Pros: I told them I am severely asthmatic. When I walked into the room I immediately smelled musty old rug that was cleaned at least dozens of times and exhausted its useful life a long time ago. I went back to the front desk and told them needed a different room for medical reasons and willing to pay more. The front desk person and the day manager told me that they did not have availability without any serious they said no without any consideration and force me to sleep in this room where I ended up wheezing all night. They also lied to me that all the rooms were renovated at the same time and were the same. And it turns out that there were at least a few rooms available.

Pros: Location is brilliant - Princes St and the Royal Mile are only a short walk away, making it ideal for shopping, seeing the sights and walking to restaurants. Hotel was comfortable.
Cons: Only one lift provides access on the reception level - the other lift requires you to carry your suitcase down a series of steps which was inconvenient. Choice of food at breakfast was a bit limited but it was still reasonable as hotel breakfasts go.

Pros: Wonderful staff, really nice room. Very central location. Great experience
Cons: The drinks in the bar could have been stronger, but I'm clutching at straws, everything was very nice.

Pros: Location and good communal area

Pros: Location, price and affordability, cool design, friendly staff, open lounge/bar/restaurant with good hours. Quiet rooms!
Cons: AWFUL WiFi- we resorted to paying roaming charges on our mobile phone b/c we needed to get online. No phone in room to call to lobby? Very little lounging furniture-even an extra armchair or loveseat would be nice. Name 'Motel One' cud be better:)

Cons: A que often formed for breakfast, possibly due to a tour staying at the hotel. However we were not acknowledged as we waited, nor any apology offered by the wait staff for this occurring. Filming of a movie directly outside the hotel was an inconvenience when entering or leaving, perhaps we should have been informed of this road closure when booking.

Pros: Great location and also had car parking
Cons: Stayed two nights, room was not made up on 2nd day, had to ask for clean towels. Only one coffee satchet per person, so no coffee on day 2 either
6.5 Good
Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.
Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite.
2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand.
3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made.
Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).
6.3 Good
Pros: Bedding was nice and large superking bed
Cons: Didn’t think it was value for money at all over priced travel lodge
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Location was fantastic, right on the Royal mile, plenty of food and drink options within minutes of the hotel. Fantastic facilities at the hotel like the gym and pool, nice large lobby too. Restaurant and Bar were great, plenty of options for breakfast too!
Cons: I honestly can't think of anything that would have made the stay better, I think the only thing was that one of the USB sockets for phone charging wasn't working, but there was 2 others in the room anyway so it wasn't a problem!
9.2 Excellent
Pros: The location is great for tourism. Everything you would want to see (except country side) is within walking distance. Staff is courteous and helpful.
Cons: The breakfast spread needs improvement. The breakfast area is also small and it takes time to have something as you have to make orders for even simple things such as boiled eggs etc. Here I see a room for improvement. Cost on a bit higher side. So, overall it has to balance a bit to make it truly value for money hotel.

I highly recommend it and will return there when in Edinburgh. A gentleman named " Willy" was a gem, very helpful. Thank You.

Cons: Once you get past reception (and the key public areas) the property feels a little tired. One of the lifts was always out of action. The room was nice (I had booked a superior) but the bathroom was very small and tired with marks on the walls and the extractor fan was full of dust. I think for such a central location (and price) I would be getting something a little more luxurious for my money. I had booked this as a treat for my mum’s 70th birthday and was a little disappointed.

Pros: From the minute I walked into the hotel I felt very welcomed. The staff were attentive and perfectly freindly and professional. I travel alot internationally and truthfully feel that this was one of the best hotel experiences I've had in my life. Being that I do travel alot, it means the world when you can sleep peacefully in extreme comfort. From arrival to departure the George was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it and will return there when in Edinburgh. A gentleman named " Willy" was a gem, very helpful. Thank You.

Cons: No A/c. We were told that they don’t advertise air conditioning. None of the three superior rooms forced on to us, didn’t have it either. Glad that an en-suite bathroom was there. Plus the bed was remarkably small. A movement here and there and one would be on the floor.

