Royal Scots Club  

A place to stay with historical connections. Excellent staff. Good breakfast and the one evening meal we had was the same. Quiet location less than half a mile from Princes St and there are many restaurants and pubs on the way

The 'hotel', which is based on the Major Officers' Club in Scotland (ie rather like the Army and Navy club in London), is in a run of magnificent Adams houses in one of the best streets in the New Town of Edinburgh. The conversion has meant some sacrifices of Georgian style - but has preserved many others, eg a splendid dining room on the piano nobile. An excellent location and reasonable value for money - if you spend more than one night to qualify for the lower rates.

The Club does have its downside - a slightly stuffy atmosphere compared with the more boutique town house hotel - but these alas are now few and far between!

I wanted to stay at a hotel that made me feel I was in Scotland,not some anodine anywhere hotel and one without the faux tartan. You cant get more Scottish than this. We have stayed before. The location is perfect- in the beautiful New Town right by the shopping/art/tourist areas opposite lovely gardens and nice and quiet.The staff cant do enough for you. The public rooms are gorgeous and our bedroom - a 4 poster-bedded room overlooking the gardens( which we were given as a free upgrade) was beautiful,spacious and very comfortable. a joy to wake up in. The price,through booking.com was remarkably good for this quality of hotel. We will certainly go again

Although the choice at breakfast was very good and some of the cooked food was great - the porrige and the poached eggs in particular, some of it felt like it had been sat and warmed up. The scambled eggs had been waiting a while, the tomatos and mushrooms had clearly been held under a heat lamp and we didnt get a warm slice of toast the whole time we were there. Maybe a bit picky but small changes in the kitchen would make a big difference to the quality of the breakfast.

Shame that you do not do a room service option for breakfast. As it cost a lot and not to get breakfast if you over sleep having paid £162.00 made the stay disappointing.

Not having room service

Friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Rooms were cosy and inviting.

Central location, close to Princes Street, particularily enjoyed the restaurant and the staff were extremely helpful. The bar area was particularily welcoming, unfortunately it was rather taken over by a large crowd of business people, however we were able to use the members lounge which was like stepping back in time. All in all a very enjoyable experience

The absence of a car park could create a problem for people bringing their own car, although there are meters nearby

The hotel was spotlessly clean, our room was comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food delicious. The location was excellent for theatre visits, shopping in Princes St. And sightseeing in the old town.

Quiet location, very clean and friendly hotel with good food and service.This is my second visit to the Royal Scots Club and will continue to be my choice for future visits.

The hotel is small, comfortable & well located. Service is polite & friendly.

We loved the history of the Royal Scots and the regimental connection. We are history buffs and to be able to stay in the club was a real treat for us. The staff was excellent, very kind, helpful, and fun. The room was fantastic and the facilities were excellent. We had a blast coming back from our evening out to join some veterans at the lounge and get to know them a little.

We stayed at The Royal Scots Club for three nights and loved it, location was good within easy reach of all the main attractions and about a 7 minute walk to Princes Street.We were in Room no 4 which was spotless with a large comfortable bed, big bathroom with both a bath and shower facilities seperate which is unusual nowadays.The big bonus is the complimentary tea,coffee,water and not forgetting the shortbread a lovely extra touch and much appreciated after being out sightseeing all day.Breakfast was fablous and we were spoilt for choice even given a menu to choose from and then served by a very friendly and efficient waitress.A special mention to William on reception who was very friendly and always had a smile for everyone.When we return to Edinburgh we will stay again at The Royal Scots Club as we had a most enjoyable trip.

Nice clubby feel to the place. Plenty of character. Excellent location within easy reach of all main sights, restaurants etc.
