have stayed here several times before and it remains my favourite place to stay in Edinburgh. I know that a clean, comfortable room can be relied on. the staff as always were polite and professional. check-in and out was smooth and fuss-free and the location is perfect. the garden to the rear is beautifully-maintained and a great place to relax when the weather permits.

I’ve never had cause to be unhappy with any aspect of my stay here before, but sadly that changed this time. please switch on the towel rails!! the room was so cold. the radiator gave off minimal heat, no matter how high the setting. I was hoping to add extra heat by leaving the bathroom door open to allow the heated towel rail to emit some heat. unfortunately the towel rail was cold and unlike previous visits, there was no way of switching this on - there was a small note advising this could be done as a special request if arranged in advance. the bathroom was so cold!! I understand times are challenging and cut backs need to be made, but please reconsider the towel rails. Not even in the interests of dry towels, just as a source of heat.

From the greeting on arrival the stay at 24 was excellent. Great staff, breakfast, room, location, décor. We loved this place! Our room was huge, beautifully decorated, high ceilings, amazing chandelier, large bathroom, lovely carpet. Extremely comfortable, what a good nights sleep, very clean too. A lot of thought has gone into the comfort of guests, even a lavender pillow spray. Terraced garden at the rear of hotel is ideal for a quiet read and a G&T. The hotel in is a row of lovely Georgian properties, situated on a wide quiet road with Carlton Hill behind and a walk through a parked area with trees in front of the hotel. Wonderful bookshop at the end of the road and numerous eating places within a short stroll. About 10 minutes walk to Princes Street. We met the wonderful owner and the lovely neighbours too, Peter the barman / night ported was excellent. Its now our favourite place to stay in Edinburgh and we'll definitely go back. Thank you all.

Nothing, it was brilliant!

We love the style Victorian and art gallery, the bedroom is amazing, the hotel staff are very friendly and kind. Cinthia and Alex were incredible, we loved their affection and we felt welcome. The bathroom kits are very cute, and the sleeping masks and ear plugs that I missed in other hotels helped me sleep soundly. Beautiful garden in the backyard, view from the room is wonderful, the hotel is on the most expensive block in Edinburgh.

We had difficulty using the shower (room 6), the water was super hot, in the end we decided to use the bathtub, which was more pleasant anyway. As for breakfast, the kitchen opened at 8am for hot meal (omelettes, etc.), we wanted to leave early for the tours, so we chose to have breakfast outside the hotel.

WOW what an amazing hotel! I only wish I could have stayed longer but I will certainly be back. I have been a hotelier for many years and this is a true home to home stay. The moment you walk in, you are part of the family. I traveled alone on this occasion and I felt so welcome and.. more than that, I felt at home !. My room was gorgeous , shower was amazing , shower products are really lovely and the bed was super comfy. The location is superb with gorgeous views of the city and a beautiful garden. However beautiful hotels are all over the world.. the star of this hotel are the People, the TEAM!! Peter welcome me and was so attentive and welcoming, but everyone from reception to the hotel owner.. an amazing woman by the way, who I hope to see again in the near future. Thank 24 Royal Terrace for a memorable stay!

I really don't have anything to say , for me and my short stay, everything was wonderful.

The staff in this beautiful little hotel just couldn't do enough to make my stay comfortable. My "cosy single" room was obviously small but didn't feel small, everything about the design was clever and welcoming, and I peeked into some of the suites on my way up - absolutely gorgeous! There's colourful art everywhere and it's the opposite of a bland chain hotel while still being clean and luxurious. Best veggie breakfast I've had for years - vegetarian haggis, always delicious! Views on both sides of the building are beautiful and I made good use of the garden in the sun. I'll be hoping to book again when I come back with my partner.

The hotel is amazing. Like an art gallery with interesting, high quality pieces. The room was comfortable. Good sheets, pillows and mattresses. So many room extras which gives it a luxury feel. The breakfast was the best we have ever had in a hotel. Fresh, well-presented and yummy. Such a good choice as well. The staff get just the right balance of attentive and helpful without being overbearing. Honestly the most enjoyable stay I've ever had in a hotel. We'll be back!

The sliding glass door on the bathroom prevented some privacy. But that's really nitpicking. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Friendliness and service levels of all the staff. Very nice, clean and sizeable room which includes all the amenities that you could wish for. An amazing view out to the sea was a real bonus!

Quiet expensive albeit comparable to all other properties I searched. Only breakfast and then snacks available from a food perspective. I was hoping to dine in following a long day away from the hotel but was disappointed to find out only light bites available. So it’s really a B&B. Also preserve a lot of energy if your room is on the 3rd floor :-)

Perfect stay from start to finish. I can't thank 24 Royal Terrace enough for such a restful break. I booked this as a double celebration holiday for my partners Birthday and our Anniversary. The manager gave us a complimentary room upgrade as a superior room had come available so we stayed in the Studio Apartment. The room was huge, very quiet and the shower was lovely. Breakfast was by and far the best breakfast we're had on any holiday...it truly set you up for the day. My partner had the Full Scottish Breakfast everyday and couldn't stop telling me how nice the sausages were. I had a Veggie Breakfast and the Bircher Muesli and both were delicious. I normally don't have a cooked breakfast but this was great - the veggie sausages were super flavoursome and the spinach, mushrooms were cooked perfectly. Staff were friendly, and we were in a great location for walking to the main sites but out of the way of the hustle and bustle.

It was great, my only minor comment would be the bed was quite soft and had a slight dip in the middle of the mattress but it was still more comfortable than our bed at home. I slept like a log regardless.

This hotel was a lovely wee place, for me in just the right spot in between the city centre and Leith (more for locals but always my favorite areas of Edinburgh having lived there many years) access straight onto Calton Hill where you can get a nice stroll and some of the best views of the city (second only to Arthur's Seat) and just round corner from Playhouse and Braughton St area which is always good for eating. Enjoyed the artwork all around the place some I would have happily taken home with me and the whisky man was certainly a fountain of knowledge (and I thought I knew a thing or two about the subject).

Top floor so good few stairs to climb(turned out view from room worth it) certainly wasn't a big deal to me however and good warm up for tackling Calton Hill!

everything was great, from the customer care to the room, the location is great just 15/20 minutes walking to centre of Edinburgh. I really enjoyed the breakfast and the paintings, the cure for the small details makes the difference for example finding water bottles in the room. Compared to the high prices that you can find in Edinburgh this hotel is totally worth it! thank you to all the guys who work there. I’m sure they put a lot of effort and love in what they are doing and if the structure is so well presented and cured into details it must be from all the hard work that the members of the staff put into it.

no complaints at all
