We loved our stay at the Royal Scotsman. Our room was large, clean, and quiet. Breakfast was excellent and the staff was very helpful. The location is also great, walking distance to great pubs and eateries, and to Old Town (10 minute walk). We will definitely stay there again when returning to Edinburgh

Definitely in a quieter area of Edinburgh. Only a couple of blocks from st Andrew’s square. Definitely still walking distance to Waverly station. Staff were helpful. Room was very warm at night they provide a fan which was helpful. Bar area and lounge nice to sit in the evening and have a beverage. Breakfast was good.

We had a wonderful stay. We didn't expect a huge room, given that it was in Edinburgh, so we thought it was a great space considering. Was very clean and quiet. The front desk host was very helpful, and we appreciated being able to leave our bags on the day of checkout as we explored the city. It's hard to find a family space for 4, so this worked great. Great location, great place, wished we had stayed longer.
