This was a surprise trip for me. We stayed for two nights and the room was excellent and the bed was extremely comfortable. All the staff was friendly & helpful. We have stayed in Edinburgh lots of times but staying at the Scotsman was the best overall. If we had the money, I would stay there every time we came... more

Went there for christmas shopping. Highly recommended. Look out for special deals more

Conciarge carried our bag and showed us the room, answered all of our questions, and went through the extent of going to get a map and circle all local points of interest. From the very first day... more

The Scotsman is easily one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. Service (except for unecessarily high fees for use of internet service) and location could not be beat but beware, this hotel does not have air conditioning.