A stay at The Scotsman Hotel places you in the heart of Edinburgh, steps from Princes Street and Royal Mile. Featured amenities include express check-in, dry cleaning/laundry services, and a 24-hour front desk. This hotel has 8 meeting rooms available for events.
The Grassmarket is the hub of Edinburgh’s Old Town and that’s where you’ll find the Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel, looking up to Castle Rock and Edinburgh Castle, the backdrop of the Military Tattoo. You can walk anywhere in the city centre from here and it’s exceptionally convenient for the transport links at Waverley Train Station, buses around the city and Old Town attractions. The high street shops of Princes Street and George Street are just a short walk away and you’ll be just a 10 minute walk from The King’s Theatre or The Festival Theatre.
The friendly smile that welcomes you at check-in will become a regular feature during your stay. There’s always someone on hand to help make your stay unique and memorable. From the local advice that’ll help you plan your day to a relaxing dinner or drinks served in Agua Restaurant & Bar, you’ll be well looked after from start to finish.

You'll love the castle views from the hotel and the fact that within a few minutes you can be on the Royal Mile, or exploring the National Museum of Scotland or even sipping a coffee at The Elephant House - the café where J K Rowling began writing some of her early Harry Potter work.

The heating came on at 6am and was very noisy. This woke my partner and I up and we couldn't get back to sleep with the noise.
The tea/coffee machine in the room did not work.
Left my straighteners behind in the room but when I contacted the hotel to enquire about this they said they checked and they were not there. That is a mystery to me.

Pros: Pet friendly
Cons: The room we were allocated with a baby and dog despite special request was not at all appropriate or what we'd requested. We agreed to move to special assistance room, the only other available room despite checking in at 3pm which was larger but still open plan which meant my partner and I had to sit in the dark once the baby slept. Again not what we'd booked or requested. We were told we would be moved to one bedroom apartment the next night. Hotels like this seriously underestimate the rigmoural of having to pack up after a nights stay when travelling with a baby. We wasted probably 3 hrs of our short stay in Edinburgh due to not being allocated appropriate room in the first place. The room 209 we were then moved to was noisy and cold. The room also needed TLC - shower screen didn't hang over the bath properly, kitchen cupboards were loose. Both the bedroom room and living room windows were next to "the new steps" - busy thorough through from Edinburgh train station to old Edinburgh and royal mile with people coming and going throughout the early hours. Our baby woke several times in the night as a result. We then had a wake up call at 7am which we hadn't ordered! We were warned filming outside meant breakfast would be plated in the fridge in rooms. Probably the least appetising breakfast I've woken up to in a while. No butter, jams or spread provided or any fresh tea coffee being offered in the main lobby by the hotel. Whilst we were provided a cot, highchair as requested and the accomodation was dog friendly (we brought our 4 year old cockapoo with us) I was extremely upset with the whole experience. Establishments purporting to operate at a 4* level should be doing a lot better than this. It's the worst place I've stayed in with my young family and did not meet expectations whatsoever.

Pros: Pleasant and helpful staff .
Cons: The premises were disappointingly run down. I stayed there on my honeymoon 3 years ago and came back because I loved it then . It has deteriorated since then . My bathroom basin drain was totally blocked . Cleared it my self in frustration by removing the drain pipes. Was frustrated that when booking a few days before, we were not warned that there was a movie being filmed and access to the premises might be difficult . After traveling nonstop go 30 hrs from New Zealand, it took just over an he to get through the cordon and into the premises. No compensation was offered .

Cons: The hotel put a hold on my credit card for one night's stay. Despite the fact that I paid for my two nights with the same card, their hold on my card has persisted for one week beyond my stay. I talked to hotel and they said it would be removed in 2-3 days and that has not happened. As you can imagine, on vacation one likes things to be properly taken care of and money available. This is unacceptable.

Pros: Absolutely brilliant property and signature Hilton service. Perfect location right at the Royal Mile
Cons: Two things 1. The parking is actually in Edinburgh Waverley Train Station which is a bit of a walk if you have heavy luggage. This should have been clearly mentioned. Also, the hotel validation of the overnight parking took off just 3 GBP of the total parking fee. Could have been better. 2. The lounge staff weren’t exactly cheerful around 10:30 PM. I can understand it’s late but it costs nothing to wear a smile while handing over the drink the customer paid for. A bit weird point since the reception and restaurant staff were amazing, as I would expect from Hilton.

