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.
