    Nothing not to like. Perhaps a restock of biscuits and hot choc a bit more frequently if I’m being picky!

    The hotel was well situated for the sights and city centre. It was situated on a beautiful and quiet road and was very clean with excellent facilities. The staff were also very friendly.

    Not a really criticism, just think it would be handy to have tea/coffee facility in the room. Although I have stayed at many hotels and the lack of a kettle, tea/coffee and a few biscuits do seem to be the norm these days.

    Everything is amazing!! Beautifully presented and decorated accommodation, very large room (room 7) with traditional Georgian high ceiling, overlooking the garden. Very modern and clean en-suite bathroom. Breakfast served at the hotel, I had to leave early, so didn't have time to try the breakfast. There is a small Smeg fridge/mini bar in the room. Hotel bar open until late. Very friendly staff.

    There wasn't anything I didn't like.

    Everything about the hotel was perfect The staff were amazing and made our stay wonderful. They really perfected our stay.our room was beautiful and the staff were accommodating. I came from the england and wanted some big 30 balloons in the room and they did this for me with no hesitation. The room was lovely and extremely clean. Highly recommended to anyone visiting. Very close to the main town centre Make sure to take warm clothes as its very cold. The hotel is an art style boutique It's worth visiting 24rt gallery which is about 20 min car journey. Alot of the art in the hotel is from this place, part of their brand and theme. Their breakfast is amazing aswell. Great quality food.

    Have I mentioned the stairs? Lots of stairs.

    24 Royal Terrace is a very beautiful Georgian townhouse that, despite being around 200 years old, was beautifully appointed. It is a hotel/art gallery with many, many pieces of amazing art on every wall. Our room was on the top floor overlooking a very lovely terraced garden area, which on nice days would have been lovely to sit in and enjoy. Breakfast was included with our rate and it was very nicely done. Our coffee was made fresh for us and we could order whatever we liked to eat. Be aware that because it is a listed property there is no elevator and walking the many, many steps from the lobby to our room was quite an adventure. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was welcoming and friendly. There is a bar in the hotel and the bartender is very knowledgeable and friendly. There is also a very nice park directly across the street and it is only about a 10 minute walk to get a tram to go to the Royal Mile or to the airport.

    Room was a little stuffy but opening windows wasn’t wise because of rain and mosquitos coming in (lower level). Pull out sofa was not on good condition (bent and twisted). As a sofa, it was good but not so much as a bed.

    Amazing staff! Quiet location.

    I loved their small plates at night but would have been great if the restaurant also served dinner.

    What a cool spot! The art everywhere is gorgeous, the bar has a great vibe, and Tony the Whisky guy is full of amazing knowledge and gives excellent tours. Highly recommend! We had the studio which was a basement apartment but so spacious and had its own exit door. Room was clean, comfortable, and even had scented pillow spray. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend!

    The directions given on Google map take you the wrong way which was no fun in the pouring rain carrying a suitcase. I wonder if the hotel can do anything with Google to correct this as a real problem when trying to navigate anywhere from the hotel.

    The decor was outstanding, all of the stunning artwork was a real delight and the attention to design and detail really stood out. A really impressive boutique hotel with a quirky interior to match.

    We were fine with the stairs but if you have mobility challenges make that clear and I suspect the attentive staff could arrange a lower floor room.

    We had a great three night stay at 24 Royal Terrace at the end of Sept. The comfortable twin bed room (harder to find than one would expect), excellent breakfast with great choices and substantive servings, and perfectly quiet but accessible location were very good. We walked to newtown, to HolyRood Palace all easily from here and metro stop is close as well. There were over 70 steps from the lobby to our top floor room(!) but the staff graciously offered to carry our bags. In fact my suitcase got lost enroute from Canada (in Frankfurt) and it was only the persistent help of Justina and the front desk team who helped me retrieve it on our final day just as we were moving on. Thank you Justina! The staff are what make this place extra special.

    Spent a nice long weekend in Edinburgh. Hotel is located quite central, interior design with attention to detail. Delicious and generous breakfast. Cosy bar with nice selection of cocktails. They also offer whiskey tasting for those who are interested, good selection of whiskeys presented with humour.
