Grand, old world place to stay.

This Hotel co-exists as The Royal Scots Club, and was a fascinating place to stay. The standard double room we had had a large bed and bathroom, and was very spacious. It was on the basement floor, just below street level, where lot of the Club's facilities were. The dining room was elegant, and we had both dinner and breakfast there. Nice food and service. The reception staff were nice too. The Club is in a quieter atea of Edinburgh, but not too far from things to see.
