The Best Stay ever!
There are no words sufficient to express the degree to which we loved our stay at the Scott Hotel in Edinburgh. The staff are the nicest, warmest, most friendly people imaginable, and all catered to our smallest - and largest -requests! They moved serving tables to accommodate us and our friends for a supper in their cozy Velvet Lounge, and served the meals from their adjacent Brasserie restaurant, and all with smiles and bonhomie. We felt, not like guests, but lords of the manor! A marvellous p, comfortable and most enjoyable visit.

Nice!!
Nice hotel in a quiet part of town. Close to walk to some places, but within just a short distance of a bus stop. The room was very clean with nice amenities. The bed and linens were very luxurious. Loved the large shower. Breakfast was reasonably priced and had a nice selection. Would stay here again.
