Excellent small friendly hotel. Last time in Edinburgh we stayed at a large quality central hotel, this was a lot better. Great check in, shown to room on 3rd floor. No lift but happy to help with cases. Quiet area, excellent bus connections to centre. Best was no. 30 from city centre/, 12 minutes to Commonwealth pool stop near hotel. Day bus & tram ticket about £6 or use contactless capped at £6. Evening dined at Scholar adjacent sister hotel good food sensible menu. Other restaurants in the area or wide range in the city. Will be back next time in Edinburgh

My partner and I loved our stay at the Scott. It’s a nice area and away from the craziness of the royal mile in Edinburgh. The decor and vibe of the hotel is so cool! The room was amazing!! The rooms are very modern with gorgeous bathrooms and showers. The soap and body wash/body lotion smells amazing. The robes and slippers gave it a luxurious feel. We also dined at the restaurant and did the tasting menu. The staff pulled out the red carpet for us it felt like- the tasting menu was incredible! And the presentation and care from the staff was top notch. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will highly recommend it to others. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your comfort. This place is truly a gem!

Everything was amazing, the staff from concierge to housekeeping were super friendly and helpful. The only thing which a couple of times at 6 am in the morning there was a lot of banging. But otherwise it was a great experience and will for sure book there again.

What a lovely stay. We didn’t get to enjoy the restaurant since we were out exploring, but the bar area was fantastic and the staff was extremely helpful. Loved the room. It was quiet and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. Would stay here again.

We stayed here a week and a half for our honeymoon. It was lovely! Very helpful staff, comfortable bedding, clean rooms, and a nice breakfast spread. No complaints whatsoever!! It's close to a bunch of lovely shops and places to eat. We did not have a single boring moment the whole trip! The building is old, so lifts aren't available, but that wasn't an issue for us. Would stay here again for sure!

Staying at The Scott was a special experience! The property is gorgeous and the staff was friendly and eager to help. My room was large, nicely appointed, very clean and comfortable. The good was excelllent. One note: there was only one available outlet in my room, and it was nowhere near a mirror. I hope to stay here again (but next time I will bring my lighted makeup travel mirror!)

This property is great in every aspect except two. Parking can be difficult as they have limited spots. Also, the dinner. Menu is limited and prices are very high. We did not get dinner while out one day and quickly realized we should ha e. We planned better after that day and found food while out and about. They front desk staff are phenomenal and answered all of our questions and gave us suggestions too. Everyone was polite way beyond what we would expect staying in a stateside hotel. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it.
