I arrived before check-in time and my room was not yet ready. The friendly receptionist quickly conferred and not only could I get to my room but also got an upgrade. The porter, a friendly Scot showed me to the room and offered to help out with the features. I should have asked him so because I could hardly get... More

My wife and I stayed @ The Scotsman for her 30th Birthday weekend yesterday. Staff are very friendly and although perhaps the Hotel could do with an renovation here and there, dont let that put you off staying at this hotel. We were upgraded to a Suite (thank you!) and had a fabulous view of Edinburgh from our hotel room.... More

I booked two nights at the Scotsman as a 30th birthday treat for my partner. I booked a "study room" but on arrival we discovered that we had been upgraded to a "Deluxe room" with a city view. The room (603) was very nice but perhaps a little tired. The View was amazing looking over to the new town and... More

We received a very warm welcome to the hotel and the room was of high quality, the bed was particularly comfortable. The service at front of house was excellent both at check in and check out and the staff were very helpful throughout our stay. The one dissapointment was the bar, on returning to the hotel after a meal in... More

A spur of the moment weekend, had a Bannatyne Spa day voucher to use on Queen Street, so decided to make a weekend of it and book a hotel. This is the first time I have stayed in The Scotsman, always been put off by my presumption that as it is on the main tourist drag service would be rubbish.... More

Went to see the "King and I" with my wife as part of my Xmas present to her on the Friday after New Year. Decided to stay at the Scotsman as an extra treat. People were very friendly and the room was great. However a couple of negatives. The food in the restraurant was pretty plain (perhaps because we were... More

This was our first Christmas away from home so we were a bit unsure of what to expect. The hotel was almost full but despite that the service was excellent and the staff faultless - especially Angela, who seemed to be constantly working as we regularly encountered her but who was friendly and professional on every meeting. Initially we had... More

We spent an evening at the Scotsman one Saturday in early December - found a great deal on laterooms and didn't expect a great room as it was a brilliant price. On arrival we couldn't find our way to reception as we entered by the spa door - no problem, however, as the lovely concierge escorted us to reception and... More

Excellent weekend stay. Comfortable room, wonderfully friendly Staff who couldn't do enough for us. Excellent breakfast. We usually stay ihn another of Edinburgh's 5* establishments, but due to that place being refurbished, we chose the Scotsman instead, and we are very pleased we did! I can't find fault with anything, other than the trouser press slightly blocking access through the... More
