This is a very cute hotel in an historic building . Lovely room with a turret, fabulous restaurant in beautiful surrounds on the grounds of university halls of residence. Walkable to superb views from Arthur’s Seat and the city centre but away from tourist hordes. Highly recommend

The Scott is a beautiful property, and the staff is incredible! Everyone we talked to was friendly, knowledgable, and willing to do whatever they could to help. We stayed here one night to end our trip in Scotland on a high note, and it did not disappoint. The breakfast was delicious, and they were able to substitute gluten free toast for some of their dishes when we asked. Would definitely stay again if we come back to Edinburgh!
