Was Gäste sagen

Aus den Bewertungen geht hervor, dass The Scholar für freundliches, aufmerksames Personal, saubere und komfortable Zimmer sowie eine ruhige Lage auf dem Universitätscampus mit guten Busanbindungen und fußläufiger Erreichbarkeit von Arthur’s Seat und dem Stadtzentrum gelobt wird, ergänzt durch praktische Parkmöglichkeiten vor Ort.

Easy parking. Free EV charging is a bonus. Location is ok. Bit far out of city centre but great place for walk in the park. Clean and modern room. Breakfast was fine. Nothing special.

The hotel was very nice. Beds were very comfortable. It was quiet and had adequate parking options. The breakfast was great, although it was temporarily at their sister hotel next door as they are currently remodeling. Staff were extremely nice. They also had a nice bar with some food items. Would definitely stay here again!

Lift out of order and restricted WiFi make this difficult to use for business. In addition because of a fault we couldn’t turn the heating off which made it impossible to sleep in and they couldn’t change the room until the morning and the pillows were too thick to sleep on. The room was clean and tidy otherwise.

Being situated on the University campus the hotel was in a great location with Arthur's seat only a 10 minute walk. Bus stops to and from Edinburgh are right outside the gates or you can walk around the park by Arthur's seat down to Holyrood at the end of the Royal Mile in just 30 minutes. The hotel restaurant is very good and the Salisbury Arms right over the road is an excellent alternative.

Our bathroom had very obvious and visable black mold along the edge of the shower. Additional black mold could be found on one of the towel hangars. Pink mold was on the shower head. The staff was very receptive when we requested to have the mold cleaned. However, the mold should not have been there to begin with. The staff we interacted with were definitely the best part of the hotel.

The room was comfortable and we slept very well for four nights. We came to attend a conference. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel's restaurant were lovely and we enjoyed the outdoor seating with the flowers and trees on the well kept grounds of the University of Edinburgh. There were plenty of good restaurants within easy walking distance, and it was easy to cath buses to the city center for sightseeing.

I've stayed at The Scholar for many year for a conference at the nearby conference centre. It had features that were helpful for a business stay: a very large desk area, and space to unpack business clothes. Sadly, my first room had neither of these features. The old drawer unit and desk area were gone, replaced by a very small desk/vanity unit. The small closet had an upright slot for an ironing board but the ironing board no longer fitted the slot but was using up the entire full-length hanging area. The amenities tray had moved from the previous drawer unit into the small wardrobe so any items hung in the wardrobe would dangle into cupsAnd a previous sensible chair to sit on at the large desk was replaced by a small round 'pouffe' stool. There are no drawers at all to unpack into, and there was nowhere (apart from the floor) to place a suitcase so that I could 'live out of my suitcase'. I protested to the 'client relationship manager' about these things and simply got a bland 'I'm sorry we can't meet your needs'. My first room was also on the top floor, and a heavy rain shower on the roof woke me up at 3am on my first night. So I asked to be moved. Imagine my surprise to discover that my new room had an appropriate ironing board so I could hang clothes, and also a suitcase stand! Plus they brought me a proper chair. So they were perfectly able to meet my needs, after all. Ask for a lower-floor room and a suitcase stand.

I have a fainting condition. I need to make sure I have adequate access to food and snacks throughout the day, especially for a demanding day walking around Edinburgh. On our first breakfast I asked for a takeout container to take a few items with us for the day. There was no issue with this and the staff were lovely about it. The next day the manager came to find us at breakfast to tell me I had taken too much food the previous day. I had taken some bread rolls, a couple pastries and a yogurt. Surprised by this I apologised and felt as if I couldn't take anything for the day. This just made my day harder for no reason. The manager made me feel embarrassed, humiliated and stressed out. There was no need to talk to me how she did in front of other guests in the restaurant. I just hope that saving the hotel £2 on leftover breakfast food was worth it for making my day harder. Maybe if someone is asking to take a few things for the day there's a reason, and I feel the manager needed to think about this. I hope in future you can think about how you treat guests with requests like these. Other than that we had a lovely couple of nights away for our anniversary but this put a real downer on the situation. It's not easy for me to prepare some food to take with me while staying in a hotel and I feel my request was perfectly reasonable. I wouldn't have mind if I'd been politely told I can't take any food. It's how the manager rudely dealt with it and how she made me feel which was the

The staff were very friendly and were willing to answer any silly question I had. The hotel itself is located outside city centre, so you do need to take a bus to get in - but there are so many connections, and The Scholar is very close to the bus stop. The room was clean, and given that you aren’t quite in the heart of the city, quiet. I would book again.

Everything was great but the dinner. You were out Bolognese, which was the one menu item we were looking forward too that was something finally different than usual Scottish food. Got a Caesar salad instead that had little to no dressing. When I asked for more, I was brought a dish of mayonnaise. That was a joke and I regret paying for it. It was not good. We should have dined somewhere else.
