The Scotsman Hotel

Confusing hotel to navigate but rooms are very comfortable spacious with good beds and air con.Even have hair straighteners in the room!

A lovely Monday night treat at the Scotsman. Being Scottish, I’ve always wanted to stay in this iconic building and it did not disappoint. Friendly reception staff and all staff we met were pleasant and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and beautifully appointed. We did not get a view but overlooked one of the amazing lanes that intertwine the city. We booked into the new picture house and had a lovely 2 course dinner before heading down the stairs to watch Downton abbey in the beautiful cinema. Sat in the front row and put our feet up. Bar was open throughout for refreshments. We did not have breakfast but had a wonderful peaceful sleep. Thank you for an amazing night away.

The good: Excellent Location, Beautiful Hotel, Comfortable bed, Large Room The not so good: WiFi was down for over a day, robes not in room - received after 2 requests, hotel undergoing construction but no notice on website of construction The bad: 1) The deadlock on the room door was offset and therefore did not engage. We weren't comfortable not being able to lock the room while in it. The gentleman from reception did not see this as an issue. 2) I called reception before 10:30pm to order from the 24 hour room service menu. I was told the kitchen was closed and was offered information for local places that might still be open. On check out the next day I mentioned this to reception who claimed that the kitchen was not closed and a limited menu was available. Why was I told otherwise the night prior? 3) The room got chilly in the evening and the air conditioning/heating in the room did not work.

Great location, unique rooms. Staff were very accommodating.

Great location, fun and funky old building with all the amenities, would stay here again.
