About This Property

Situated in central Edinburgh at the foot of Calton Hill, 24 Royal Terrace is nestled amongst the grand Georgian townhouses of a UNESCO Heritage site. Royal Terrace, a quiet cobbled street, is just a short walk from the buzz of the city. This stylish boutique hotel, has the added touch of the owner’s ever-changing art collection and a dedicated Whisky bar, serving rare and unique scotch malt Whisky and adding a new chapter to Royal Terrace's history as "Whisky Row". Due to the nature of a grade A listed building, each of the 14 rooms are accessed by stairs and there is no lift at the property. Each room is delicately furnished with premium cotton linen and luxurious bathrobes. The in-room technology offers Smart-TVs with on-demand streaming, an HD soundbar, Apple Airplay and free high-speed WiFi throughout. After a day of exploring, guests can unwind in the hotel's Bar and Garden which offer delicious signature cocktails, wines, beers and snacks. New in 2024: "Towser's Lounge", the hotel's dedicated Whisky lounge with over 200 scotch whiskies, hosts tastings most days as well as whiskies by the dram and flights.

Beware of the stairs...

Room and bed were very comfortable. We also enjoyed the bar on the main floor.

The 5 fights of stairs to get to our room and the WIFI did not work during our entire stay.

Great stay. Loved it.

We got a free upgrade which was a nice surprise. The room was like kings chambers. 5 meters high ceiling with a crystal chandelier, a hot tub in middle of room, I mean wow! Bed was big and comfy, large pillows, cant fault anything, best stay for months. Prime location, walking distance to every possible attraction in city centre. Tram stop and busses 3 minutes away. Overnight parking free off street in front of hotel.

Cant find anything bad really, except maybe the view from window was leading into a backyard but who cares. It was still a great stay.

Quirky hotel decor, really interesting art. Staff were fantastic, nothing too much of a hassle. Will definitely return to see the whiskey lounge in the future.

It was just a quick stay in Edinburgh, but the service and friendliness of the staff was exceptional! We have a wonderfu

The staff were incredible! So friendly and attentive. They took an interest in what our plans were for the day and gave great recommendations. My husband and I were at the tail end of a cold while we were there and therefore had a lingering cough. One of the staff members, Arturo, noticed and made us some really soothing tea without us asking. The attached bar is great, with excellence service. My husband did a whisky tasting with Tony and he really really enjoyed it. Tony is very knowledgeable about whisky and was a blast to interact with. The hotel itself is comfortable, clean, and quiet. We had a street facing room but I found it to be quiet, the street isnt too busy. We were able to comfortably walk to all of the main attractions and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here! If Im ever in Edinburgh again, I will be staying here.
