    About This Property

    Welcome to The Scott, where history intertwines with luxury in the heart of Edinburgh's Southside. Named after Alexander Scott, the esteemed original owner of the magnificent baronial house erected in the 1750s, our hotel echoes history combined with the elegance of today. With no two rooms alike, you will discover 37 rooms that seamlessly blend modern amenities with the historic charm of the original building. Sink into Elite™ Lily mattresses draped with the finest linens, and pamper yourself in exquisitely designed en-suite bathrooms stocked with Laura Thomas spa products and plush amenities, including fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers. Additionally, enjoy a selection of award-winning Novus teas, and indulge in the convenience of an OPAL capsule coffee machine stocked with Coffee Conscience compostable coffee pods, ensuring a delightful start to your day. Guest are able to dine in style at Bonnar’s, where the legacy of Thomas Bonnar comes to life amidst floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking our private garden. Savour a culinary journey produced by our Head Chef, Pier Berretta, who is inspired by Scottish flavours that are impeccably presented in a setting that reflects the elegance of the 18th-century baronial house. After a day of exploration, unwind in the Velvet Lounge, where specialty Gins, Champagnes and Whiskies await. Let our curated wine list, selected by L’Art Du Vin, elevate your senses as you soak in the ambience of our meticulously restored lounge, brimming with original features and character. For those wanting to maintain their fitness, guests have access to two exceptional gym facilities located nearby. The [Pleasence Sports Complex Gym], boasts one of the country’s leading gym facilities with sports-specific areas as well as your traditional gym. Just 20-minute walk away, this serves as a refreshing warm-up en route. Additionally, [Oxygen Fitness Studios], just a 3-minute walk across the gardens, consists of two studios equipped with rowing machines, spin backs and free weights.

    Overall we had an excellent stay.
    Breakfast was good as was overall service. Honesty bar was good but better control of the bill for drinks could be improved.
    No Mirror in the bedroom caused my wife problems getting ready/using hair drier etc.

    Lovely hotel. Went for New Year. Staff went over and beyond for their customers. Enjoyed the breakfasts!
    The pictures on Booking appear like it's in a remote area. Unfortunately, it's in a student area so I feel slightly ripped off due to the marketing. The room I stayed in was much smaller than I anticipated, which was underwhelming. It was quite noisy in my room so I could hear staff walking. Value for money wasn't great but lesson learned and I'll be sure to check online maps before I book a place and spend a lot of money.

    Slightly disappointing
    I dont think the price matched the quality of my room to be honest. The room was small and I could songs of wear and tear. Also I could hear other guests which make it difficult to sleep.
    I could hear other guests Facilities not matching the price Breakfast was ok but not totally there Staff were really friendly

    Very nice rooms, spacious and great atmosphere. Nice lounge too
    Lovely staff very helpful and kind
    Just a bit far from the center by walk but very easy to go by bus Maybe a billiard baby-foot or a ping point table would be nice

    Overall a nice stay
    The building itself is beautiful with easy parking all over the university campus. Both rooms we had were very clean and comfortable. And I liked their toiletries brand very much! Walkable distance to city centre and cheap Uber rates as well.
    Breakfast room is small. We had to queue for half an hour to get in. It would be better that guests could reserve their breakfast time slots to avoid the waiting. We had breakfast there three mornings, two out of those three mornings they took my orders wrong.
