Sehr schönes Hotel zentral gelegen
Pros:

Vielen Dank das wir noch ein Zimmer bekommen haben! Nachdem uns das 5 Sterne Abbey Strand Apartment in Edinburgh trotz Buchungsbestätigung vor verschlossener Tür stehen lassen hat, konnten wir am Abend noch spontan in den Royal Scots Club einchecken.

Das Hotel ist super schön und urig eingerichtet. Selbst von außen sieht es wunderschön aus und passt perfekt zum Ambiente der Straße. Man gibt an der Rezeption die Schlüssel ab wenn man in die Stadt gehen möchte, was ich sehr entspannt fande. Die Rezeption ist 24 Stunden besetzt.

Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und man hat alles was man benötigt. Vom Hotel aus kann man zu Fuß direkt los in die belebte Gegenden laufen.

We would definitely stay again
Pros:

The room was very comfortable. Our room was in The Annex which was not in the main building but just a tiny walk away. Really nice room, comfortable bed, coffee, tea, biscuits, and robes. The breakfast was excellent and hearty. Super location, a nice walk to the Royal Mile and close to Waverley Station.

Cons:

There was nothing.
