This is one of my favorite hotels. Such character and purpose!
PHILIP B, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Tara, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Bruce Martin, 4-night trip
