If driving, sort out parking before you arrive! The hotel has a discount code if you pre-book in the Q-park Omni. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the car park so would recommend briefly parking outside the hotel when checking in and unloading suitcases.

The Fringe and Tattoo in. A weekend

Nothing more than you’d expect but I found the bed uncomfortable. Try he food was good quality and hot. The bar prices were reasonable. M I at of the staff have English. Scottish as a second language it the service was good.
Anthony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were traveling for our anniversary and a bucket of sodas on ice was sent to our room! It was a nice touch, and the front desk staff had so many helpful suggestions for activities and meals. The property was just slightly out of the way of how busy the city is, which was also nice.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We liked it.

The location of the hotel was convenient for travelling around the city on foot. Walking distance to the railway station and Royal Mile. The hotel room is spacious with high ceilings. The garden looked beautiful from the large windows. We liked that it was clean, tidy and quiet.
Enes, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is in a great location for all the sites in the city and is on a quiet road for the evening. Hotel is clean and modern and all the staff were welcoming and friendly

Nadine, 5-night trip

Staff at the property were fantastic. Front reception headed by Zerala was A .
Patricia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pros: The staff are friendly, helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. The location is very good, quiet, near many dining options. Cons: It would be better if the room has a mini fridge or microwave. The mattress of the sofa bed is too soft and does not support 2 people well. I hope the sofa bed mattress can be improved in the future. Overall, we like the hotel.
hien, 4-night trip

Located in a very convenient area and very walkable distance to the city center. Also loved the the aesthetic of the rooms and hotel in general.

firstly very good hotel in edinburgh very good conditions and very good just problem There was a lot of noise coming from the bed, I woke up to the sound all night long.
abdullah baran, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a great time, staff were lovely. The only negative was the tiny bathroom, bedroom was lovely.
Siobhan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

If you could open the windows I'd review a lot higher, the ability to air rooms would mean a much better environment in the hotel, otherwise breakfast and the building are lovely.
Steve, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic stay

Our stay was perfect. Staff team couldn’t do enough for us. We stayed for the first time with our dog - who was just as welcome as us.
Jan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There were bugs in our room. And mold and as some who is allergic it was quite disappointing
Angel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From the minute we entered the hotel, we were met with friendly, kind and approachable staff (who were actually able to let us into our room early). We had a great room, with fantastic facilities and a comfortable bed. The restaurant and outdoor area were well designed and we made use of, with a glass of wine, because the weather was so good during our stay. I didn’t make it to the gym, but it looked like it was good, if I had. Also, fantastic breakfast. We just wish we could have stayed longer!
Edward, 1-night trip

Room and amenities are amazing. Top dollar hotel for the money.

Property was nice and clean, staff friendly and accommodating
Sophie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Outdated but fine stay

Decent location, about a 15-20 min walk from the hot spots. Quiet but very small room for two people. Suitable for one person. Rooms are pretty old and outdated and look like it - specifically the bathroom which shows quite a bit of wear which makes it look dirty. We did not sleep well here due to the small size of the bed and fact that the bathroom light switch is on the outside so if someone gets up in the middle of the night the bathroom light is quite bright.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice spot and out of the hustle of the old city. Walking was fine if you are in shape. It was a good workout. Very kind staff. Room was nice with a lovely view. Hot water in the bath was a little tricky. Beds were on the hard side if that is what you want.
Leah, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had 2 nights at the property recently and loved our stay. I need a quiet sleep and Voco Royal Terrace delivered. While only an easy 15 minute walk from most of the sights, it’s completely outside of the hustle and bustle, on a quiet street. We also thought the room was brilliant with high ceilings and plenty of space. We look forward to staying here again!
