The Scotsman Hotel

Here's a tip about room and bed types - they call things differently in some countries. I learned this, and now I will ALWAYS check with the hotel directly. Even if you've booked through Booking.com, it makes sense to check directly with the hotel independently. And be specific about what you require. They may not understand that you're expecting a certain type of bed arrangement, even if it is listed as your preference - the words have different meanings. And you shouldn't have to pay an extra amount for a different type of bed. All it requires is a little direct communication to understand fully. I'm not faulting Booking.com on this, but I am hopeful that descriptions could be amended to reflect the reality of a situation.

We had an amazing stay celebrating our babymoon! On arrival we were told we were upgraded and when we opened the door to the room we were blown away. The standard of the interior and decor was brilliant and we had a coffee machine and two TVs! We had a lovely congratulations message with macaroons. We drove and the hotel offers 20% off parking which made the cost very reasonable. Nothing was too much to ask. This hotel we will be coming back to and will be telling all my friends and family about. If you are in doubt you should book this place!!!

The location is great, especially the elevator up from the train station exit. Staff were very friendly, and I appreciated the water and whisky left in the room. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Room service breakfast was prompt. Oh, and highly recommend checking out what movies are being shown at the cinema at the hotel - what a treat!

Staff were wonderful. The room was very quiet. Food was excellent. I thought the grand cafe was very well priced. I also really enjoyed the staff being able to show their own style and flair with the uniforms and hair and nail polish. So fabulous to find a high end hotel that doesn't make it's staff look stuffy and hold them to old fashioned standards. Breath of fresh air

Hotel was lovely beautifully decorated and luxurious. It couldn't have been situated any better turn right you are in the old town and turn left you are in the new town. Our room was spacious and comfortable couldn't fault it.Staff were lovely and friendly they were an asset. It's such a grand building it really is lovely 😊
