Very clean, good sized and well appointed room. Hotel is in a quiet area but close to the city centre. Perfect for our short stay. Only downside was that staff, while not unpleasant, were not welcoming or helpful.
Loved the location, the atmosphere, and the coziness of this hotel and our room. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even better. Hoping to come back in the future!
The location was excellent. Not too close to the tourist area but not too far. Did not need a car or public transportation as walking from the hotel to all areas was super easy.
We loved our stay at the Royal Scotsman. Our room was large, clean, and quiet. Breakfast was excellent and the staff was very helpful. The location is also great, walking distance to great pubs and eateries, and to Old Town (10 minute walk). We will definitely stay there again when returning to Edinburgh
We had a wonderful stay at The Royal Scots! The staff were always helpful, accommodating and friendly. They provide everything for a very comfortable stay. I am glad we chose to stay here.
Clean room and good location. I thought there should be better security around the room keys though (ie. anyone could walk in the front and ask for a key - no identity check).
Charming, well located, lovely property. Large enough room with comfortable bed. Restaurant was great. Very nice meals!! Would
Highly recommend the Royal Scots Club.
Beautiful architecture in this magnificent Georgian building.Our room was spacious and tastefully furnished and overlooked the gardens.
The breakfast was fabulous,so much choice and perfectly cooked.The staff were very polite and helpful too.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again,astonished it is described as 3 star hotel,it is a 4 star in my opinion.
Great location, lovely old style building, room is spacious and clean, convenient new town location that is close to prince street and other centre attractions
Tidy but dark room in the basement. Room #31. A maze to get to the room. Decent location. Delicious Scottish breakfast. Although, extra charge. Clean and charming restaurant and reception area.
Definitely in a quieter area of Edinburgh. Only a couple of blocks from st Andrew’s square. Definitely still walking distance to Waverly station.
Staff were helpful.
Room was very warm at night they provide a fan which was helpful.
Bar area and lounge nice to sit in the evening and have a beverage.
Breakfast was good.
Clean, quiet, comfortable room. Friendly and very helpful staff. Great breakfast. Close enough to tram, restaurants ans shopping, but still far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. First time in Scotland and this was the perfect place to stay! Highly recommend!
The property was so cool and had great history! The room was very clean and comfortable. The best towels ever and wonderful shower.
The club has access to the private park across the street so that was a bonus to relax there after long days of walking!
Great location, 20 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, 25 minute walk to Holyrood Palace, 15 minute walk to Royal Botanic Garden. Excellent breakfast, no need for lunch. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay. We didn't expect a huge room, given that it was in Edinburgh, so we thought it was a great space considering. Was very clean and quiet. The front desk host was very helpful, and we appreciated being able to leave our bags on the day of checkout as we explored the city. It's hard to find a family space for 4, so this worked great. Great location, great place, wished we had stayed longer.
