24 Royal Terrace Hotel

Of all the wonderful places we have stayed on our travels this was the most memorable. Every part of our stay at 24 Royal Terrace was exceptional. The service and staff were incredible - attentive, friendly, professional and warmly hospitable. Arturo, Marinella, Samantha, Tony and Jonathan truly made us feel like family. The hotel itself is uniquely adorned with artwork, including the well furnished rooms. I usually don’t mention the beds, but theirs were like sleeping in a cloud. The boutique bar/restaurant on the first floor was open 24 hours/day and the breakfast there Michelin quality. And if you’re interested in enjoying a scotch whisky tasting, we strongly recommend you attend one of Tony’s on-site (the Scotch Whisky Guy) incredibly educational sessions. We did 2 different tastings while we in Edinburgh and his was by far was the best. Additionally, being located about a 15 minute walk from the busy city center in a quiet neighborhood was another huge plus for us after a full day of sight seeing. Finally I have to thank the owner Alesia for being so gracious and helpful. My wife and I often stay in smaller boutique hotels for the personal attention, you’ll find that and more at 24 Royal Terrace.

Lovely hotel on quiet street with great views and full of artwork. It is very convenient for the city - go right towards Holyrood, left towards Princes Street or back over Carlton Hill for fabulous views. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The bar looked nice although we didn't have chance to sample the whiskies unfortunately. It seemed reasonably priced compared to similar hotels.

Beautifully decorated boutique hotel in a great location for exploring, ideally placed for walking or using the trams or buses. |We booked a standard room, which although was cozy compared to others was perfect for us and still offered all the same luxuries in ways of hairdryer, teas, coffee and bottled water and lovely smelling bathroom accessories. |After a long day walking around, it was a lovely return to be met with homemade mince pies at reception, a lovely hot shower and the comfiest bed and pillows.

Beautiful hotel in a perfect location for exploring. We booked the standard room, which although cozy was absolutely perfect for us. Very clean, very comfy bed, lovely lotions in the bathroom, the room had everything you could need. Staff were very welcoming and hospitable and happy to look after our bags on our last day whilst we were exploring. Would recommend to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Lovely staff who made me feel very welcome and went out of their way to make my stay great.|Decided to add breakfast to my stay on arrival, pleased I did! There was a great choice and quality was excellent. |Room had a lovely view over the gardens, hotel has a good atmosphere with its art an interesting feature. Whiskey room is cozy and offers a very wide selection.

This hotel is superb. ||Set on a well maintained street full of beautiful Georgian Houses, 24 Royal Terrace is a stunning building loaded with tonnes of character. ||Throughout the hotel you will find exceptional pieces of artwork, beautiful furniture and decorations. The bar / breakfast area is my favourite, with a beautiful Murano glass chandelier. The new whiskey bar which opened this year is equally beautiful, with an exceptional ceiling painting you would expect to see in a large gallery piece. ||As we arrive to check in we are greeted with mince pies at the door which was a nice touch. Travelled up the incredible staircases, again lined with art, to the very top floor where our boutique bedroom was found. Although there is no lift the staff are more than happy to support with luggage, but if less mobile you might like to contact them for a lower room. Not a criticism as I enjoyed the walk and the tricky climbs are well advertised when booking.||The room has all you would expect and more. Lovely views, the most comfortable bed and pillows - I slept so well. There are stylish decorations, artwork and furniture. There is also a well stocked mini fridge with complimentary water, alongside the kettle with a selection of premium teas, coffee and hot chocolate. Great hairdryer which is very helpful for maintaining my quiff - normally a fear of mine using a hotel hairdryer 🤣 shower was cosy but powerful with nice toiletries. The whole room immaculately clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Truly comfortable and warm. ||Breakfast was delicious. Full Scottish was amazing as were the eggs royale, well worth adding on to your booking! Really fresh, hot and wholesome. Also had some tasty bar snacks before popping out. ||Finally the staff. The jewel in the otherwise perfect crown. Nothing was too much trouble for the kind and knowledgeable staff here. They were all brilliant, everyone so kind and friendly. Each person we saw was welcoming and took a genuine interest in how your day has been and how your stay was going. ||2 specific mentions - Firstly Jonathan the manager - demonstrated unparalleled passion for his work which is clearly reflected in the rest of the team. I enjoyed chatting with him about the hotel and the newly designed Whiskey Bar. ||He has also taught me that I like an old fashioned and even wrote down a short tutorial and recipe for me to try and make it myself. I’m not sure this is a good thing for my health but certainly is for my tastebuds 😍||Also Arturo - we dealt with Arturo the most from check in, to each breakfast and check out. He is a real credit to the hotel. Arturo had us laughing from the moment we arrived. He was really interesting to get to know and he also took a real interest in our hometown and some tips for when he visits! He was a breath of fresh air. ||I cannot recommend this hotel enough, and would not choose to stay anywhere else when visiting Edinburgh - I know I’d only be disappointed after experiencing 24 Royal Terrace. ||Thank you all so much for an amazing stay, and we will see you again soon. Merry Christmas!||Robert and Amy (Liverpool)

Amazing hotel with lots of character. Food,drinks and service are excellent. If you are a whiskey enthusiast their whiskey bar is an absolute must and state of art . The hotel is also a gallery with lots of unique artwork that you cannot see in any other place. Breakfast in the morning is 10 out of 10. Shout out to the staff who make sure every guest is welcome and looked after. No doubt that I would visit again!

Tony and all members of the staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are really spacious. Bed are extremely comfortable. Great water pressure, 100% recommended.
