    comfortable bed
    impressive breakfast
    convenient location
    no elevator
    missing tea

    The Royal Terrace offered a fantastic stay with beautifully decorated rooms. The art throughout the hotel added a unique charm. My room had a large bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud. Breakfast impressed, especially the full Scottish option. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the city center. the lack of an elevator posed a challenge with all the stairs, especially after a long day exploring. It would have been great to have tea and coffee facilities in the room too. Nonetheless, the attentive staff really enhanced the experience.

    great location
    helpful staff
    fantastic breakfast
    no elevator

    We had an awesome time staying here! The location was perfect, just a short walk to Scott Monument and the Scottish National Gallery. The staff was super helpful, even offering to carry our bags up the stairs. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of options to choose from. Definitely recommend this spot for a fun group getaway!

    One downside was that there was no elevator, so we had to carry our luggage up several flights of stairs.

    The experience was exceptional, staying in a beautifully decorated room with high ceilings and unique charm. The tranquil gardens provided a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring. We enjoyed a really tasty breakfast each morning, and the overall ambiance made us feel like we were part of something special. The location was perfect, close to attractions but still peaceful enough to unwind in the evenings.

    I truly appreciated the beautifully decorated rooms with high ceilings and charming chandeliers, which created an inviting atmosphere. The tranquil gardens provided a lovely space for relaxation, making it easy for seniors to enjoy the outdoor environment.

    Steep stairs could be challenging for some seniors.

    great location
    small room

    Had a fantastic time with friends! Just a 10-minute stroll to the Scott Monument and the Scottish National Gallery. The room was lovely, and the breakfast was so good! Staff were really friendly. Definitely recommend the full Scottish breakfast. it was incredible!

    The only downside was that our room was a bit smaller than expected, but it was still really comfortable.

    street noise
    no elevator

    The room was nicely decorated with unique touches and very comfy. I loved the views from the window, and it felt cozy like home. The art around the hotel added charm, making it feel more like a gallery than just a place to stay. Just be aware of the stairs. it can be a workout! A few small noise distractions from outside, but nothing too bothersome. a pleasant space to relax after a day of exploring.
