Emplacement parfait. On peut tout faire à pied. Chambre spacieuse. Personnel très sympathique.
Les dysfonctionnements de l'ascenseur. 8 ème étage et l'ascenseur était en panne le jour du départ. Quelques difficultés pour se faire comprendre... Le personnel ne parle pas francais. Sinon, séjour agréable et restaurant parfait. Nous y reviendrons..

Stunning hotel, staff were lovely!
We got engaged in the hotel and the reception staff organised some fizz for us, very thoughtful!
There was a loud busy electrical sound coming from a cupboard in our room, 402. Im a light sleeper and it made it hard to sleep.

The hotel was beautiful.
We didn’t get the complimentary newspaper and our tv didn’t work. I called on multiple occasions to have it fixed as I would have liked to have connected to Netflix or anything really to watch a movie on my birthday evening however I was told on our second day that our tv wasn’t a smart tv even though it had all the apps on the tv and it is supposed to be included in the room.

The old building with a cinema!
The bed was very hard and very high. Room not serviced until afternoon. No bottle opener!

Very modern, with a nice view of the city and friendly staff too. Room was also clean and quite fancy in service and bathroom toiletries. Clean and very secure too, made to feel like your true personal ownership of room
Windows we’re practically trapped to open up. Along with that on the first day our AC was not working. We were provided a fan and next day before leaving for the day, I left a note mentioning AC to be fixed, to which it was. Still, windows open would’ve been nice.

The location was outstanding, 3 of the total staff only were hard working and very friendly
The cleaning process was very bad the cleaning personnel did not change the sheets even when we ASKED for it more than once there were stains all over the carpet and pillow cases and it was obvious that no vacuum done at all during our stay, also there was a situation where we needed urgent help from the staff but they done nothing but googling the information with no effort to help at all . The attitude of the staff and the hygiene doesn’t meet the value we paid and the hotel rate. I exclude mr Ivor concierge and the two breakfast staff unfortunately and don’t recall their names

Very clean and updated rooms/bathrooms. The shower was really fantastic! Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
The beds were pretty stiff and the pillows were extremely thin which we found to be not the most comfortable.

The hotel is very clean. The staff were so friendly, it was the perfect, quiet room to recover from days of plane travel.
I loved the fire as you entered.. Handy to the Royal Mile, the main train station.
I had a comfortable bed and slept in quiet. The complementary nightcap was much appreciated. Lovely bathroom and shower.
Nothing, it was all good.

There was some weird unpleasant smell around the elevator all the time.

Fantastic location, and the staff were so friendly and helpful.
Decor looks better in the photos, looking a little worn out in person - but this is the only negative.

Avoid this hotel at all costs. It did not go as we planned. The hotel charged us for the alcohol that we did not consume after we left without saying anything. They did not check with us, inform us or give us any kind of receipt. This is not acceptable. very unpleasant experience. Please be very careful with this hotel.
We did not consume any alcohol from the minibar at all. Both my girlfriend and I do not drink alcohol at all. The hotel charged us 40 pounds for consuming alcohol from the mini bar. When we checked out from the Scotsman hotel, nobody informed us of the costs associated with alcohol. Only charged us for the breakfast. If I do not check my credit card history, I will not able to see these charges. No receipt or confirmation was offered when charged my credit card. This is very unprofessional. Please be very careful with this hotel.
