Amazing, after a week of travel in Ireland and a 5am flight this was the best hotel ever. It was slow to check in but they stored our luggage so we could go explore the town. Easy to find, great location, clean, comfy bed. If you want views this might not be what you want (I did have a view of the castle through a tiny window but my mom didnt have a window in her room) but if you want a clean and super safe place to rest this is it. Their breakfast was just enough to get us started for the day. Will 100% stay here again when I return. The tiny room was just fine for me.
Lovely venue, perfect location and the staff are amazing given the challenging times we are in
Like most buildings in this area of Edinburgh—it is old, it comes with its inherent charm and issues. The lobby is small, and the entry to the elivators is not very welcoming. The restaurant and bar areas are also a bit confusing to navigate, but they are spacious and fantastic! The location couldn't have been better.
Rooms could have been a bit more specious. No complain about the bathroom.
Its comfortable and very central is very useful. Could hear through the walls a little during the night
We had a wonderful romantic lunch at The Witchery before leaving Edinburgh. It’s a very intimate space with dark lighting even in the day. The staff were super attentive and the food was amazing. We’d definitely go for a nice dinner next time we’re in the city. Dress was casual during the day but we felt a little underdressed in just a button down and jeans all the same. The space is fancy and you’ll want to be too.
Fabulous stay at frazer suites, beds were amazing, clean and comfortable suite. Excellent location right next to the royal mile. The staff ,especially Marianna, went out of her way to accommodate us. Will definitely come back. Reasonable prices also. We had dinner in hotel restaurant, nice quality and good service.
Stayed for a bonus break and have only good things to say about the hotel, the restaurant and the staff.
Friendly and welcoming staff.
Room was perfect; large, comfortable, great shower, amazing toiletries, really comfortable bed and really nicely decorated. :)
The views from the balcony fabulous. The food, the drinks were all good
Staff were relaxed, knowledgeable Always nice when someone makes the time to have a little chat and shares a bit about themselves. Makes the visit feel more personal.
Thank you to everyone. Would love to return.
Amazing staff that couldn't do enough for you! Friendly too! They went above and beyond to help me with my daughter's wedding, where we both stayed. I really think this hotel should be treated a lot higher. The rooms were exceptionally cleaned and the views were lovely. I also stopped in a local top hotel but ironically preferred Motel One! Thank you all for a wonderful stay and for all your help!
Friendly service great staff, excellent rooms and a great location.
Won of the best places I've stayed in. Rooms are one of a kind. And the price is very good. I would come here again... a 5 star for me
The Cheval Edinburgh Grand is right up there in my holiday experiences. We came away for an impromptu school holiday getaway complete with both kids and the dog.
The kids had a room to themselves with and the rooms we had came with en-suites so that once the kids were in bed, the grownups could enjoy a bottle of wine and a quite conversation without fear of waking the kids.
The hotel bang in the centre of town situated at St Andrews Square. It is dog friendly and there was even a dog bed and bowls waiting for us in our room. The rooms are absolutely fantastic, well designed , well appointed and stocked with pretty much everything you might want.
The service is second to none. Ben Currie deserves a special mention as does Tiziana for making our stay extra special.
Great place in an amazing town! Parking is limited but we parked at the train station which is across the road for a reasonable price. Staff were lovely and friendly, all meals were fabulous! Could not recommend enough!
This is an old building re-design in a funky modern style. Once we entered the lobby, we fall in love with this hotel.
Our family group of four, had a big room with four single beds. Plenty of room for our four big suitcases. The room was extremely clean. The bed was super comfy.
We loved the dandy comic wallpaper and a giant street map of the local area on the another side of the wall in our room too.
The location is unbeatable, so many eateries and local shops nearby.
We had a breakfast in the bar next door. It was fantastic.
Definitely will stay again when we’re going back to Edinburgh.
Note:
1. They provide tunnock tea cakes in our room everyday. Thank you for that
2. Takes around 15 - 20 minutes by walking or £ 4.00 by taxi/uber from Edinburgh Waverly Station to this hotel.
3. Wear comfy shoes since the road is hilly.
Perfect location in the old town, easy to be reached by tram or bus directly from the airport, near the shopping area, good service and cosy bar.
Super cute Victorian decorated room, with an awesome location in the heart of New Town and the ton of cool restaurants, bars, and shopping. Walking distance to all tourist areas of Edinburgh. We had a nice view from a high floor. Self-check in was easy and straightforward. The only criticism is no shampoo, conditioner, or body soap and only 2 small towels were included.
A beautiful hotel located in the heart of the city. EVERYTHING is within walking distance. Princess Street to The Royal Mile, The Witchery by the Castle (restaurant), bars, bars and more bars! The perfect "home base" to explore and the concierge desk will help make arrangements for just about anything. Go, enjoy, explore then relax!
We were lucky enough to have our 'wee wedding' at the Scotsman Hotel - and they truly were instrumental in making it just the perfect day for us. We were treated like royalty from the moment we walked through the door. Every element of our stay was perfect, with the Scotsman team going above and beyond at every turn. The service, amenities, rooms, luxury feel, and location were five star. From the warm welcomes, attention to detail, infinite patience, and consummate professionalism, it was a superb experience. Perfect stay to celebrate a very special occasion.
The rooms really have everything you need, the interior design is beautiful and the location is excellent. Only minus is that there seems to be no radiators in the room and it can get a bit chilly during the winter season. But apart from that I would highly recommend this hotel.
