Amazing
Posted on Apr 5, 2023
I think it is very cool looking hotel, it did state it was renovated recently but you can’t tell it from bathrooms as radiator was leaking badly. Breakfast was nice but by the 9am mark they ran out of some items. Staff were lovely.

The hotel is wonderful in its architecture, also the room was very comfortable and quiet. The staff was very attentive, friendly and helped at all times. The only drawback was the coffee machine that didn't work and the breakfast time, which ended up being served too early: 10am.

My flight was late and I arrived at Edinburgh from London late at night. It was already past one in the morning when I arrived at the hotel. The reception was on duty and it was very nice! The room is right above the entrance, the bedding is very comfortable, and the breakfast the next day is great, but the space is limited and you have to queue up. If you have time, you can enjoy it slowly!

Let’s talk about the shortcomings first. The room is small and there is no air conditioning.
Then there are the advantages: free parking, the 1750 castle is full of classic elegance, and the breakfast is very delicious!
Four-word summary: The hotel is worth it!

My room was large and very well appointed. Bathroom was large and quite luxurious. Service was excellent and staff were very personable and attentive. Dining room was lovely and cooked-to-order breakfast was delicious. I’d happily stay at The Scott again. It’s also perfectly located for events at The University of Edinburgh.

The Scott Hotel team went out of their way to help us check in early after our sleepless night on the Caledonian Sleeper. This is a lovely hotel and we will be back to stay at it again.
We gave 3/5 stars for the areas surrounding The Scott Hotel as we think more can be done with The Scholar’s bar next door, which is the option as a hotel bar for The Scott Hotel. Perhaps install more welcoming lighting as it was very brightly lit.
But that’s a minor quibble about our fantastic stay.

The heating in the room was turned way too high as we arrived, it was like a sauna, apparently to compensate for the cold weather outside :) Everything else went great; friendly staff, clean hotel, delicious breakfast.

University hotels and Bistro next door. Taxi ride from the City Centre but walkable if fit - 30 mins. Charming 17th C decor in breakfast room and lounges. Arthur’sSeat is nearby in Holyrood Park and a great area for walking.

Situated within the University of Edinburgh near Holyrood. Free parking. Lovely setting and hotel. We were in Room 25 and it was very comfortable and spacious. You can dine in the adjacent Scholars Hotel but we did not try it. Breakfast was lovely. The hotel is close to the Commonwealth Pool. It’s an easy 25 mins walk to Princes Street with lots to see along the way. Buses 2,4,14,30 and 33 will take you into town for £2. We will book here again as it’s such a lovely relaxed place.

The hotel is beautifully appointed. The rooms were spotlessly clean and very clean and fitted in a contemporary style. The main areas of the hotel were beautiful and traditional to the building. The bathroom were clean, and large with fab soft towels if a little utilitarian in design compared to everything else. A great shower with lovely products to use. I'd definitely use this hotel again. Staff were very polite and helpful.

Beautiful hotel and location, it felt like calm surroundings in the university area. We explored Arthur's Seat nearby, with wonderful views on the way up.
We felt a heartwarming welcome in all the interactions with the friendly staff. Great bed and breakfast!
