Very cozy stay at the castle ! Nice that it was a bit further away from all the hassle. Good breakfast and very lovely staff. Bed was really good to sleep in. And loved that there was this Holyrood park close by where you could hike to see the whole city of Edinburgh! Only minus that of course because it is an old building it was quite cold inside the room but plus is I slept very well because of that :) highly recommend staying at this beautiful castle!

The Scott is a beautiful hotel with an exceptional staff. My daughter and I stayed in the hotel for a week, and we loved every minute of it. From the warm and welcoming staff to the gorgeous accommodations, the hotel is truly exceptional in every way. The breakfast is phenomenal too. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.
