Kudos to the stellar customer service here! Booked through a 3rd party, who switched our room without a heads-up. But the team at The Scholar set us up in this fantastic gatehouse at The Scott. The gatehouse is a gem, beautifully designed with luxurious amenities. Highly recommend booking at The Scott—make sure to experience the gatehouse, it's a splurge that's totally worth it. Big thanks for making our vacation awesome. Special shoutout to the wonderful Mr. Greg, who was not just lovely but also super understanding. Also breakfast was amazing!

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.

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.
