Stayed here as part of a business trip. Got upgraded and the bed was the best we have ever slept in, didn't want to get out of it in the morning!. Friendly and efficient staff on reception. Breakfast was average. Would stay here again more

I am just back from a few days businness in Edinburgh. My first impressions were positive, the welcome that I recieved and the overall friendlynessof the staff. My room was clean, tidy and suited me perfecly, it had a wonderful view and at the end of a busy day was calming to return to. At all times during my stay... more

Pros: Good gym, clean, modern, large rooms and nice bathrooms, Cons: Poor room service menu, quilts so thick you can't breathe, poor breakfast choice (not much fresh fruit, cereal choice, nuts & seeds, etc), over friendly/inexperienced staff For a similair price and a proper 4 star, I would recommned staying at the McDonald Holyrood. more

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel when I stayed here for work in Dec 07. The public rooms were stylishly decorated and when we arived mid afternoon we had a nice and freshly prepared lunch in the bar. My room had 3 single beds which was a bit strange for a single business traveller but it was quite comfortable... more

We stayed here for only one night for a short visit to Edinburgh, having previously stayed at the Thistle and George the Royal terrace was slightly further out than i normally like although the surrounding area and gardens are both very nice. Service wasnt the best and although the hotel LOOKS fantastic they could have spent a little more on... more

All round this hotel is pretty safe bet if you want to get away to Edinburgh for a few days. It is around 10/15 minutes walk from Princess Street, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile so ideally situated for the main attractions. Inside it is clean and simple and clearly geared up for business clientel, however, the staff were friendly... more

my partner and i have just returned from a long weekend stay at the royal terrace hotel and and we both feel it was a bit of a let down for a number of reasons. The garden was nothing like any of the photo's we looked at for a start as it was more like a building site, The rooms... more

Booked this hotel as a last minute get away for the Saturday night just before New Years 2007. Although the hotel has been renevated and the public areas look nice, clean and modern - the rooms themselves were a bit of a let down. It just didn't feel like it quite hit the 4* level it has. The bathroom had... more

My family have just come back from what was supposed to be a Fantastic Christmas stay at a 4star hotel in the great city of Edinburgh. We were there for 4 days over Christmas - may i add the Hotel Manager and Chef were not. It was run like an episode of Faulty Towers. The staff running the show were... more
