The Royal Terrace Hotel is well worth staying the next time you are in Edinburgh. The decor is a nice balance between the modern and classic. Our room felt very luxurious, and it was not even a suite. The room had vaulted ceilings, and a great view of the gardens in the back. Morning breakfast was included in our rate... More

A good, clean well positioned hotel. We arrived at the Royal Terrace at 8:30am on a Sunday morning. Our early arrival must met with a no fuss response and not only were our bags looked after we were invited to have breakfast. Although we declined this was a nice gesture and displayed good customer service. Even though the rooms are... More

The location of the hotel is great, with amazing views of the city from the third floor. But, the decor in the rooms and corridors is a bit tired and the noise from the showers was horrendous - not a pleasant way to be woken up at 6 am on a Sunday from the room next door. Breakfast was ok... More

I booked this hotel for two nights via laterooms and was very disappointed. It was cold and wet outside so after a 5 hour journey I looked forward to a warm comfortable room. After an initial keefuffle at reception over not having a credit card ( I paid in full on my debit card) I was shown my room. The... More

This hotel is just 10 minutes walk from Princes Street in Edinburgh and around 15 minutes walk from the bottom of Royal Mile and the Scottish Parliament which makes it in an ideal location. We were in a garden view room at the back of the hotel so it was very quiet. The room was spacious and clean with all... More

Very pleasant staff generally. Very comfortable beds and the rooms were clean, if tired . Walls in breakfast room were offputting ;needing a good wipe down and fingerprints all over side plates and stain in my cup made me question overall hygiene awareness.

My partner and I stayed last Easter Bank holiday (2011) - and we had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were all polite and helpful. They were quite happy for us to leave our bags in reception (in an office) after we checked out, so we could look around the city without dragging them around. The room was very... More

We stayed 2 nights with our family in 2 rooms. Reception was not very friendly but I put that down to a language barrier (even in an Englisg speaking country!). Room was lovely and well sized (we were in the -1 level) but the bathroom on this level was very very cold! Breakfast was delicious and service excellent. The hotel... More
