Bruntsfield Links Short Hole Golf Course

Lovely apartment in a great location. Right next to the Palace. Located at the opposite end of the royal mile to Edinburgh castle, and not far from all tourist sites and restaurants. It's all uphill from the apartment, but a lovely downhill walk on the way back. 😁 Apartment was lovely and clean, plenty of room for us and a super handy bed/sofa that was easy to use each day. Only issue was we were never sent the door code for entry to the apartment. No-one seemed to reply on the info@abbeystrandapartments.com email address. Called twice and was told something about the company being bought out. Super helpful lady on the phone who then sent us the door code. That came from reception@oldtownchambers.com email address. Who knows who's running it. Great weekend break in a great apartment. Admin was rubbish though. As always, saved by the lovely friendly staff on the phone.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Scotsman Edinburgh. The staff were warm and helpful. The bathrooms were newly updated, which was great, but there were a few maintenance issues that held the stay back from being a full 5 stars. The shower fixture kept coming off the wall whenever the water pressure was on, and there were several large brown stains on the carpets, which made the room feel a little less luxurious than expected. Overall, it’s a beautiful hotel with great service, and with a few maintenance improvements, it could easily be a perfect 5/5.

Was a pleasant stay. Furnishings were very average in taste but apartment had everything one needs. Location is perfect. Walkable, accessible to shopping, restaurants and attractions.
