The Scott

Hotel in Newington, Edinburgh

Welcome to The Scott, where history intertwines with luxury in the heart of Edinburgh's Southside.

truly enjoyed my stay at The Scott. The property is beautifully designed in an elegant Scottish style that makes you feel like you’re staying in a small castle — a perfect blend of charm and understated luxury. The staff were exceptionally polite and attentive, always ready to help with any questions or requests. Although the room was not very large, it was thoughtfully furnished, cozy, and had everything we needed. I particularly appreciated the small touches — like the daily treats, cookies, and coffee provided in the room. These little details made the whole experience feel extra special and warm. I would also like to highlight the breakfast — the atmosphere was simply wonderful. The dining room was stunning, the service excellent, and the food both delicious and beautifully presented. There was a nice selection to choose from, and it truly felt like a luxurious start to the day — the perfect way to begin exploring Edinburgh.

Amazing room, a view, every little detail in the room. Sparkling clean. The breakfast in the cafe connected to the hotel (The Huxley), a lot of options, all taste perfect, and the staff is very friendly. We also went to their bar a bit further the road - nice and quiet, 20% off on food for the guests. All in all - we loved our stay!

Hosts were super nice, friendly and accommodating. Loved home made breakfast every day, fresh and delicious. Neighbourhood is quiet and not too far from the city. The whole stay felt like home stay with family and friends rather than just a stay. Loved the whole experience and ambience.
