This was a great place to stay during our three nights in Edinburgh! I loved the location as it wasn’t in a super busy area but was close enough to everything that you could walk or take public transportation. The buses were easy to use, you could just scan your credit card when you got on. The restaurant on site was very good and we enjoyed our breakfasts and some dinner there as well. The room we were in had nice tree-filled views and we were able to leave the windows open for a lovely cross breeze and to hear the birds chirping away. One downside is the location is near a busy road and on a college campus so you will definitely hear road noise all night and people walking by if you leave the windows open. Nothing some ear plugs can’t help with though. I’d definitely stay there again!

We are delighted with this hotel and its staff. In a quiet location on the University of Edinburgh campus, yet only about a 30 minute walk or inexpensive cab ride to the Royal Mile. Breakfast was very good and allowed us to skip the time and expense of having lunch. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a quiet oasis at the end of a busy day.

The scholar is a nice hotel in a lovely setting surrounded by trees. I had a small single room but it worked for me for the price. Quite easy to get into Edinburgh cental from the bus stoop across the street, too.

It’s a lovely spot. However, we were placed in a room located on ground floor right beside all the door entries & also the lifts which meant the noise was absolutely atrocious to even try & relax. This was also a birthday stay and when checking in, the people before us for some reason were rewarded a free beverage for their booking and we weren’t. My mother was massively disappointed as I had made the hotel aware we were coming over for her birthday and they didn’t offer us anything. Service in the restaurant took a bit of time but that’s okay as I expect that in most places and the food was lovely. The bar staff (girls who were on the night of my stay) were lovely but again I overheard their manager being rude to them and I felt this was really inappropriate in front of anyone having a drink that evening. I would come back, but I wouldn’t be happy if they placed me in the same room so I would make that very clear if I was to return. However, mum has said she wouldn’t return due to all the issues and her being older. The hotel isn’t too far away from the city centre but you will need to get on a tram from the airport to the town and then a bus towards the hotel if you struggle with walking. Taxis are available, I would imagine it will cost a hefty amount if this was from the airport to the hotel.
