The Spotlight on Voco Edinburgh Royal Terrace

Stylish and Serene Stay Near the Action

Modern comfort meets classic elegance at Voco Edinburgh Royal Terrace, a 4-star escape tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in central Edinburgh. Just a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station and bustling Princes Street, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat without sacrificing location. With garden views, sleek décor, and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s a smart pick for music fans looking to mix their gig night with some well-earned rest.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the hotel's proximity to venues near Princes Street and the city centre, while still enjoying a peaceful night's sleep thanks to its residential setting. It’s just a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station, making late-night transport easy. The 12:00 check-out is ideal for those who’ve danced the night away, and the 24-hour room service means you’re never too late for a bite.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a stylish base close to the city's nightlife
  • Solo travelers on a mission to see their favorite artist
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value in a 4-star setting

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Terrace Brasserie serves up casual bistro fare using fresh local ingredients, and there’s a bar/lounge with a snack menu for lighter bites. Craving something after the encore? The hotel offers 24-hour room service. Breakfast is served late enough to suit those who hit snooze after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, you’re just a stroll from some of Edinburgh’s best bars and clubs. The hotel bar is a relaxed spot for a nightcap featuring local spirits, and the surrounding area offers plenty of walkable nightlife, whether you’re into cocktails or cozy pubs.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s quiet location that’s still central, the comfortable and spacious rooms, and the friendly staff. Many mention how easy it is to get to and from gigs, especially with Waverley Station so close. The garden views and overall calm vibe are big pluses for those looking to unwind.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that rooms can feel a bit dated in certain areas, and others wished the on-site bar stayed open later. Still, these are minor trade-offs for the overall comfort and location.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show in Edinburgh and want a stylish, quiet hotel just minutes from the action, Voco Edinburgh Royal Terrace hits all the right notes.

Very nice, staff were great!

Liked: The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is in a great location, very near the hustle and bustle but tucked away on a peaceful street. The bar area is very nice.
Disliked: Amenities in the room could be a bit better such as a suitable plug for charging your phone near the bed, bathroom supplies such as a shower cap, cotton wool pads etc.

The people make the place...

Liked: I felt safe there. The people were so kind. Many people that worked there became my friends. I look forward to staying in touch them. While in Scotland it became my home base. It was close to the centre but off from the main tourist areas. You could have a quiet night in or go out close by. It was closed to St. James Square mall and off Princes Street which is the main part of the new city with plenty of boutiques, restaurants and bars. It is also close to the Royal Mile. Calden Hill is down the street and the top has the great views of the city. It’s also close to the train station.
Disliked: The menu could be expanded a little.

A very nice hotel with...

Liked: The breakfast was very good, the hotel looked very clean and well presented
Disliked: I have to say the hotel was great in every way and my room was clean and had good amenities. But the bed was probably the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on

Ok price

Liked: Property is in a nice location, rooms are ok and clean, price is very good for Edinburgh.
Disliked: The property advertise a 24/7 in room dining service - I tried to call and was told that the kitchen was closed and I couldn’t order any food, when I asked why they advertise the in room dining I wasn’t given a proper answer. When I asked reception the day after they told me they “understood my frustration and will escalate with management”. I’ve seen many old reviews complaining about this too, I just think this hotel has never offered in room dining. The tv was quite old but the staff said I could connect to chromecast, which actually didn’t work (as I think the TV was too old to support but they wanted to add as a service anyway).
