1st Class! Fabulous hotel with the most helpful, professional and friendly staff. The room was outstanding as was the breakfast. Ideal for exploring Edinburgh. We will be visiting again
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel - all the staff were so welcoming, helpful and warm. The vibrant art - historical dog portraits dominated during our stay - was a total delight, our room was so comfortable and beautiful, and the full breakfast was absolutely delicious. 10 out of 10 stars for this lovely hotel!

Spotlessly clean room, friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely stay again
Very friendly staff. Beautiful building and exceptionally comfy bed after exploring the city. Great location as only 5 mins from bars and restaurants. Near Playhouse.
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.
An outstanding boutique hotel in all ways imaginable. All members of the staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for a week’s exploration of Edinburgh.
I loved the large room with a couch and sitting area. But especially, we really liked Johnathan and the way he took good care of us while at the hotel. Everything from recommendations on dinner to the whisky in the hotel whisky bar. He made everything even that much better. I highly recommend 24 Royal Terrace!
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.
A lovely hotel with amazing staff - if you get a chance to do the whiskey tasting with the whiskey guy I would really recommend! It is more than a hotel, it is a beautiful art gallery and secret bar that makes it worth while!
24 Royal Terrace was a charming boutique hotel! So cute and easily accessible to the Edinburg airport tram. Our room was on the top floor, 61 steps up with no lift, but the staff kindly carried up all of our luggage. The staff was extremely wonderful and helpful in every way! Loved this treasure of a hotel in Edinburg!

We loved 24 Royal Terrace. The staff were all very helpful, the breakfast was excellent and the location was perfect - right next to Calton Hill. We walked everywhere. Our room (number 2) was huge! The bathtub was huge! We would highly recommend.
Extremely comfortable apartment style hotel with the best shower in Europe. Huge living space with a kitchen and comfortable king size bed. Staff is very welcoming and location is convenient to the city on foot.
Perhaps one of our finest hotels of all-time. Gracious service, individual attention, fantastic location, gorgeous rooms, and beautifully decorated. Couldn't ask for more.