7.5 Good
Pros: The bed was very comfy
Cons: For the money we paid to stay here I expected a bit more, it was basic nothing special about the room, we have stayed in a premier in and the room we stayed in was just like one of theirs, the shower had lots of mould all around the bottom where it’s sealed and all up the wall, and at least two of the floor tiles where loose they moved when you stood on them and you could see one of them was lifted before you even stood on it, definitely needs fixing. It’s a good idea to bring all your own body wash and things like that you get tiny bottles of shampoo etc and it really is only enough for two showers, no slippers or dressing gowns, you should have slippers at least as the bathroom is tiled and cold on your feet

5.8 Okay
Pros: Location
Cons: No Aircon. Hot. No ventilation . No windows that can open more than 10 centimeters. Bathroom too small.
5.4 Okay
Pros: The location was excellent and the room ‘looked’ wonderful in a new building. Great breakfast.
Cons: The room was very cold (heater not turned on and no instructions as to how to operate it). No extra blankets were provided so we has a sleepless cold night. The phone to contact the staff in the middle of the night was not functioning either. The safe for the storage of valuables did not have any locking mechanisms. Very disappointing due to the above concerns. Definitely not value for money.

Pros: the location was great, handy walking distance from the hotel to the castle and town centre, secure car park next door, also a Sainsbury and coffee shops less than a minute from the hotel.
Cons: Lukewarm food, eating breakfast in reception area as there is no restaurant. The bed linen was marked, the sofa has stains on it, there is only cream in the rooms no milk and tea don't taste right with cream. Not sure if the car park was discounted, they stamped the ticket but still cost £36 for 2 days.

3.8 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: After checked in, then told we couldn't have the superior room we had booked and paid for 6 months ago, they had given it to someone else!. Said we would get £20 a night refunded. Shower was mouldy inside and filthy outside. Room not made up in between nights. Minimal breakfast tables shoe horned into reception. Very strange. Told if no spare table, could take tray to room, but no facility in room for 2 people to sit and eat breakfast. On checkout, said refund was £20 only total, I had to insist on £40
6.3 Good
Pros: It was clean
Cons: Room very sparse. No information in room about anything !! Safe had no mechanism. No tissues in bathroom. Shower water pressure non existent. Room rate very high for what was supplied.

Pros: We stayed for a week during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The location of the hotel was perfect, near most of the venues but still distant enough to be quiet and allow us to relax. The room was comfortable and very clean, as was the bathroom, although the toiletries were minimum.
Cons: Breakfast was a strange thing. Some of the staff were nice, some looked like they were fed up with the guests (which they probably were). The worst thing was that from 10-15 min before breakfast was over they wouldn't restock anything. So you could come for breakfast at 10.20 and not find any more fruit salad, bread, or fried eggs. Every morning there was a surplus of raisin rolls but never enough croissants - if people eat more croissants, why not offer 2 baskets of croissants and only one of raisin rolls, instead of consistently doing the opposite?

Cons: My singular unfortunate experience was that I asked a front desk employee (very friendly gent) to help call a hire car to get our multiple suitcases to the airport tram... We waited outside for 40 minutes and I finally ended up contacting an Uber. I wish this wonderful guy (who I'm sure had a busy front desk that morning) would have followed through making sure we were able to get to the airport on time. A confluence of events, and I'm sure a rare event.

Cons: Mattress was soft and showing some age.
Some street noise--a tradeoff for the view, and not intrusive with the window and curtains closed after 10 pm.
3.8 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: The older man at the front desk , with black hair larger statue was rude. We tried to ask him several questions because his information wasn’t clear... he talk down and at us. When you open the door to the room it smelled moldy and dirty, most likely from the carpet being so old, who knows. The bed extremely sunk in throughout the entire middle section , and the pillows were flat & hard, not to mention the decorative pillow was flat like a pancake! Went to find an ice machine and was told to go to the bar when we did the gentleman behind the bar was hesitant to give us 2 cups of ice. The chair in the room must have been from the 60s which is not a problem but it was a toddler size chair. All in all it wouldn’t hurt to get a new mattress, fluffy pillows change them out at least , when asking for ice just give it to us we’re not hurting anything, replace the chair for an adult size and for God sakes redo the nasty infested 20 plus year old carpet! This company makes enough money to put back in for the well being of the clients.

