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.

Disliked: The carpet and seating areas in our bedroom were filthy (stained), not nice at all - The cleaning staff came in to clean our room on our 2nd day - cleaned the bin took our used 2 large bathroom towels (which we had left hung up so they didn't need to take them) and then left us 1 towel in replacement..... They never replacd the used coffee pods and left the used coffee cups in the room - Also there was no water supplied to the room at all during our stay - We did ask for a jug of water but it never arrived

Very good

Disliked: Room was not available on time. Air condition didn’t work and service at the restaurant for dinner was not clear. One day we were redirect to sit in any table and then ask to move to the bar but none told us we can order from there.

Very nice but expensive

Liked: 24/7 reception desk (we arrived at 2 am and very much welcomed). Efficient service.
Disliked: Basement room for the price of £300. We only stayed for a one nighter and with breakfast not included, so was expenxive. I was expecting high end luxury, but instead had a nice but fairly basic room
