Amazing!!! We came here for my husbands 30ty birthday and they had decorated the room for us and gave us prosecco 🥹🧡 The staff was amazing and so helpful! When they forgot to pick up our breakfast order, they were quick to take it back to the kitten has it delivered to our room! I can’t get over how welcoming the front desk clerks were. So friendly and great atmosphere! The location is great and easy to walk to every monument! I wish housekeeping was a little better, they made our beds and har us towels but don’t replace our teas, coffees. It felt they rushed to do there job.

Overall great experience. Lovely room, friendly staff & good location, would recommend.

The service far exceeded my expectations!! I originally booked the Indigo Edinburgh, but due to renovations, they didn't inform me beforehand. When I checked in, they switched me to one of their backup hotels, which was completely different in price and class! I was furious! The Indigo's service and management are terrible!! It happened to be a weekend in Edinburgh, and I almost couldn't book a hotel. I managed to find the Scotsman Hotel across the street, and checking into the room was a complete surprise! They had prepared welcome champagne, and the room's color scheme was very warm and conducive to sleep. Even though I was only staying one night, the front desk staff didn't treat me badly at all. They were very enthusiastic in introducing the hotel's services, and there was also a very stylish cocktail bar, although it closed a bit early; they stopped providing the drink menu at 11 pm.

We were placed on the second floor below ground level. There was no quiet, and the noise was constant. There was a storage room next door. The towels in the bathroom looked like they had just been folded and left there. I wanted to change rooms, but they said they only had one family room.

Very good location, near to everything

Stunning hotel and absolutely beautiful room. Delicious breakfast and fantastic service.

Call ahead to get some advice on the parking arrangements if you’re driving.

I’d highly recommend this hotel.

This is the second time we have stayed here amazing. Easy to access Main Street and transport. Bedrooms are beautiful and all the added extras too. Staff very friendly. Loved the breakfast. We will definitely be back.
02.06.2024 Martin
Great experience, the staff seem genuinely welcoming - real "people" who will effortlessly make you feel welcome. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful and the bar service excellent. The rooms are expensive but definitely worth it as it has a very non-corporate atmosphere. The hotel is located just off the Royal Mile and has an entrance almost opposite Waverly Station, just under the bridge. Overall very pleasant and highly recommended.

Amazing place! Located less than 1 minute from Edinburgh Waverley Station. Easy access to sites and restaurants.

The menu was extensive and delicious. Table servers were attentive but not hovering and very cheerful. I had the tutto mare and it was delicious! The Gunpowder gin cocktails I ordered were also above par. For dessert we ordered the gelato and it was equally fabulous. Great views also. Bar and entertainment district is also close-by.
21.11.2017 Steven
Great food and Atmosphere. Service was very slow, staff took a long time to take our orders but food and drinks arrived quickly when they had been taken. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time either.
A drink order was forgotten about by the waitress and a member of our group had to approach the waitress again to order. We also had a long wait for the card machine when paying our bill.
Would recommend the food and cocktails if you don't mind potentially waiting.
05.11.2017 Terence
Booked last minute last night. Was greeted warmly and placed at the table quickly. Food order was taken but unfortunately had to wait 45 mins for our food to arrive. The manager was very apologetic and said that we did not have to pay for any of the food or drinks. This was a lovely gesture. Excellent customer service with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend visiting.

One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. Great food and service. A little on the expensive side but it's definitely worth coming to once in a while for a good meal with friends. This is also where I get my favourite lemon sorbet dessert!
13.09.2017 Natalia
Very happy with this place as they have a separate menu for dietary requirements. I am lactose intolerant and they provide a milk free cheese for pizza which I can rarely have as not many places have it. Service was good and lovely location looking out over Edinburgh

Nice and clean, good layout inside. Big letdown is the lack of a ramp for access. I know there are other Costa stores within the Waverley Mall but the street level one has lots of steps. I'm sure there used to be a ramp access but not anymore.

Nice coffee and quick bites.situated on the top floor of Waverley mall.

Quick service even though place was packed. Great location for Waverley train station

Lovely food, great atmosphere, sweet and sour chicken was delicious and good portion sizes for the price, had to wait a little while to order but it was very busy and we got time to practice to chopsticks. Very happy and full :)
04.01.2018 Szandra
Hot and sour soup was smelly, staff was not very kind nor attentive, and the food was waaay too overpriced. Had much better takeaway food for half the price. Go somewhere else in the area...
29.12.2017 Anastasia
Disgustingly dirty which makes me doubt the hygiene of the kitchen. Needs a good deep cleaning or two. Waiters hardly speak english, are not helpful and that was established on at least 3 visits. Saving grace is the food which is delicious. Please train your staff and clean the hall!!!
23.12.2017 Julia
Hmmmm! Very disappointing. Starter to share £7.80 each!! Minimum of two - consisted of per person 1 pork rib, 1 prawn toast, 1 spring roll, & 1 dim sum, oh & not forgetting the "crispy seaweed" . Not worth the price per head. Main course noodles were not cooked & very bland albeit with a taste a celery. Waiters didn't even ask if everything ok. As for the "owner", she was asleep behind the bar! Classy!!
21.12.2017 Lindz
One of the best for Dim Sum in Edinburgh. All the classics are there. I tried the lunch buffet one time out of curiosity, and it's good, but it's nothing compared to the dim sum entrees or the made to order a la carte dishes. Two can eat and be plenty satisfied for 25-35.
