Perfectly located a half block off the Royal Mile, nicely appointed rooms, comfortable beds. Only had 1 meal at the hotel and it was adequate. Nice touches, like Scottish shortbread left in the rooms after cleaning, and water and coffee replenished daily.

We had a wonderful stay at the Scotsman in early August. The gentleman in the beautiful green plaid suit who greeted us at the door was so lovely. He took the time to tell us about Edinburgh and gave us a map and directions to some sights that we inquired about. During our stay, we received several calls from the wonderful folks at the front desk checking to make sure everything was good with us, the hotel and our room. Our room was HUGE! Although we had a room facing the street and the bridge, it was very quiet. The cleaning folks kept our room and the hallways immaculate. If we are ever back in Edinburgh, we will be staying at the Scotsman!

Noisy room with zero privacy. Couldn’t sleep because of all the weird noises that were coming from outside and inside the hotel. Might as well be sleeping on the Scotsman Stairs!

This hotel is next door to Edinburgh Waverley station, so for us arriving via train it was perfect, however if the lower entrance is not open you will need your climbing legs as to reach it there is a set of about 60 steps to ascend or a walk round the block to avoid the stairs. It is a few steps from the Royal Mile so easy access to many of the attractions along there. The staff are really helpful and welcoming and as we arrived early they took our bags from us and placed them in our room when it was ready. The room was spacious and very clean, comfortable and incredibly quiet - we heard no street noise or from the wedding party that was there the night we arrived. The hotel has a small cinema attached which is in a wonderful art deco design with sumptuous seats and allows you to take in the drinks you buy at the bar there and you get a discount if staying at The Scotsman. Overall a wonderful stay and when visiting Edinburgh again we will be staying there.

The staff, led by Ivor, is extraordinary, attentive and caring. They set a tone that carries the place, makes it warmly and quintessentially Scottish. Breakfast is superb, the Grand Cafe very good, and the location amid the heart of The Royal Mile utterly perfect.

Very helpful staff, large comfortable quiet room in a very good location. Breakfast was not good and we stopped eating there after the first morning they need to step up the quality. Hotel is a lovely classic property they do need some new carpeting but it's a clean building. Again the staff and location are excellent. Rooms are very comfortable.

Great comfortable room with ultra modern bathroom. EXTREMELY friendly and helpful staff. The location is absolutely ideal—close to EVERYTHING. My only complaint is that the elevator is old and slow and makes creaky noises, and there are some rooms that require a walk up a flight of stairs from one floor to the next due to all elevators not working, but if I were going back I would definitely stay in Thai hotel again above all others. This is my third trip to the city.

The location is excellent: very central and across from Edinburgh Waverley Train Station. Our room was grand in size yet so was the room rate. Common areas such as carpeting were worn and dirty. Ivor, the concierge, is a classy and knowledgeable Scottish gent.

Room was very nice! We were on the ninth floor so the water took a long time to get hot. Elevator is quite small and was very crowded at time. Great location.

An historic building, convenient to everything on the Royal Mile. Also its lower level entry is super convenient to arrival from the train station, literally across an uncrowded Market Street. Wonderful rooms with sunlight, tastefully appointed. The timely limited access will soon be fixed by a second elevator being installed in the hotel. The staff was always helpful (though the laundry lost two of my dress shirts). I enjoyed my stay immensely.
