My stay at 24 Royal Terrace was largely a good experience, but the breakfast left much to be desired. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with a unique charm, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the breakfast didn't meet the high standards set by the rest of my stay, with some dishes lacking the expected quality. Overall, I would recommend the hotel for its ambiance and service but suggest skipping the breakfast.

I chose a deluxe room that was stylish and exceeded my expectations in comfort and cleanliness. The decor was unique and thoughtfully designed, contributing positively to my experience. However, I did notice some noise from the cobbled streets outside, which could be an issue during warmer months for light sleepers.

Nestled on a quiet street, the location is perfect for sightseeing. It's just a short walk to the city center, making it handy for exploring. I appreciated the peacefulness of the surroundings, especially after busy days.

Dining

While I had high hopes for breakfast due to the staff's enthusiastic recommendations, it was disappointing overall. The basic items like cereals and pastries were fine, but my choice of a full Scottish breakfast fell short on quality, with several elements unappetizing. I would suggest looking for local cafes instead for a better breakfast experience.
