Edinburgh has it's positives but I much prefer other areas...
Edinburgh has it's positives but I much prefer other areas of Scotland. Glasgow seems to have less of the unnecessary Snobbery. Edinburgh isn't London after all. Glasgow has amazing architecture and there's more a warmth to the Locals over there and all of the Taxi Drivers seem like natural comedians. You also get more value for your money in other areas of Scotland too. Edinburgh isn't a true representation of Scotland. Stirling Castle is much more of a spectacle than Edinburgh Castle which is known to the Glasweigens as 'that hoose on the hill', it's more of a Military Museum than an Actual Castle. Spend a day in Edinburgh and as that's truly all you need. There's so much more to Scotland than it's shallow Capital.

Fantastic city. My new favourite!
Fantastic city. My new favourite!
Transport links to and from the Airport are excellent(you couldn’t go wrong). We took the tram which got us into the main city centre in 30 minutes. It leaves every 7/8 minutes. It was great value for money (£9.50 return) but you can get the bus as well. Easy city to navigate around.
We walked everywhere, although there are a lot of steps and hills. (keep in mind if you’ve got less able bodied people in your group). Lots of laneways and side streets to explore.
We found the people very friendly and helpful.
We did a couple of tours to outside the city to Loch Lomond through Timberbush tours(we booked on Viatour which made it easy) we found these very good but there is more than enough to do in the city itself to keep you busy. There are hop on hop off bus tours available around the Waverley market area). We also did a walking tour of Edinburgh castle which was very good and informative. Most of these tours meet along the Royal Mile which is easy to find.
A clean and well maintained city for the most part.
We stayed in York place which was within easy walking distance of a lively area which had loads of options for dining of every budget.
We will definitely be back.

Fantastic city - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and will...
Fantastic city - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and will return to see more. I had four days, but honestly could have spent four weeks and still not have gotten to see as much as I wanted. The caste tour was very enjoyable, and dinner after at The Witchery was one of the best I've ever had. Best of all were the people of Edinburgh; incredibly friendly, helpful, and they all actually seemed happy. Followed this visit with a trip to the Czech Republic, where I don't think I met a single happy person in four days, much less anyone who was semi-approachable. I'll see much more of Scotland next time round. I wont be going back to CZ.
We had a brilliant stay in Edinburgh, the hotel were brilliant. We were surprized by the size of the room, as we expected something smaller. The bathroom was a really good size with all the necessary toiletries.
The staff was brilliant, very helpful, they kept our luggage both on the day or arrival and departure.
The hotel is right in the centre, 1 minute walk to the royal mile. It is a brilliant location if you want to explore Edinburgh city centre.
We really enjoyed our stay and we will be going back again.
The location is fabulous - it's located on Victoria Street, a colorful street with nice little shops and restaurants and "Old Town" architecture. It is also 2/3 minutes away from the Royal Mile and the Castle. It's really in the heart of old town Edinburgh.
The staff were so nice and attentive. We traveled with a baby and they gave her a little unicorn book (that we came to learn is Scotland's national animal).
The hotel decor is bold and the room was spacious, comfortable, and again with bold decor.
Fantastic hotel, the best experience you can desire for a holiday in Edinburgh. It has everything you need, staff very welcoming and charming, clean elegant and very pleasant hotel. Perfect location there is also a bus stop right outside the hotel that takes you directly to the city centre. I stayed in an single room and I had the best view 🪟 of it.
Breakfast it's the best, very generous and delicious.
I can't wait to come back again.
The staff is just the best. So friendly and helpful!
Loved the location (walkable distance to the city centre, tram and bus stop conveniently nearby). It is very quiet both in the area and in the hotel.
The place is very cozy and clean. The have all the necessary amenities in the room - hairdryer, soaps etc. And even little sweets and tea-coffee making facilities.
We also ordered breakfast and it was delicious.
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, not too far from Edinburgh city centre, we took a taxi into the city one day and it cost just over £20. The staff were very friendly, the room was clean and the shower was great. We didn’t use the facilities since we were out but they have a wide range of things to do, and the pool is open late. The bar staff were very friendly, and introduced me to my new favourite cocktail!
The Scholar is a well managed hotel, great room and a very comfortable bed. In fact the bathroom was spacious and modern. The whole facility is both modern and homely - excellent facilities all round. Great location and handy bus options for accessing Edinburgh city centre. The best part of the location is that it is a quiet neighbourhood.
The room was clean. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Really good breakfast starting at 0700 so you can get an early start to your day.
Excellent location. The 100 Edinburgh Airport shuttle bus stops right outside the hotel and you can walk to the city centre from the hotel in 10 mins.
It will be my go to hotel for future visits.
The location is brilliant! Right in the city centre, it is less than a 10-minute walk to all areas you would want to visit - Edinburgh Castle, Rose Street, St James Quarter etc.
The hotel staff was incredibly tentative! Made sure we enjoyed our stay!
The room was great! Love the simplistic nature of it!
3rd stay here and this time we were given a room facing main road it was quite noisy due to constant traffic....that is our only down side, we will definitely be going back but will ask for a quieter room .... definitely recommend this hotel...only 15 minutes on bus to Edinburgh City centre...
Really well set up, and much more comfortable than a hotel. We also enjoyed being within easy reach of city centre while still being in a quieter, less touristy part of town. It was the perfect base for exploring Edinburgh!
Ideally located out of Edinburgh city centre for those wanting to avoid traffic jams.
Warm welcome on arrival and really friendly staff.
Modern hotel with good facilities.
Breakfast was the best of our trip.
Excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms that are safe, clean, and quiet. Great place to stay in Edinburgh New Town. Pretty accessible to Old Town, but still a walk of about 15-30 min, depending on where you go.
The Staff, location was excellent with great bus link connection to/from hotel... great location to Old Town, to New Town, to restaurants.. Big towels a plus... The whole thing worked... Thank you 💫
Great hotel, close to city centre and superb value.
No cooked breakfast due to Covid restrictions but substitute was more than adequate.
Will definitely stay again when next in Edinburgh
Excellent apartment room with all facilities at a reasonable price. The room included all the details you would expect in a 5- star hotel. Excellent location in Old Town city centre.
The location. The hotel is just in the middle of Edinburgh's Old Town, so most of the historic and sightseeing places are very near. The breakfast was very good too.
The room was absolutely amazing. Perfect for a stay in Edinburgh. It was a beautiful hotel in a great location. Quiet but close for walks and to the city centre.
Hotel is in a good location with parking facilities and easy access to Edinburgh City Centre. Breakfast good. Rooms bigger than most city centre hotels.
