Very pleasant with a great breakfast. Rooms have high ceilings and overlook trees on a quiet majestic street. Very friendly staff and a large art collection to admire.

24 Royal Terrace is a gorgeous, unique hotel with an extensive art collection. It is a small boutique lodging with a family atmosphere, and the staff is always ready to help. Breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. When we were leaving, it was like parting with family.

We loved our stay! Only feedback would be the glass sliding doors to the toilet mean zero privacy as a couple.

What a find! Such a lovely hotel- the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more welcoming. The breakfasts were amazing and everything was of the highest quality and such a variety of dishes all freshly prepared to order. It was so conveniently situated for walking into the city centre. I cannot recommend it enough

It is always a pleasure to stay at this hotel, the interior is truly unique. I have stayed at many quality hotels in Edinburgh, but this one, is without a doubt, my favourite. Great rooms, comfortable beds, powerful showers and luxurious bath tubs. Easy on street parking. The breakfast is out of this world and must be one of the best in Britain. However best of all are the wonderful staff who are so welcoming and helpful.

We had a really lovely stay at no 24. Such a great location and the hotel was quirky and fun, and the staff were all lovely. The room (superior double) felt luxurious with a large roll top bath and comfy super king size bed.

Great place to stay in Edinburgh. The staff was amazing. Tony was very helpful with bags and passing on some of his vast knowledge on Whisky.

This hotel is a true gem! In fact it’s not a hotel it’s a home away from home really. It has a real personable feel which you just don’t get from chains. Staff are super friendly and I got the warmest welcome I’ve ever had when checking in. Really can’t fault it.

We cannot say enough about 24 Royal Terrace. From the moment we walked in (after a previous week of travel) to the last minute, we were amazed. The decor is outstanding and intriguing. The staff are on top of everything and go out of their way to answer questions, provide advice or simply share their knowledge and experience. A bonus was the whiskey tasting and expertise! Jonathan and Marinella were so happy to chat and share their wealth of knowledge, and went above and beyond to make the stay so wonderful. This establishment and it's staff are a hidden gem. Adriene was available each evening for a nightcap or a chat, and Naomi. and the lovely darlin' Katie were kind and as sweet as could be. I was so emotional entering Scotland, as it's been a dream to visit my Granny's home land, and I was emotional leaving it as this hotel and people were more than we could have asked for. We will suggest 24 Royal to all our friends, and hope to be back to chat with Jonathan, Nella, Adrien, Naomi and sweet Katie again. Book it. You will have no regrets!! (yes - walking distance to many things, and hop on hop off, is just around the corner) The food was outstanding as well. Naomi was right, the eggs and water are the best in Scotland!
