Our favourite hotel in Edinburgh, with brilliant service, room, food and drinks. Attention to detail is faultless and we are always made to feel at home. Beautiful artworks adorn every wall and room decor is comfortable and stylish.

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights, and it was such a memorable stay. I love the boutique style hotel with beautiful and different décor throughout. My favorite was all the artwork along the staircase up each floor. Our room was spacious and so comfortable plus the in room water was a bonus! Jonathan and all the staff were so lovely and helpful in making suggestions of where to go as well as securing transportation if needed. They pay attention to a lot of detail, and it shows with the cleanliness and appearance of the hotel. The location was perfect as this was our first experience in Edinburgh, but it was within walking distance to everywhere we needed to go while being on a quiet street.

Great stay
My 3 might stay at 24 Royal Terrace was a trip highlight. The room was very comfortable, spacious and (most importantly) exceptionally clean. The property as a whole had a lovely character, with unique artworks on all of the walls. Staff were very welcoming and helpful providing good directions and suggestions. Wouldn't consider staying elsewhere on any future trips to Edinburgh.

Absolutely loved staying at 24 Royal Terrace! Felt so welcome as soon as we arrived by the friendly staff/ hotel manager Jonathon. Rooms are great with a peaceful garden/ countryside view. Hotel itself is really nice with loads of character. Breakfast with unlimited coffee both mornings was also great. Will be back!! :)

This is a very pleasant boutique hotel in a Grade A listed Georgian terrace within walking distance of Princes Street. However due to it being a listed building there is no lift. We were allocated a room on the top floor and being pensioners we found the climb up three flights of stairs rather difficult and were fortunate to be able to afford to pay for an upgrade to a junior suite on the first floor we appreciated the discount to their usual rate offered by the receptionist. This room was very spacious, beautifully finished to a high standard with a very nice en-suite, a fridge with mini bar. Breakfast was not included in the room rate and while of a good standard in my opinion was not value for money. The continental breakfast consists of cereals, croissants, small pastries with a choice of two fruit juices, home made yoghurt, fruit salad and jams. Cooked items incurring a fairly steep supplement. I have to say all the staff were very nice, friendly and attentive. The hotel sells itself as being an art gallery as well as a hotel and the walls are full of paintings mostly of modern art which personally was not to my taste.

24 Royal Terrace is a gem
24 Royal Terrace is a gem. I've now stayed here twice and I always thoroughly enjoy my stay. The rooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated, kitted out with a very good ironing board, robe, kettle, selection of teas, hair dryer and several useful necessaires. The breakfast is delightful whether you order eggs benedict or porridge it is deliciously made and beautifully presented and they are able to skilfully accommodate even the most complex dietary requirements. Well worth the stay, great value for money and a great experience as part of visiting a grand city like Edinburgh. The only thing to take into account is that there is no lift, so you do get a bit of a workout every time you return to your room.

Lovely little hotel in a quiet area. No stairs which is a bit difficult. No dining nearby and need to make the mile trek to get to any activity. BHowever very friendly staff and very pleasant stay.
