hotel and a great location! Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, very private, warm and inviting. Only criticisms are; no refrigeration in the rooms made bringing back leftovers from the many surrounding restaurants difficult. Also the WiFi was pretty spotty. Certain areas were a lot better, but it made watching anything on the television near impossible. Other than that it was a great stay and would recommend. Close to all the hustle and bustle of Princes street while being far enough away to be very quiet.

Wonderful people, beautiful room. Right near a busy street so some noise but not through the entire night. Would stay here again.

Spacious. Near the centre of the city, friendly, historical charm

Weather was good, hotel was very good, staff was great,

The only negative thing I can say was the room was a bit hot and no AC. There was a fan provided and that did help. The hair dryer was broken and the staff provided me a new one immediately.

It was a great stay in a convenient location.

Loved the room. Very walkable to many restaurants, stores, and sights. Room is small but comfortable with all the amenities. Bar is a lovely spot with friendly staff.
