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.

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

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.

If you cross a mountain road following Google you will be challenged for another hill. Staffs are very kind and especially I miss Arturo so much! You can try the bar to enjoy the home of whiskey. Breakfast was fantastic as well.

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.

What a cute boutique hotel! The room is very lovely with beautiful artwork throughout the hotel and room. Bed is very comfortable and bathroom large with plenty of hot water. We didn't eat in the restaurant or use the bar, but they look lovely. Front desk is very helpful. Highly recommend and would stay again.

This is an amazing property, with very unique features. We felt as we are staying in private apartment, with amazing art, whisky tasting room and host that possessed encyclopedic knowledge and charm. Location is excellent with close proximity to center of the town and all the tourist attractions, but at the same time very quiet and relaxed.

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!

Our favourite hotel in Edinburgh, with brilliant service, room, food and drinks. Attention to detail is faultless and we are always made to feel at home. Beautiful artworks adorn every wall and room decor is comfortable and stylish.

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.

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.
