Excellent except fotpr the restaurant. Breakfast great. dinner not enough vegetables
From check-in to check out and all in between, my stay at the scholar was just so comfortable. I felt at ease in my room in the lobby in the restaurant. The staff was always courteous and helpful and friendly. Food was very good; coffee was fabulous. I’m really enjoyed the little lounge, as well as the seats outside. I will absolutely return and recommend to others.
We had a pleasant stay and would stay again! The staff was very kind to us and helped us with our checkout / complimentary breakfast, in record time, in order to make our flight!

Rooms very comfortable and thoughtful provision of nice toiletries and drinks
Just on the outskirts of busy Edinburgh. There’s a bus right across from the hotel that takes you to the city center. However, it’s also walkable 20-30mins. Nice large room and a comfortable bed. Parking lot is small but we didn’t have an issue. Outstanding breakfast and delicious dinner options. We enjoyed walking around the property, it was nice to sit at the picnic tables and enjoy the scenery. The staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable.
Friendly staff and twin room was spacious and clean.
Breakfast was decent but a little bigger range of options would be preferred for a 4-star hotel.
Didn’t eat at the restaurant as the menu was too limited. Public transport right outside was a standout feature. The centre of Edinburgh was a short 10-15 min bus ride away. Night buses also service the stop so there was no concern about staying out late. Location was perfect as it’s just far out enough to escape the noise, busyness and expensive cost staying in the city centre, but still well connected by transport. Cost was very reasonable for Edinburgh during Tattoo and Fringe season. Overall, would definitely consider staying again.
The property was well maintained and the staff uniformly helpful and competent. The only problem I had with a longer stay was the food. Breakfast was well run and good. Dinner had a limited menu with not enough fresh food and roughage.
Our stay for three nights at the Scholar was great! The staff was very friendly and did a very good job in making our stay most comfortable. Check-in was quick and the room ready after our an early morning train ride from London. The breakfast was kind of average, but filled our bellies nonetheless. Staff at breakfast and dinner was lovely. The cocktail menu at the bar could use a bit more variety. We'll be sure to visit again if we're coming back to Edinburgh in the future.
My friend and I had a fantastic stay at The Scholar during the Fringe Festival. The room is very clean and well appointed. The breakfast and coffee excellent as well as the dinner and drinks we had after the shows. The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this B&B.
Great first impressions, nice reception area and friendly staff. Clear instructions for our stay. Bar area and outside seating very nice again staff very helpful.
Restaurant nice and clean plenty of space between tables, food choice good, well presented.
Defiantly stay with you again.
