we had room 502 which was a large room with four or five different windows looking in different directions. It was wonderful! The staff was consistently helpful and friendly and we highly recommend this hotel.

Scotsman Hotel in Edinburgh. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome—especially Amelia, who went above and beyond to make our experience fantastic. Every staff member we met was kind and thoughtful. The breakfast was delicious, and the accommodations were incredibly comfortable—light, airy, beautifully decorated, and just perfect for relaxing. We genuinely felt at home, and it’s clear that the team cares about creating a special experience. I can’t wait to return, and I highly recommend it!

Mold in bathrooms on second floor rooms. Mold growing on the ceiling of the shower and terrible carpet stains. Not the quality I was expecting.

The hotel's location is unbeatable for walking from old town to the new town. One elevator was not working so we had to take an elevator to the 7th floor then walk up to the 8th floor to our room via the stairs. The morning was tough to get an elevator due to the cleaning staff. Overall, a great location, nice room and friendly staff. I probably would stay here again just for the charm despite the minor conveniences.

Staff was lovely, however, I paid extra to upgrade to a suite only to be located in what looked like an extension of the hotel. Hallway carpets appeared dirty, doors severely battered. Also room 103 appears to have been possibly two rooms previously as the bedroom door had an electronic keypad on it of which our room key did not work on it so you could not close the door completely otherwise you would not be able to get back in. And leaving it open intruded on the space to get to the left side of the bed. The view or looked at the train station however it was very quiet and you could not hear the noise from the station or the street. Bonus, you’re extremely close to the train station!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Stay at The Scotsman We absolutely loved our stay at The Scotsman. The hotel was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The staff were exceptional—welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which made our first trip to Scotland feel even more special. We also felt very secure throughout our stay. The hotel has a reassuring atmosphere, and everything from the building to the room access felt safe and well managed. The location couldn’t have been better. We had easy access to all the major attractions, restaurants, and sights, which made exploring Edinburgh effortless. We would highly recommend The Scotsman to anyone visiting the area. If we return to Scotland, we’ll definitely hope to stay here again.
