24 Royal Terrace

This is a very pleasant boutique hotel in a Grade A listed Georgian terrace within walking distance of Princes Street. However due to it being a listed building there is no lift. We were allocated a room on the top floor and being pensioners we found the climb up three flights of stairs rather difficult and were fortunate to be able to afford to pay for an upgrade to a junior suite on the first floor we appreciated the discount to their usual rate offered by the receptionist. This room was very spacious, beautifully finished to a high standard with a very nice en-suite, a fridge with mini bar. Breakfast was not included in the room rate and while of a good standard in my opinion was not value for money. The continental breakfast consists of cereals, croissants, small pastries with a choice of two fruit juices, home made yoghurt, fruit salad and jams. Cooked items incurring a fairly steep supplement. I have to say all the staff were very nice, friendly and attentive. The hotel sells itself as being an art gallery as well as a hotel and the walls are full of paintings mostly of modern art which personally was not to my taste.
