Had a wonderful stay. Amazing buffet breakfast. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. About a 10 minute walk into town and the tram stop is just around the corner for getting to and from the airport. Would definitely stay again and recommend to other people.

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.

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!

A decent stay at Voco!

Older style hotel that Volvo have down up to a decent standard. Lobby area and bar fantastic. Rooms are okay, beds are rather small and bathrooms haven’t been refurbished so they are looking tired. Good breakfast offering, very bad coffee machines… these need changing! Service overall from Voco team was welcoming and warm.

Expedia failed to advise the property of my booking which caused a lot of stress at check-in. That said, the staff was helpful and friendly to still get us a room. Property is on a hill which can make getting there with luggage challenging, but the property itself is easy to find and elevator makes room access easy. Room was clean and a nice place to use as a base to explore Edinburgh. Sink faucet was bit wobbly when used, but otherwise a fantastic stay for the price.

Not what we expected ….

We were in Room 9 which looked very worn, and not the cleanest. Extractor Fan in bathroom hasn’t been cleaned for a very long time, grout was starting to mould and bath requires replacing. Shaving Mirror also had rust. No bedside table between beds (only outside of beds), no power socket near mirror for wife to straighten her hair. USB sockets next to bed didn’t work either. Sad to say but don’t think I would stay here again. Only positive is the hotel is in a great location for the city centre
