Disliked: Amenities
Rooms on the lower ground are very poor quality paid £400 per night. I know is the festival but the prices are far to high. Breakfast at the hotel is ok but nothing special. Paid £24 for breakfast for each day. Take note Breakfast in the hotel is £17.50 So Expedia that is quite an over priced on your website.

Good location for transit and walkable to main attractions in old town. Prices were increased due to Fringe Festival. Mattress and pillows were too firm. Our room was in lower level/annex building which was stuffy and lacked air conditioning.

The Royal Scots Club provides a lovely ambience, although we had large suitcases and would have appreciated a lift rather than having to haul our luggage up the stairs.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
An outstanding lodging property with the highest representation of Old-World tradition, Scottish charm and social grace. A rich, unique heritage and glowing patina envelopes this Georgian masterpiece. Close to everything. Dining at the club is an experience of delicious old-school cookery and hospitality. Immaculate, quiet elegance coupled with unmatched service - thank you Miss Georgia - make a stay at the RSC a superb choice when in Edinburgh.
