Superb stay
Hotel was chosen for closeness to Princes st and Xmas markets etc. What we found was a special place which was a club for ex military through the years and the history in there was so interesting ( now open to the general public) packed full of momentos about the queen visiting different regiments and areas of Scotland. It was kept spotless and lovely and warm. Breakfast was served from menu and piping hot with plenty of choice . Would thoroughly recommend

Comfortable stay
We had a very pleasant 7 day stay at the Royal Scots Club
Our room was in the annex which involved going down some quite steep steps but staff were very helpful with our cases. The room itself was warm, comfortable with plenty of storage and two armchairs. Tea and coffee facilities were topped up daily. The general lounge was a great place to relax after a busy day in Edinburgh. It’s also really close to a bus stop with regular buses to the city centre
The only criticism is the fact that the breakfast was always served too soon to the table and consequently was cold by the time we had finished our cereal

A real Scotland experience
Our room was wonderful—huge open space with big windows and very high ceilings. The bedding was very cozy, and staff were helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed the quiet and calm neighborhood in enchilada hotel was located. A couple of things could be improved: we would have appreciated better TV (more availability of channels). We also wished for a grab bar on the wall beside the tub. This old- fashion tubs with high sides are particularly dangerous for elderly people. Nevertheless we enthusiastically recommend the Royal Scots Club.
