A nice place to stay with a 24hr desk, elevator and friendly staff. The ‘only’ issue was an evening where the fire alarm went off a number of times and the staff assured patrons that it was a fault sensor - evidently, turned-off temporarily with manual walk around that evening? Some testing was done unannounced the next day (potentially serious but thank goodness no real-emergency). I’m sure the efficient & professional staff will work out the issue, sooner than later. Otherwise, a wonderful, interesting place to stay centrally located in a great walk-about neighborhood full of coffee shops, antique shops & nice dining!! Robert

Overall a really wonderful stay and a fantastic staff. Will never be a fan of having to leave a key at the front desk, and since I had a bad knee at the time, it could be quite a maze to get to our room from the lift-but at least they had a lift! The rooms did overheat a bit and the fan didn't do much to coutneract it, particularly with the bedding, but we slept well and it was decently close to everything we needed.

The Royal Scotsman is a beautiful hotel and a great location! Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, very private, warm and inviting. Only criticisms are; no refrigeration in the rooms made bringing back leftovers from the many surrounding restaurants difficult. Also the WiFi was pretty spotty. Certain areas were a lot better, but it made watching anything on the television near impossible. Other than that it was a great stay and would recommend. Close to all the hustle and bustle of Princes street while being far enough away to be very quiet.

My son and I stayed for 2 nights in March. The hotel is in a fantastic location for exploring Edinburgh but just a little way from the hustle. The rooms are very comfortable and well equipped. The hotel also has lots of interesting aspects because of its military Club association. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend. Excellent value for money.

Peaceful, clean and well located. Would be 5/5 if the internet had been more reliable (no mobile service in room so was dependent on the hotel's WiFi).
