Historic and authentic Scottish, charming place. But a bit concerning that you have to use a key to lock yourself in at night, which would be dicey if there was a fire and you had to struggle with finding and using the old skeleton key to get out. When you leave the hotel for the day, they want you to leave the key at the desk and retrieve it when you return. Also, our room was below ground level and smelled a little musty.

If you are into Scottish military history, this is the perfect hotel. I found it a bit stuffy and snooty. My room felt like it was in the bowels of the hotel and finding your way was a challenge - lots of levels, corridors and doors. On a positive note, hotel was clean and comfortable and they served a nice breakfast. I enjoyed reading in the lounge area. Great location on a beautiful street. Just wasn’t a good fit for me.

Grand, old world place to stay.

This Hotel co-exists as The Royal Scots Club, and was a fascinating place to stay. The standard double room we had had a large bed and bathroom, and was very spacious. It was on the basement floor, just below street level, where lot of the Club's facilities were. The dining room was elegant, and we had both dinner and breakfast there. Nice food and service. The reception staff were nice too. The Club is in a quieter atea of Edinburgh, but not too far from things to see.
