Royal Scots Club  

A good old-fashioned club / hotel but with no compromise on comfort, nor any pretentiousness. Lovely surroundings, architecture and fittings. Staff are first class for the cost of the club.

Location and atmosphere of the club, friendly and helpful staff combined with a spacy room and a very satisfying breakfast make this the perfect base for a city break to Edinburgh.

There is a "jacket and tie" dress code for the restaurant. Although it is not enforced for breakfast, it would have been helpful to have known in advance. The early supper and dinner menu did look intriguing, but our travel wardrobe unfortunately did not include the necessary dress items.

Very friendly. Much more welcoming than an anonymous hotel group. We really enjoyed our stay.

Only one thing - the keyboard and monitor for the computer in the reception area - for use by guests - was very gimy and dirty.

Old world atmosphere Good breakfast Friendly staff

Stayed over New Year 2011/12. Hotel has maintained its origins as a military club and is furnished accordingly. Room (21) was large and very comfortable. Not many places you get a chaise lounge to "drape" your clothes over!!! Bed was very comfortable if on the firm side, which might not be for everyone. Room was very warm and the central heating was excellent. Bathroom was well appointed with an excellent shower and plenty of piping hot water. Breakfast was excellent and service was good. Staff on desk were extremely helpful and gave spot on advice. All in all, a very pleasant stay and would recommend and use again

These are observations not complaints. Querky bedside lights, may not be for everybody. Unusual to find sheets and blankets instead of the usual duvet at this sort of hotel. Possibly not enough power points near desk for a business traveller. Tv was an old crt model with a freeview box, would have thought for the cost flat screen tv would be the norm. Having said that it worked fine. Basement location of some rooms may not appeal to all. Dress code should be made more obvious on booking form. Unusual but nice in a way, in these very"casual" times

We found our stay at the Club extremely enjoyable. The staff were very friendly, courteous and efficient. Breakfast was excellent. The room was very comfortable. All I can say is that it was a unique experience.

The only downside to room 10 was that it did go very cold. The sash windows were very drafty and the radiator is under the window so bit of a double edged sword. Once you closed the curtains there was no heat in the room. We did ask for a portable heater but it did not arrive. However we did not complain too much as it is December and it was on one of the windiest evenings of the month!

Have stayed at this hotel before the staff are very friendly and helpful, rooms are decorated to a very high standard, the breakfast is excellent and the location of the hotel central and great for all the tourist attractions

Conveniently located, easy to park, helpful friendly staff, reassuringly old fashioned ambience coupled with a warm welcome, and good value, makes the Royal Scots Club the perfect place to stay in Edinburgh. Will we come again? Yes!

The cleanliness of our room, in particular the bathroom, left quite a lot to be desired and it is looking a little frayed round the edges. Otherwise v comfortable. As for the tv and its digibox please do not inflict these infuriating devices on your guests any longer unless you install a cardiac resuscitation unit!

It is very coveniently located in the New Town,perfect for seeking out restaurants and near to all shops.The rooms are comfortable.The breakfast was ok with very good service.

We thought the hotel felt a bit "tired". The room was comfortable but very old fashioned,without the luxury feel of a country house hotel. We made a complaint about the light over the wash basin not working but noone ever turned up to put it right.There was an overall feeling that the hotel exists as a function house for dinners(often military),weddings,meetings,rather than a special place to stay. The breakfast was adequate but not particularly wonderful ,though the service was extremely good.

I loved its history, character and military background which I was not aware of when booking. I liked the fact that it was homely and friendly and not over crowded. Very suitable for a solo traveller who could enjoy the peace and quiet of the lounge after a long day's work. Very convenient to the city with good facilities and comfortable rooms. Food and service were excellent. Fair price.

Room and ensuite spotless. Escellent breakfast. Helpful staff.

Room in basement.
