It was ok. I overpaid heavily for the stay. Was showing $164 euros a night when I paid $255 a night. The terrace was pretty. Location was ok, not as good as the old town or new town but, an easy uber. Staff was not kind my first day and then got better the second day. Bed was comfy.

We spent two weeks at the Voco Royal Terrace and loved the experience! The King Suite was huge; king size bed, pull out sofa bed, seating area with a sectional couch, built-in wardrobe with hanging spaces and drawers, beautiful bathroom with separate tub and shower. The housekeeping amenities were lovely and included free cans of water plus shortbread cookies and Tunnock caramel bars daily. Food quality was good and the terrace outside was stunning. All staff we encountered was lovely and so helpful. We plan to stay here again next time we come!

Our entire family stayed at the voco Edinburgh Royal Terrace on the front and back end of a ten day trip through Scotland. We really enjoyed this property and would definitely stay there again. Lovely, quiet street, walkable to historic city center, large comfortable rooms, some with gorgeous garden views, wonderful breakfast and bar. Staff was very helpful all the time, with Lewis being a particular favorite. :) Overall a great choice for a visit to incredible Edinburgh.

Beautiful property and room. Comfortable beds, sizable room! Loved having access to room service, which was good and reasonably priced, though wish they were open later for jet lag purposes- they also stopped serving prior to 9 30 a few nights. Our air conditioning wasn't working and we were offered no solution or discount. One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was because it had air conditioning. The window didn't open much either so the room was often warm. Also something to note is that the hotel is up a big hill! Lots of big hills in Edinburgh, but something to keep in mind when planning getting around.

I am currently backpacking around the UK and I needed a good nights sleep after a long travel day. When I arrived with my big backpack and sweatshirt on the two people at the front desk gave each other a weird look and I had to say hello first and they asked what I wanted. I stated I had a room reserved and they instantly changed demeanors. Other than that, the room and the grounds were lovely and I got the good nights sleep that I needed. The location is great but be warned a lot of uphill walking haha
