Wonderful Room… just too warm
Everything was good except the room was very warm. We turned the radiators off, but it stayed rather warm. The window would not stay open to cool it down. Thankfully there was a fan. If there had not been a fan we would not have been able to sleep. The bathroom stayed blazing. The hallways leading to the rooms were extremely warm as well. Other than that the room was wonderful, service was great.

Fantastic stay
We were given a free upgrade and the room was absolutely lovely. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and the hotel itself is both beautiful and has an interesting history. Very close to the city centre and so perfect for sight seeing

A nice weekend away
A couple of nights to Edinburgh. The reception staff went above and beyond to help. The breakfast was substantial but nay Haggis. The bar prices very reasonable and the staff very friendly.
My only comment is the lack of accessible 14a Sockets in Room 21. Only two double sockets with USB ports , one behind the kettle and the other at floor level slightly obscured by the desk.

Superb stay
Hotel was chosen for closeness to Princes st and Xmas markets etc. What we found was a special place which was a club for ex military through the years and the history in there was so interesting ( now open to the general public) packed full of momentos about the queen visiting different regiments and areas of Scotland. It was kept spotless and lovely and warm. Breakfast was served from menu and piping hot with plenty of choice . Would thoroughly recommend

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Scots. Our room had a great view over the park and the staff was very welcoming.
Our room was very clean and I loved the decor.
The location was great as it was just a couple blocks from the restaurants and shops but nice and quiet in the evening. Parking was the only hiccup but that was the fault of the parking meter and not the hotel. Ended up parking at OMNi which was just a couple minute walk.
Would definitely stay again!!
