The Scholar

Beautiful hotel spacious rooms great reception great breakfast. The only problem is you would need about 30 minutes to the city center or take a bus that comes frequently. If you don’t mind a little bit of walking or taking public transit, you can’t beat this deal.

It’s a very beautiful experience in the scholar, located in the university of Edinburgh. The room is clean and quiet. The view behind the hotel is so peaceful and it’s very convenient for visitors to go on a hiking.

The Scholar is about 30mins walk from the Royal Mile There are local buses close by, that run to and from Central Edinburgh. The hotel has a good restaurant (I used it for breakfast and dinner). The staff are all friendly and incredibly helpful. The double room was well proportioned and serviced daily

Stayed 2 nights at The Scholar and appreciated its location for access to the city (The Royal Mile) and to walk up Arthur’s Seat (note we are walkers).  Room was spacious and although it did not have a fridge the front desk sorted this out for us (at no extra charge).  The hotel has a lovely area outside to sit and have breakfast, coffee or evening drinks. We were given complementary access to a gym closer to the city but there is also a basic one on the grounds.  There is also parking on-site.  Staff were really friendly and helpful - thank you for an enjoyable stay! 

The hotel is in a quiet and ideal location! Only 15 mins to the main city centre by bus, with bus stop being opposite the hotel. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, and made the stay comfortable. Unfortunately the hotel was under doing a renovation during the visit which meant some rooms and the hallway walls weren’t clean but I’m sure once the renovation gets done a it will a a clean hotel. Safe area away from the busy city centre. Recommend for solo and couple stays.

Love the breakfast! The staff are really friendly and the hotel has a very cute quaint vibe even though it’s very modern and reasonably plush.

Great location, nice apartment with good quality toiletries and mattress. The onsite parking is a plus. Walking distance to city centre. And the Abacus restaurant is a must try.

Clean, reasonable price, easy access to the city centre

Place was really nice and super close to Arthur's seat. It is also right on the edge of the city centre with a bus stop right outside so it doesnt take too long to travel in. My only problem was with the room cleaning. One of our blanket covers had a huge lipstick stain on it and despite asking that the room be cleaned, it was not cleaned. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay. The staff was lovely!
