"Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property!"

"It’s centrally located so places are closeby. The staff are friendly. A minor issue was that the men’s toilets/bathrooms were in repairs on my floor so we were asked to use the facilities downstairs."

"The Scotsman was right across the street from the train station making it easy for two with women with a lot of luggage. The hotel was clean and the rooms were spacious. The food was delicious and was available until late morning. The staff was amazing, and the concierge even walked us to the train station to help us find the right train to our next destination."

"I was upgraded to a castle view room upon my arrival which was really nice. Reception staff were very friendly and allowed me an early check in as my room was ready. The beds were comfy and breakfast was very good. The only thing was that there was a bit of toothpaste not cleaned off the sink (it was behind the taps so I could see how it could be missed) and a shower cap was still hanging on the back of the bathroom door. "

"Excellent rooms. Great location if you’re okay with walking steps or roads uphill to close by Royal Mile. Lobby was under renovation which when completed should be great and easier for checkin and staff services. "

"Room was clean; food at breakfast was great. All the staff we encounter were very helpful and freindly "

"Great location and well run. "

"I find a vast difference in customer service when traveling to different countries and this hotel has exceptional customer service. The staff is always friendly and quick to meet whatever need that you have insofar as they are able to accommodate. The breakfast is delicious and service there is also amazing. I will be looking for Virgin properties to stay wherever we travel going forward. "

"Perfect location. The restaurant inside the hotel was very nice. The room was spacious. The front desk was very nice "
