The staff was lovely and very helpful. We loved the room, it was spacious and beautiful. The only thing we would’ve enjoyed more is the light in the room, could’ve been a little stronger, it was very dim, but I know many people like it that way, especially in Europe.

Just a short walk 15 minute walk from Edinburgh Waverly train station made this a great place to visit. I enjoyed the excellent dinner and breakfast at their restaurant. The staff was great and helped me out with lunch suggestions and took care of receiving my luggage which was a couple of days late. I was on a bit more of a budget trip so stayed on the ground floor which was down from reception. This was a little bit out of the way but was really quiet. Very spacious room and comfortable.

As part of a members only club, the RSC keeps its facilities in tip-top shape. The amenities were very generous, including slippers and super soft robes. The housekeeper was vey kind to give us a fan as the room got warm with a south facing window. The breakfasts were very elegant, served on china. Highly recommend.

Very cozy feel to the room, clean, and private. Bed was comfortable. Phone kept pulsating light, which, even though reported to reception, continued throughout my stay. The creaking floors really gave me the feel for staying in old Edinburgh, in a pleasant way.
Beautiful private garden across the street from the hotel.
