We enjoyed a good stay in December! The bed is very comfortable. Spacious room and bathroom. The toiletries are nice! Walk to city centre within 30 min or take the bus just off the road.

The hotel was pleasant with nice, friendly staff. The restaurant was outstanding. We had a wonderful waiter who made our night. The single room was functional but quite compact. The lighting was dreadful in both the main and bathroom areas. Simply not enough lights in the room. The bed was comfortable and the housekeeping was very good.

Lovely location with on-site parking and within walking distance of the city. All staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to fulfill a couple of special requests. Room was quiet and comfortable and meals were tasty.

The Scholar is utterly fantastic. Location, staff, restaurant, the rooms, everything. I had lived in Pollock Halls as a youth, and so didn't really expect that a luxury hotel could be created in one of those "Houses". But U of E has succeeded in doing so. Special praise for the front desk staff (who patiently extricated me from a booking error of my own making) and the restaurant (I can't say enough great things about the breakfast, for which I quite uncharacteristically woke up at 700am each day). Superb. It appears I have a lot of Edinburgh in my future, and this is where I want to stay on returning to the city.

Fabulous location right next to Arthur's Seat. Everywhere in Edinburgh is easily accessible from here (walking or public transport). Good sized rooms with a workspace if needed, super friendly staff and a good choice at breakfast

The Scholar turned out to be a great hotel, but we, like many others were surprised to find we weren't booked in the same building as shown on the website! The Scholar is a more modern building, not the Scott building shown on the site. …
