The location is great- Walking distance to everything. The building is very pretty, and the staff is very nice.

Becky United States of America

Location - close to shopping centre yet very quiet but wide cobble street, nicely decorated and comfortable room. They were very accommodating to your preference of the room at short notice.

Takako United Kingdom

The room was very large and bathroom very good. The best part is being located on the Royal Terrace Road. There is a row of huge trees there and almost no street traffic. It was just wonderful. Fantastic location near the beginning of the Royal Mile. Everyone should venture over to McNaughtan’s Bookshop because it is so close. Typewronger Books right next door is also a treat.

Joseph United States of America

Big room with a view. In a very nice old building on a quiet street. Big bed & nice shower. Warm welcome when we arrived.

Stephen Canada

Breakfast was good and appropriate for the time (covid). Also, the location was phenomenal!

Mara Puerto Rico

Such a great location, reasonable price and warm host.

Zhiyi United States of America

The room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The shower had good pressure and temperature. The location was quiet, and there were places nearby that were great to discover. Also, the whole system of checking in and out was super easy.

Anna United States of America

Host Michael was especially helpful and pleasant . The room was very spacious and the very clean. The decor was traditional …. felt very European .

David United States of America

The property is lovely and sits on Carlton Hill. Our room overlooked the hillside and street, providing a nice springtime view. Rooms on the other side of the hall had a garden view, which at this time of year was beautiful. The property retains its grandeur, though is a bit worn. Nevertheless, we were only on the property for sleeping and getting ready each morning for long days of exploration. Simple needs were well met— quiet while sleeping, adequate showers, and comfortable beds. The location was great, making it easy to walk into the center of the city within 10 minutes and close to bus stops. Holyrood is the closest point on the Royal Mile.

Amy United States of America

Michael was a wonderful host. the hotel was beautiful, the room was really big and had a wonderful view to the garden. breakfast was nice and plenty.

  • Is there free parking and can it be booked with the room?
    PARKING: Royal Terrace is a relatively quiet street with lots of parking spaces. : Parking in this street (and most city centre streets) is expensive = currently £2.50 per hour. You have to pay for your parking from 8.30a.m. to 5.30 p.m. weekdays (free Saturday and Sunday) and you have to move your car every 4 hours. There is parking in London Road (parallel to Royal Terrace – down the hill opposite through the trees) – THIS SIDE of the road – for only £5.00 for all day. You have to be quick to get a space – so best to move your car there the night before – as the locals will grab the spaces very quickly in the morning. There is also out of town parking: Newcraigs hall train station which is a 'park and ride'- just 50p parking and £4 return train into the centre of Edinburgh next to Waverley Bridge