Cons: Reception staff wasn't welcoming. Need to welcome no matter colour, class or creed. The young girl who cleaned our room 404 should be put on reception just from her greeting alone. Room 404 should be stripped out and used as a utility cupboard. Very dark. 1 small window with big cables tied off behind the curtains. I guess because the window faced horrible walls very unpleasant view they didn't expect anyone to see the horrid cables. Seriously!!

Cons: Room we had for first three nights had a great view and was comfortable, it had a large window overlooking Princes park and the old city. Unfortunately on our return from our tour of Scotland we had chosen an internal room. Ok for one night but it was very hot and stuffy with a tiny window between buildings at the back of the hotel. The hotel is in an excellent location. I would highly recommend for touring the city. Book an outside room.

There is a luggage room but if you are in the last floor it's not comfortable going to the first floor to leave the bag there, and in the bedroom the lockets can't be closed with a padlocker. But I left my bag in the bedroom as everybody and obviously it's safe.
7.5 Good
Pros: The accommodation was okay, the breakfast was okay but the space wasn't so great for a restaurant
Cons: the diner
7.5 Good
Pros: Good location
Cons: Breakfast
7.9 Good
Pros: The location was great, it was directly across from the train station.
Cons: I wish they had told me in advance that if my third party did not arrive that evening that they would rebook the bed for the same night. I returned to my room to find someone else's belonging in the third bed without my knowledge and became concerned for my safety because it was a mixed dorm.
4.6 Okay
Pros: Location, nothing else
Cons: The bedsheets are not clean. There are insect poops in the bed. The £4 breakfast is not worth it, there are much better proper breakfast in the area like £5 which is way better than the breakfast in the property.
7.5 Good
Pros: The location was great and very central.
Cons: Check-in was super noisy due to the bar downstairs. Staff was nice but not exactly friendly.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: The location was great.
Cons: At night there was not enough light in the room. The bulp was very weak.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Excellent location close to train station and town attractions, friendly and helpful staff, great pub/dining in house. Each bed had curtains which were fantastic! Communal showers and toilets available if ensuite bathroom got busy during mornings etc.
Cons: Not much floor space for luggage etc. in 6 bed dorm. Locker facilities good in the room were good, but need a storage shelf or cube close to each bed for everyday items.

Pros: The view of Edinburgh can not be beat, the breakfast buffet was great.
Cons: You can hear people in the next room and also the outside noise came through at night. Not a problem until you were trying to sleep..
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Clean, great location
Cons: Bathroom seemed like it was for handicapped people
5.0 Okay
Pros: The lady at check in was nice.
Cons: The bathroom was hideous. It looked like a 50 year old Holiday Inn. I took pictures and shared with desk clerk and then evening manager. Hotel was full and could not move me. Told me to come back and talk to a supervisor in the morning. Already spoke to the clerk and then the night manager. How many times do I have to tell the same story to get something done? He should have taken the initiative rather than put it back on me. I had a full schedule and didn’t feel like they were interested.
6.3 Good
Pros: The location and the bed.
Cons: I didn't like the bathroom because it was very old and didn't look clean. It was very inconvenient to have two taps for hot and cold water separately which is very old fashioned. One waitress at the breakfast was very unfriendly and the food was very limited variety. Back to the room, the safe didn't open and the telephone kept ringing even after I hang up.
4.6 Okay
Pros:
Cons: TV didn’t work at all - they asked if we called reception for someone to come fix it but it was 10:30/11 before we realised. It’s a pretty basic thing to have in a room so it should flipping work or be quickly tested at room changeover. I at least expected the receptionist (the checking out receptionist - different to the one who tried to help with the WiFi - to seem to give 2 hoots but nope, she wasn’t bothered at all. Also WiFi was awful. Didn’t work, the receptionist tried to get another strain of the WiFi to work but it was just as rubbish. At least that first receptionist tried to do something. Chair had barely any leather left. Room felt really dated.
7.9 Good

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Was not given the room I reserved. I was given a classic room which would have been cheaper but I was charged for a superior room
