Very charming hotel, very clean, and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast was good, but get there early as they do run out of some things. The lounge area was nice for relaxing, and there is a little outdoor seating area that was very pleasant. Great location for exploring Royal Mile and surrounding area.

Our stay at the Royal Scots Club was excellent from beginning to end. The building is full of character, combining historic charm with modern comfort. The location is ideal—on a quiet street, yet within easy walking distance of Edinburgh’s major sights. The staff was consistently professional, courteous, and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable, and attractive, and the breakfasts were very good with a nice selection each morning. We would gladly stay at the Royal Scots Club again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located place to stay while visiting Edinburgh.

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.
